Desi

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

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

Desi is a very good teacher. Not only is she patient and kind, she is also very prepared with a new lesson each time we meet. I also appreciate the way in which Desi answers unexpected questions. She has a library of resources at the ready, and she is able to quickly find a document to share which answers the questions clearly and easily. I love my Google Classroom site, which is becoming a collection of our lessons and shared resources. Grazie mille, Desi!

Another wonderful experience! Perfect lecture material :)

Wonderful, can't wait for my next lesson :)
