Angela Palmitesta

I wholeheartedly recommend Angela to everyone who wants to learn Italian. She’s knowledgeable, passionate, energetic, extremely helpful, and supremely accommodating. I especially like the fact that Angela comes prepared for every single lesson and constantly surprises me with the variety of topics and exercises, which help me continuously with my progress. What’s equally important is that Angela is an excellent motivator, and also a very sensible person. She knows exactly when to continue pressing on a specific topic, or when it is time to switch gears. I can honestly state that I’m looking forward to each and every lesson with Angela, and I’m very grateful for the enthusiasm she inserts into every single interaction.

A fantastic teacher! So much energy and makes you feel at ease! even if you are struggling to find the right vocabulary or grammar, Angela listens and helps in a way that allows you to feel confident and not at all uncomfortable!

Angela es una maestra bastante divertida y tiene un conocimiento buenísimo de su lengua materna, el italiano. He empezado con ella desde un nivel principante y ya siento que he aprendido mucho en un plazo corto. Crea un ambiente que te hace sentir cómoda en las lecciones y que puedes hacer preguntas, cometer errores y pedir cosas específicas que quieres aprender. Los materiales que usa para la clase son buenas y bastante útiles. También es buena en darte deberes y revisarlos contigo en la próxima clase. Recomiendo a Angela si quieres aprender italiano.

A great lesson with lots of discussion and vocabulary learned!

It was a great first lesson with Angela! She is very down to earth, warm, and personable. She gave me plenty of opportunities to speak, and really cared about getting to know me and my motivations for learning. She was also flexible about how we proceed with lessons from here. I look forward to upcoming lessons!

Angela does a great job! Very patient and enthusiastic. I feel like I’m learning very quickly.
