“As a student of Maria’s in Italian I and Italian II, I would recommend her courses to anyone. Classes were held weekly and were very organized, very productive and featured a great deal of speaking and reading in the foreign language. She is a caring teacher–very patient but also of course very knowledgeable. The curriculum stresses basic syntactic structures of the language, and by the end of it, you come away with a pretty strong foundation in the language and the ability to start conversing with native speakers.”
“This course was so much more than just a language class. Each week, we looked forward to coming together to speak Italian while exploring meaningful topics around love, relationships, and how to navigate them thoughtfully. We learned how to express ourselves more clearly in Italian, but also how to recognize the difference between authentic, healthy relationships and those that aren’t. The conversations were honest, thought-provoking, and often eye-opening — all in a warm, safe, and engaging environment. A special thank-you to our instructor, Maria Conte, whose ability to guide the discussions with insightful questions and clear examples of both positive and negative dynamics made each session truly impactful. Her warmth, professionalism, and intuitive approach helped us grow both linguistically and personally. It was incredibly useful not only for our language growth but also for our self-awareness. We appreciated the space to reflect, connect, and communicate — all while gaining confidence in real-life Italian conversation. This class was interesting, enriching, and a lot of fun. We’re so grateful for the experience!”
“I have been taking Maria’s classes for a year. I took private Italian lessons with Maria Conte and then joined a group class. She is a great teacher- the classes are always well-prepared and engaging, and she encourages great conversations among students. I started with the alphabet and now I can understand whole articles and conversations in Italian, which is truly amazing. Thank you, Maria.”
