Maria Conte Programs

I make a work-related trip to Italy every other year. When I came home from the 2017 trip I vowed to learn Italian, so I signed up for the Brookline Adult Ed class and Maria was my teacher. After I completed all the courses offered there, I continued to study with Maria, joining one of her small groups of students. Our Monday nights are filled with fun and learning. Talking about what we did last week, our plans for the next, this disparate group has gotten to know each other and care about each other—in the here and now. And all while learning Italian. Though it may be hard to get myself out of the house in the cold and dark now that it’s winter, I am always glad to be met by Maria’s warmth and upbeat approach. And, during this 2019 trip to Italy, I could read all the advertisements and signs, make myself understood, and even eavesdrop a bit. Thank you, Maria!

I very much enjoyed having Maria as my Spanish Instructor. Maria was always prepared and organized for every lesson. Maria took the time necessary to explain the lessons and for us to ask questions. I found Maria to be pleasant, professional with a warm and welcoming personality. I would recommend Maria to anyone, young or mature like myself who has the desire to learn Spanish.

“I am of Italian descent and want my U.S.-born children to take Italian citizenship. In order to start the process, the Consulate General of Italy required the translation of some important family documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, various letters and a Divorce Agreement from English to Italian.  Maria Conte was referred to me by a work colleague, and I subsequently hired her to do my services. I was very pleased with her attention and at the quality of the resulting work she delivered to me. I recommend Maria Conte for the translation of any documents.”
