Very good Italian teacher - Self-learning Italian Language online

Here some examplesof my students’ feedbacks:

BEST TEACHER WE'VE EVER HAD!!!

I and my girlfriend have had the pleasure of taking online Italian language classes for beginners with Alessandra for the last month. Alessandra makes the class personable and fits it to your needs. She is very capable in explaining small subtle differences in context and nuance, something a lot of teachers lack. At the same time, she has a way of understanding the amount of progress one has achieved and respond accordingly. She has been very flexible with scheduling (very useful for someone with a busy schedule as us) and provides a wealth of resources for further studying. We have both reached a level where the language makes sense, an impressive feat after only a month. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a knowledgeable and competent teacher to strongly consider Alessandra.

excellent teacher

I have been learning italian with Ale for 10 months now. I have found our lessons enjoyable and informative. Ale is very friendly, professional, patient and approachable.

I was lucky enough to stay in Ale's apartment for 3 weeks in August this year. Every day I had between 3 to 5 hours of lessons and made great progress during this time. It was also lovely to meet Ale's welcoming family.

Esino Lario is a beautiful little village, high in the hills above Il Lago di Como, 12 kms from Varenna. This is a non tourist village with friendly people, beautiful old cobblestone streets and stone houses, great walks and excellent bike riding on the roads and mountains around Il Lago di Como. It has a great market on Tuesday mornings so you can buy delicious Italian fresh produce.

It was a great experience to be able to immerse myself in italian culture, language and food for 3 weeks and connect with my italian heritage. My husband rode his bike every day, so he was also happy!!

Family of 4 learns Italian together

We are a family of 4 from California, two adults and two kids, age 10 and 8. We had about 5 months of 1 hour per week lessons before a trip to Italy in October 2013. Ale was somehow able to have a class for a family of 4 with radically different language learning abilities! During our trip, we felt we could understand the language enough to navigate most interactions with Italian speaking natives, as well as get all around Italy by car without trouble. We shopped for groceries, asked about restaurants, ordered food, figured out directions all in broken Italian.

Our host at one agriturismo, who only spoke Italian, was totally impressed with the kids' ability to sing Italian children's songs without a noticeable accent!

We were able to visit Ale in her darling town of Esino Lario; I totally recommend it if you want off-the-beaten path Italy. We couldn't fit in Ale's flat, but we stayed in the flat of a friend that was perfect. We had two lessons with Ale while we were there which was fun, but what I would REALLY recommend is to take time for intensive language training with Ale when you are there. We will do that next time.

We are continuing with lessons with Ale after our trip, and now we are actually more motivated to learn and are making great strides.

Ale is professional, funny, prompt, kind, and really good at what she does. I recommend her heartily.
