“AnnaMaria is a wonderful teacher, very patient, always in good spirit, never dull, and never condescending.  She methodically advances through our Italian language text book and exercises, and effectively uses the whiteboard to review and summarize the important language and grammar details.“

“I think my first real conversation in Italian was while I was in Rome in September 2018.  I stopped in a small gelateria.  There were no other patrons, just myself and the young man behind the counter.  I decided to place my order in Italian.  I think I felt brave because there was no “audience”… he was so kind and patient.  As I was leaving he said, “You speak Italian beautifully.”  Oh my gosh!“
