Chiara Pepe

After studying Italian for a few years, I felt that I knew alot about the language but was struggling with engaging in spontaneous conversation. In preparation for a trip to Italy, I began studying with Chiara and the lessons helped me immensely. She is a great conversationalist; patient, helpful and just fun to be with. My sessions with her are always one of the highlights of my week. I highly recommend her.

Chiara è un'insegnante molto amichevole. Lei mi motiva sempre. Mi piace davvero imparare con lei.

Really enjoying working with Chiara so far! Getting a chance to speak, do homework, and go over grammar has been so helpful for my learning! looking forward to more!

Chiara Pepe is all those adjectives: energetic yet calm, caring yet diligent, playful yet patient, casual and disciplined and always always creative in the moment. I think to carry on a conversation with someone you don't know that well, and whose Italian is as rusty as mine, she has to be like a jazz musician, always willing to pivot and go down a new road. Chiara's creativity shows in her ability to improvise with me, all the time. Mille grazie, Chiara!

Chiara is very patient and helpful. She speaks clearly and is encouraging.

Insegna molto bene.
