Desi

I continue to be amazed at the resources which Desi uses for the class - always interesting and thought-provoking. Excellent.

Desi mi ha fatto conoscere la poesia di Montale, una cosa per cui sarò sempre grato.

Desi quickly realized a teaching method I can learn from. She explained a lesson I would normally experience and was very patient with me

I have been learning Italian with Desi on a weekly basis for over three years now. I have found her to be an incredible teacher who is professional, creative, and responsive. First, Desi provides students with a wide variety of options for scheduling lessons and has never missed a lesson. She keeps track of my progress through textbooks and provides tailored writing assignments and supplemental materials. As a professional teacher, she has lots of interesting materials that she can tailor to your interests including music, films, and articles on art and culture. Finally, Desi serves as an excellent coach who has helped me identify those areas where I need more work. She provides comments on my writing assignments and pronunciation and helps me understand context that is not always apparent in apps or textbooks. I am thankful to have found such a thoughtful and passionate teacher and would encourage anyone looking to begin or continue their language journey to study with her.

Desi is very patient and encouraging, lessons with her have helped me stay motivated. I appreciate that she teaches entirely in Italian and definitely recommend lessons with her.

Wonderful teacher..energic and supportive
