Arianna Z. ☀️

Anna is an outstanding teacher. I have studied Italian for many years through a variety of methods and, as a result, I have some gaps in my knowledge. When one of these gaps becomes apparent she can quickly adjust the lesson to help me improve in those areas that I've missed. I especially appreciate the thorough written notes that she creates during the lesson. This is so helpful to me when I review the material. She has given me many excellent resources to help me in my studies. I feel like I am finally making progress. I'm so glad to have the opportunity to study with Anna!

I have been using an app (DuoLingo) to learn Italian, and I realize it will only get me so far. While it has taken me through many basics and even intermediate topics, I know from other efforts that I continue to have questions on the basics (and some areas where “I don’t know what I don’t know”). I came to italki looking for a professional teacher to help me overcome those limitations without making me start at the very beginning; I was searching for a teacher with a combination of flexibility and structure to cover the appropriate areas in an organized way. I found that teacher in Anna. For our first lesson, I explained what I had I done to date and what I wanted to do. Our next lesson did start with basics, but Anna used that to point out some errors I had made in our initial conversation. Just what I needed. As we have completed more lessons, each is a combo of topics she wants to address (the structure) and topics she picks up from our interactions. Very much recommended!

I am preparing with Arianna for CILS C1, and, more importantly, I am filling gaps in my knowledge. She is a great teacher, very motivating and flexible. She provides me with materials based my personal needs and explains points that I don't get from the first attempt in different ways. I have worked with many English and Italian teachers in the past, but Arianna definitely stands out.

Ogni settimana non vedo l'ora di fare una lezione con Anna.

Anna is great and I recommend her to all. She is easy to work with, helpful, and knowledgable. Grazie mille, Anna!

Non solo e Anna la migliore insegnante di italiano qui, ma è anche il migliore insegnante su Italki!
