Miriam's energy, enthusiasm, and openness make each lesson something to look forward to. She gives me a lot of leeway to make mistakes (and I make plenty of them!) without interrupting the flow of the conversation to correct all of them. Because of that, I'm willing to plow ahead and keep trying. The bottom line is that Miriam is a wonderful teacher.

Fantastic teacher. Miriam is very patient and helpful with a friendly bubbly character. First lesson was a great experience.

My conversations with Miriam are so interesting and fun, even when I'm tongue tied and struggling to find the words to express what I want to say. Miriam is extraordinarily patient and helpful.

Miriam is a great teacher, she has a way of putting you at ease and taking the pressure off. Learning a new language definitely feels more fun and less like a struggle because of her. Making it seem effortless is the mark of an experienced and skilled teacher. Highly recommended

Miriam is such an excellent teacher that I just recommended her to a friend who is learning Italian.

It always amazes me how quickly the time flies for our lessons. The discussion questions that Miriam suggests are fascinating and thought provoking. It also is a great help to me to get her perspective on the topic(s) of the day.
