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. :)

Natalia is an awesome teacher! She always comes prepared with fun and interactive activities that help me stretch and try new words and situations for conversation. Nothing is rigid or monotonous--I LOVE these lessons! Mille grazie, Natalia!

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 and I continue to enjoy the short stories of the Italian writer, Alberto Moravia. Reading and discussing these stories in Italian helps me with all aspects of my Italian - reading, speaking, listening. When the stories are available on youtube, I have the added pleasure of listening to them in Italian. Natalia is a great teacher!

Natalia is a phenomenal teacher!
