Mena

Mean has been more than a language instructor. She taught me Italian culture, history, and shared a few recipes with me. After learning the basics, she focused on the things I wanted to learn. Asking for directions and understanding the responses, asking about items on a menu and for recommendations, and even explaining Italian traffic signs, laws and driving tips. In just a few months, Mena has taken me for knowing zero Italian to a B1 level. I look forward to continuing my Italian journey under Mena’s tutelage.

Mena is an amazing Italian tutor! She is very friendly and patient, has great resources for learning, makes a constant effort to keep the lessons in Italian, and also gives you ample time to speak and think. She is also really flexible with lesson plans, so if you have an idea of the conversation topics or grammar areas you want to work on she is very open to working on those areas. With each lesson, my ability to speak and, more importantly, my confidence increase significantly! Grazie mille, Mena!

I had a good lesson with Mina. I was feeling nervous but she was very friendly and calm and I relaxed quickly. I wanted to talk and just have a conversation and she was great at letting me try new things as well as giving me some gentle corrections without taking my confidence away. thank you

Today was my first lesson with Mena. I could not be more pleased. Previously I’ve had lessons for other languages with different teachers. They always made me feel uncomfortable and pressured. Mena was completely the opposite. She made me feel totally comfortable and never embarrassedhh despite my many mistakes. I’m looking forward to future lessons.

Just had my first lesson and I’m really looking forward to having a second one with her!! We talked through the lesson plan and she was very kind and receptive to my ideas. I can’t wait to see how it plays out!

Muy buena clase como de cosstumbre. Gracias!
