Natalia

Natalia is an excellent teacher. I don't have any specific plan and I've only acquainted myself with Italian through a 10-minute exercise a day app, so my skills are very basic. I can barely make a sentence I intend, despite having some beginner vocabulary. Natalia has a wonderful and warm personality: with patience and curiosity she allows for my growing pains to be less prevalent. The learning process becomes fun, challenging but interesting. And I always learn something besides Italian language: we have bought up topics of gender equality in a language formation, job interest among youth, origins of different kinds of pasta, etc. All of this with my very modest skills. I'm very excited I get to spend time with such and excellent teacher and human!

Obrigada, Natalia! I always learn so much from you and deeply appreciate all the warmth, kindness, patience, and care that you put into every lesson. :)

I am gaining a wonderful appreciation of a great Italian writer through my lessons with Natalia. And I am practicing a higher level of speaking, which is a great gift.

Natalia and I had a great conversation about the short stories we've been reading. I love the author and my sessions with Natalia. I have the opportunity to express my opinions and therefore use (or try to use) new vocabulary and more advanced grammar.

Natalia is absolutely among the finest language teachers I have ever encountered. I study both Portuguese and Italian with her and every lesson is a joy.

Natalia is an exceptional teacher. She helped me prepare for my B1 exam, especially the written and oral components. Thanks to her, I was able to follow a consistent study plan: she provided excellent preparation materials, always reviewed and corrected my texts before class so we could focus on discussing improvements together, and guided me through oral exercises that were closely aligned with the exam format. During our speaking practice, she is incredibly attentive to detail and manages to offer corrections without ever overwhelming me or making me feel self-conscious. I truly appreciate her supportive and effective teaching style!
