“A complete beginner in Italian, I had the pleasure of studying Italian I and II in private lessons with Maria Conte. Maria is a highly experienced and enthusiastic instructor committed to providing an optimal language and cultural learning experience for her students. She is flexible, appreciative, and always encouraging. I recommend Maria Conte highly.”
I make a work-related trip to Italy every other year. When I came home from the 2017 trip I vowed to learn Italian, so I signed up for the Brookline Adult Ed class and Maria was my teacher. After I completed all the courses offered there, I continued to study with Maria, joining one of her small groups of students. Our Monday nights are filled with fun and learning. Talking about what we did last week, our plans for the next, this disparate group has gotten to know each other and care about each other—in the here and now. And all while learning Italian. Though it may be hard to get myself out of the house in the cold and dark now that it’s winter, I am always glad to be met by Maria’s warmth and upbeat approach. And, during this 2019 trip to Italy, I could read all the advertisements and signs, make myself understood, and even eavesdrop a bit. Thank you, Maria!

“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
