Lara is an outstanding teacher that explains the reasons behind rules in a way that helps you retain and apply the class lessons. She thinks outside the box to provide extra exercises that will help reinforce difficult topics. I gain confidence after every class!

Lara is an excellent instructor helping to navigate challenging exercises and proving very insightful feedback. Each class leaves me feeling empowered and smarter than the lesson before thanks to her combination of thoughtful and very relevant homework assignments, review and discussions.

Lara is such a great Italian teacher—kind, patient, supportive, and always encouraging. Her classes are always comfortable, but she also always finds ways to challenge me and keep me moving forward. She has been helping me prepare for an upcoming trip to Italy, and I feel so much more confident and ready now than I did when I started. Her lessons are engaging, practical, and tailored to my goals. Grazie, Lara, per il tuo aiuto e la tua pazienza!

Lara’s deep teaching experience has enhanced my learning difficult subject material. She has integrated various source material to teach and reinforce subjects, and it has helped me ti practice and apply my learning in very productive ways. For example, we stepped away from the core education guide to do worksheets helping le to learn more verbs and the dynamics of past tense. We returned to the guide after a number of weeks, and in doing so the content presented made more sense and I am able to retain what I learned on past tense even more. She’s the best instructor and she takes deep pride in excellence. Thank you Lara!

I have been working with Lara for about a year now, and I have seen so much progress in my Italian! Her lessons are a great combination of formal learning and real-life immersion (casual conversation, podcast listening, reading, etc.) I have found her methods to be extremely effective and I really enjoy meeting with her each week :)

Today was a great mix of practicing both listening and speaking skills. We reviewed some simple dialogue, learned new vocabulary, and also did some exercises to help me learn how to put together new sentence structures. Fun and engaging as usual, grazie!
