Testimonials

"I've had a great time studying with Gabriella! She makes learning Italian fun and relevant for my needs. I have learned vocabulary, grammar and basic sentence structure in two months' time, and I look forward to working with her more through this beautiful language".

It’s always been a lifelong dream of mine to learn to speak my grandparents’ native language, Italian. I had studied in school for years, but it wasn’t until I started taking one-on-one lessons with Gabriella that I felt I really had a good grasp of the language. She is very patient, knowledgeable and a great communicator. Every lesson is personalized for me and in our time together my Italian has improved immensely. I am now able to understand and communicate a lot more than I ever was. Gabriella è la migliore!

I started my classes with Gabriella in September 2020. From our first meeting of evaluation, I knew I had found the right teacher. She is open and friendly, easy to understand and to follow. The conversations are always related to our everyday life which makes it easier to learn and to associate the words and the grammar. The lessons go by very quickly as it is always very interesting and fun! I am looking forward to continuing my lessons with her!

"My boyfriend and I have been working on our Italian with Gabriella for over a year. She's been able to get both of us on the same page even though we started at different speaking levels and is the perfect mix of professional and fun. We genuinely love learning from her and are super motivated to continue our studies!!"

Learning a new language may seem daunting, but not with Gabriella as your teacher. Her friendly and exciting attitude allows her lessons to feel more like intellectual conversations rather than time spent in a classroom. Through a mix of readings, writings, and even improv dialogues, I feel that I’ve been introduced into every aspect of the Italian language – and this is only after the first year. Gabriella’s expert knowledge and encouragement gives you the confidence to continue – and shows you the joy of – learning another language.

I love my lessons with Gabriella!! I have learned so much, she is patient and very knowledgeable. I have been taking lessons since 2019, when I traveled in Italy in 2019, I was able to read and understand as I traveled alone part of the time. Gabriella also helped me with accommodations in Italy. I saw her in Italy, and we did the Path of Gods trail on the Amalfitan Coast. It was the most beautiful trail I’ve ever been on. I am currently taking online lessons with her and my goal is to speak fluent enough to travel and stay in Italy for 3 weeks in 2022. 
I recommend having Gabi as your teacher because she is kind, funny and very passionate about teaching others.

When I discovered Gabriella, I already had a basic knowledge of Italian; however, taking group classes limits one's ability to learn at their pace and level. In September 2019 I spent one month with Gabriella’s “HomeStay” for her immersion course and not only did I Improve my Italian I gained a new family.  Through “HomeStay” I was exposed to the “Italian Life” food, local shopping, cooking, day to day tasks, etc.  Previously my trips to Italy had always been as a tourist, although a nice way to be exposed to many famous tourist places, those tours are not “Italia”. HomeStay provides an enriching learning environment that is impossible to experience in the classroom. Since returning to the US, I have continued my studies with Gabriella, who is a very patient teacher explaining things in an easy-to-understand manner. She provides a variety of exercises to assist with mastering the language that match my learning style. I look forward to my weekly lessons via Skype and look forward to returning to Italy for another “HomeStay” with Gabriella.

After studying Italian in school and through language learning apps, I was able to understand a lot but couldn’t respond and hold a conversation. 
Since studying with Gabriella, I’ve gained a much better grasp of conversational Italian, verb conjugations, and grammar. She’s very patient and friendly, and her lessons are relevant to everyday life with an emphasis on conversation. It’s not just the language that you learn, but also the culture when learning from a native speaker. I’m so happy to have found Gabriella, and I look forward to fulfilling my lifelong dream of speaking fluent Italian!

"I already spoke Italian when I met Gabriella. I had studied it in Florence many years before but didn't have real mastery of the language for lack of practice. Now after almost a year of study (one lesson a week) I'm very happy with the level I've reached and I'm really happy to have found a teacher who is as nice, cheerful, and interesting as Gabriella. Our lessons are structured around topics I find very interesting - theatre, art, Italian culture, football and politics. We also work on grammar and I do homework during the week. For every lesson Gabriella finds different things to make the learning process stimulating. I hope in the near future to do a homestay course with my wife at Gabriella's home and in the meantime I'm continuing to study online with her. I recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Italian."

I have been following weekly Skype classes with Gabriella for over a year now and do not intend to stop! Gabriella is a sensitive, intelligent teacher who adapts her teaching to bring out the best in her pupils. When I started with her I was very shy to speak but I now feel confident to chat in Italian. I highly recommend her as a teacher.
