Hi everyone, I have an American dad and an Italian mum, and I live in the north of Italy. I have a background in communication and journalism, and worked as an English and Italian teacher in Dublin, Ireland, for several years before moving back to Italy. My hobbies include theater, yoga, and reading. I also really enjoy traveling and spending time in nature. I love meeting people from all walks of life and I look forward to accompanying you on your language-learning journey.
Ik als leerkracht
I have a communicative approach to teaching, i.e. I like to focus on the student's ability to communicate and get their message across, and I like to involve them in real meaningful conversations. Having said that, I still think proper form matters, so I will provide feedback on grammar and pronunciation as well. I'm a language student myself, so I can empathize with the struggle, and I strive to make our classes fun and enjoyable!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My conversation classes are a good fit if you want to learn to talk about yourself and express yourself on a broad range of subjects. I also offer the option of reading and discussing online articles, which will allow you to practice reading out loud and to work on your pronunciation more in depth.

I am very glad I have found Mary Louise. At first I was afraid one hour lessons would be too long, but they are passing in a breeze. Along the way I get feedback neatly keyed into the chat.

It was an excellent lesson, just like the previous ones. I had a nice conversation with Mary Louise about many subjects. She is excellent in helping me finding the proper words, phrases, and correct me when needed. I am very satisfied with these lessons.

We always have a lot to share and I admire Mary Louise for her waiting patiently while I am wrecking my brain looking for words. Or guessing them, throwing some French, Latin and Dutch together.

Glad to talk to Mary Louise again in my broken Italian after a three week hiatus
