Donatella è un'ottima insegnante che lavora sempre per creare delle lezioni secondo ai bisogni degli studenti. Mi ha aiutato con il mio vocabolario e la grammatica per provare la sfida dell'esame di CILS B2, sempre pensando delle mie competenze e difficoltà. Ha delle idee diverse per ogni lezioni e ha fatto uno sforzo per veramente conoscermi. Ho imparato tanto della lingua e la cultura italiana con Donatella e mi sono divertita moltissimo. Grazie mille Donatella!!!

Finally I found my teacher! We are speaking in the lessons and by this way I am learning words and grammar and feeling better speaking italian. All rules with clear explanation. I just started but I am planning to continue with Donatella to reach my goals. Thankful to Donatella for our lessons and my friend, that recommended me her.

Each lesson I have with Donatella is always extremely insightful, educational, and beneficial. I am always learning so many new things about the Italian language and culture. Also, her teaching techniques are incredibly effective. I am now able to have conversations about many different topics with my family and friends! If you want to start sounding like a native Italian, you should check her out!

Onestamente, ho perso la cognizione del tempo mentre facevo lezione con lei. E ancora una volta, è stata una lezione molto divertente e piacevole. Superb😉

Donatella was an amazing teacher in helping me practice advanced grammatical and conversational topics ahead of a language exam. She is caring and friendly, a pleasure to chat with but also giving extremely helpful and providing diligent feedback on my mistakes. Would highly recommend for all levels of Italian, she is the best Italian teacher I have worked with on iTalki!
