Masha

A Mascia é uma professora incrível! Muito inteligente, dedicada e paciente. As aulas de conversação são sempre divertidas e cheias de novos conteúdos e vocabulários, além dos materiais utilizados serem muito bons e apropriados ao nível do aluno. Recomendo a todos que querem aprender a língua. Mi piace tantissimo imparare l'italiano con lei! Grazie, Mascia!

I’ve greatly enjoyed my lessons with Mascia. She has patiently built up my knowledge of Italian such that I am confident speaking in a variety of situations.

Another fantastic lesson! Mascia is great at nurturing all aspects of my Italian learning, and her patience has made it really comfortable to start speaking. I have had lessons with her as both a beginner and intermediate, and hope to continue once I become more advanced too!

It was wonderful talking with Mascia, and then reviewing the subjunctive mood. She has shared a wonderful document with me that covers all four forms of the subjunctive. We will cover them in the days ahead. We have also continued my vocabulary “gaps,” which often keep me from speaking confidently. I’m so happy that we have developed this program together. I’m excited!

Mascia always keeps my needs in mind. That is exactly what she did today during my lesson. She knows what my abilities are and pushes me, encourages me in subtle ways to progress. We are reviewing various areas of vocabulary. Today I shared a tuna dish I had in Italy, so we looked it up together. No luck. So that’s part of my homework for my next lesson. I could not be happier to have Mascia as my teacher/coach. Grazie mille, Mascia!

Teacher Masha provides many opportunities for me to speak. She asked me to practice oral talk with the basic grammar we've learned. I love the combination of practicing basic grammar and speaking. Also, she encourages me to think rather than telling me the answer directly, which is good for remembering knowledge. The classes were well organized. I also got previews and review tasks in between every lesson. Highly recommended!
