Hi! I'm Mara, your Italian tutor on a mission: to turn learning into enjoyable, culture-rich conversations! Born and raised in Italy, I love exploring languages (I speak four) and sharing tips to master them without stress. I know learning can feel intimidating, but with me, it’ll feel like chatting with a friend: natural, fun, and super useful. Ready to get started? 😊
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
📣 I do not teach children and absolute beginners (A1).
🚨 IMPORTANT: If you can’t attend a lesson, please let me know in advance. If you miss a booked class, kindly mark it as complete and book another. If you notify me ahead of time, I’ll be happy to reschedule.
Thank you for your understanding!
🗣 My class' focus is on conversation full of vocabulary terms for the student to learn. The topic will change every time: culture, food, literature, recipes, movies, travels...
🤹🏻 The students will describe pictures, do dictation activities and funny exercises, but mostly talk about their routine, their travels, and more.
At the end of the class I always tell my students my thoughts about their Italian skills based on the conversation we had, and I give them some tips to improve progressively.
⭐️ This is a safe space: feel free to share your thoughts, make mistakes and make questions. Don’t stress too much and enjoy the process.

Mara is a great teacher. She does not rely on ready set of exercises, but adapts them to address my particular concerns and difficulties. I higly recommend Mara!

Mara is great. She isn't overbearing, and helps me feel comfortable speaking in Italian with her.

Time flies with Mara! I have had a regular weekly conversation with her since the beginning of January. We have had good, engaging discussions about a plethora of topics. Mara has given me a lot of gentle advice and useful tips for keeping my Italian “on the track”. She has laid foundations for each of our talks by providing me with an interesting and enlightening article about the topic at hand. I am glad to recommend Mara to all fellow Italian learners!
