I took “Live your Life Happily” with Maria this past spring. Maria was engaging and knowledgeable. She offered a lot of insights and tips for life’s challenges. Because we were a small group, it was very interactive and a lot of fun. C.P. –Brookline–Spring 2023 

“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 work in a hospital setting frequented by many South American patients who do not speak English. In order to communicate with them, I have taken two language courses privately with Maria Conte: “Intro to Spanish I” and “Spanish for Health Care Providers.” I found both courses to be well structured and easy to follow. The material is clearly presented and very useful. I also really appreciated Maria’s flexibility, gentleness and patience to work with me according to my availability, including Sundays. I have already signed up for the Conversation course. I gladly recommend taking Spanish classes with Maria Conte.” – Mia G. – Randolph, MA – Winter 2025
