“My wife and I took two conversation classes with Maria Conte. Both were very helpful for improving our pronunciation, listening and speaking skills. The classes were well organized. Professoressa Maria listened carefully, spoke slowly, and gave us personalized suggestions and help. We also enjoyed ourselves which helped us relax and speak more freely. I recommend the conversation classes as a supplement for students who are studying Italian in more academic settings, or as a review for those who know some Italian and want to informally review and practice speaking. I also took a private tutorial, “Spanish for Travelers” from Professoressa Maria. It was intense, and very helpful. Maria Conte is an excellent teacher with loads of experience and a warm, personal approach.”

“I’m 90 years old, and wanted to make my last trip to Italy this year. To surprise my family, I took some Italian private lessons with Maria Conte. She kindly and patiently guided me through her fabulous textbook. To my surprise I learned quite a lot. I highly recommend Professoressa Conte to anyone who would like to learn Italian!” – Joseph S. Milton, MA – Fall 2022

“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
