Lara Missaglia

This was only a 30 minute trial lesson, but it felt thorough and full! Lara was well prepared and made me feel comfortable. We discussed my language experience, goals, and a plan for how we would proceed. The lesson ended with establishing what Italian I already know. I am looking forward to taking more lessons with Lara!

I had another great lesson with Lara today. The materials she uses are fun. They help build vocabulary and lead to extemporaneous conversation. At the end of the lesson, I felt positive about my progress and skills. Thank you, Lara!

Lara is the best. That's why I have continued to take lessons from her.

Lara is an excellent Italian teacher. She’s incredibly helpful, friendly and patient, which has made learning Italian much easier than I expected. In a short time, I’ve made far more progress than I thought possible. Her teaching style is clear and effective, and she always makes sure I fully understand each lesson before moving on. I would highly recommend Lara to anyone looking to learn Italian.

Lara is a wonderful, very experienced teacher who creates a learning plan that focuses on your current skill level and your personal goals. She prepares for every class and uses many different resources to supplement her teaching. I have completed 5 classes with her and I feel that she has accommodated my requests while helping me correct mistakes through clear explanations of word usage and grammatical concepts. I'm someone who asks a lot of questions and she patiently answers all of them. I've only done a class per week, but I think my progress would hasten if I was able to study with Lara twice a week.

Lara is an amazing teacher. The lessons are full of different activities (speaking, learning the grammar, listening, discussing Italian culture and many more). She always tries to give you as much as you can learn, but she's also very gentle when you don't understand some aspects of the language, and she explains them really well. I started speaking much more confidently after just a few lessons, and I'm definitely going to continue 😊
