“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!”
My son was not well prepared in Spanish, consequently, he had lost enthusiasm in doing the tasks assigned to him by the class teacher at the High School level. A friend advised me to refer to Maria Conte to assist my son with Spanish. My son enjoyed meeting with Maria weekly. Maria, blessed with a beautiful smile, kindness, patience and professional knowledge, made a great contribution to the improvement of my son’s Spanish and his school grades. Maria is an excellent teacher and tutor!
“My son and I took Greek cooking classes with Maria Conte. My husband is Greek, therefore my son gave me some gift certificates to be applied to cooking instruction with Maria as he had already taken a few classes with her in company of his girlfriend. I am not a great cook myself, but learning how to make stuffed vine leaves, spanakopita, tzatziki and baklava was an absolute extraordinary experience that increased my self-confidence in the kitchen. Thank you Maria for your gracious assistance!”
