Chiara CELI examiner

Chiara was able to quickly gauge my current abilities in the language and design targeted lessons to accommodate my learning needs. As I have an upcoming trip to Italy we focused on commutation and understanding how to read and speak in the situations I will most likely come across during my vacation. We practice with text, with fill in the blanks, with no text present (memory) and she gives me homework to study and prepare. After my trip, we will be focusing more on structure and grammar so that I can continue to work on moving up levels as I hope to take another CILS exam. I feel confident in our sessions and our progress, and will continue to work with and recommend Chiara to other students.

Chiara is an exceptional teacher. I am trying to improve my Italian quickly in preparation for an exam and have committed to a regular course of study with Chiara. I had studied Italian for roughly a year and a half but not very seriously. I had an inconsistent grammatical foundation. Chiara correctly identified my level and gaps in my knowledge and has devised a course of study tailored to my learning goals. I enjoy my lessons with Chiara enormously. She’s diligent and thorough and maintains a quick pace, but makes the learning process feel fun. We usually meet for an hour and the lesson flies by. She is clear and correct my errors in a way that leaves me feeling encouraged and confident that I can continue to improve. I have made tremendous progress in a short period of time thanks to her support. I trust completely that with her help I will be able to take and pass this exam.

Chiara is the perfect professor if you are serious about your language journey. She is extremely attentive to detail in regards to both grammar and conversation issues that a student might have. Besides that, if you want to prepare for an exam such as the PLIDA or CILS she is more than willing to delineate a plan ( in a reasonable time frame of course ) to achieve your desire goal in the Italian language.

tutto perfetto ¡¡

Per prima cosa: grazie mille della lezione e degli consigli su dove andare in Italia! Poi, mi chiedo, ma puoi mai perdonarmi di non aver fatto più lezioni con te ultimamente? Sei stata il clou della mia serata, divertimento puro. tvb --Jouko

I just finished my second lesson with Chiara and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an Italian teacher! She was patient and provided me with concrete feedback and comes prepared with interesting topics to talk about. Thanks Chiara!
