“Maria Conte came to our house for an Italian cooking class with my son. And yes, it was a gift for my son’s 16th birthday. With extreme kindness and skill, Maria and my son prepared an entire menu from appetizer to dessert, not excluding handmade pasta. The whole lesson was conducted in Italian. My son well enjoyed Maria’s guidance, learned new recipes and practiced Italian all at the same time. It was a great experience even for me who was watching everything from the next room. The food was delicious! I will hire Maria for future cooking lessons, and I want to recommend her to others, both young and old, as well.” – Ella H. Wilson – Newton, MA – Winter 2025
“I met Maria about a year ago at one of her cultural events through a friend who took many courses with her. It was a fun and interactive environment. It is a bit challenging for me to learn new things since I have a traumatic brain injury. In short, I was in a coma for a few months from a car accident. Afterwards, I took physical, occupational, and speech therapies to re-gain the basics of daily life. Then, I learned that Maria teaches Italian and Spanish. I knew a few words in Italian and was always interested in learning the language. I have heard that my last name, Diodato, means “God has given me!” I have learned a great deal of the Italian language and its heritage with Maria –of which has been both challenging and rewarding. I have also heard that learning another language is good for your brain and wards off symptoms of dementia. Now, I look forward to meeting with Maria twice a week for private tutoring. Maria uses a different technique with me, to help me better grasp and retain the words. She is a devoted, kind, and heartfelt person!”
“I have just completed my fourth Italian course with Maria Conte. Her lessons, in addition to the written and listening exercises (audio and video), are enriched with a variety of other mixed activities that encourage both interaction with other students in the class (role play and improvisation) and to fix the grammatical and cultural aspects of each lesson. I really appreciated Maria’s patience and kindness as well as the pleasant atmosphere of the class. I recommend all adults to take Italian classes with Maria, the best teacher I have ever met. Thank you Maria, see you in the next class!” – J. K. Crawford – Concord, MA – Winter 2025
