Ilaria Ziccardi

Ilaria is such a nice person, you can talk with her about literally ANYTHING! She knows a lot about italian culture and history and manages to explain even complicated grammar in an easy way. Oh and also, she constantly(!!!) makes you feel awesome about your Italian, which is very motivating :)

My conversations with Ilaria are really helping me improve my Italian! I like the conversational approach better because I'm living now in Italy and need immediate help with everyday conversations. Ilaria is engaging and curious, and I enjoy talking with her. I appreciate that she corrects me as we talk and offers immediate feedback. I now have more confidence when speaking with Italians in everyday situations.

I have had a number of lessons now with Ilaria. She is an energetic, supportive and highly motivated teacher. She genuinely cares for her students' development. I find that she constantly exceeds my expectations in our lessons. She is clearly a kind lady, which makes such a difference. She is also very Italian and very funny.

Very engaging and helpful instructor, with a superior knowledge of grammar. Has the capacity to explain in clear terms how to improve communicating in Italian, and is very good at picking up on the little details that helps a person be more clearly understood by a native speaker of Italian.

Thank you for another super lesson!Lessons with Ilaria are always time well invested. Even though I'm at an advanced level, I gain a lot from every lesson. Ilaria corrects all mistakes, which makes me feel more confident speaking Italian each time. I also really appreciate that she answers all my questions and doubts with patience and enthusiasm. Talking with Ilaria feels like chatting with a friend over coffee, which makes her lessons a wonderful combination of studying and pleasure.

It was a great pleasure meeting Ilaria! She brought her whole enthusiasm and energy, and she made me notice I remember much more than I thought since I had left off! And she's very knowledgeable in grammar for sure. Can't wait to have more classes together!
