Paola Calace

Paola is the perfect teacher: always interesting to talk to about everything, patient, friendly, intelligent and knowledgeable. The different subjects and materials she brings to class are always fascinating - from poetry and literature to history or world news - and she knows how to adapt her lessons to my interests and needs. The past few lessons in which we translated poems from Latin to Italian have been a delight. I always look forward to our weekly class :) Grazie Paola! 🙏

I love her classes so much! It is fantastic to learn so much about Roman history in Italian! She knows so so much, and it is enjoyable to listen to all of her stories about Ancient Rome and modern Italy!!! I can’t wait for my next class!

As always, a super lesson on a super interesting topic!

Studying Italian with Paola has been truly delightful. I felt immediately comfortable with her as she is so patient, clear, gentle with corrections, and easy to talk to. I appreciate how quickly she picked up on my interests, and as a result I genuinely enjoy doing my homework :) I always look forward to her lessons, Paola is a class act.

Super lesson on a culturally important film!

After three lessons with Paola, I want to share my enthusiasm for her with other students of Italian. I love talking with her. Her interest in literature, and classics in particular, is something I really appreciate. Paola speaks Latin! This has made it possible for us to read some famous Latin poems (Carpe Diem!) in the original. Thank you, Paola, it feels like a big journey is beginning.
