Who I am

I grew up bilingual learning Spanish and Italian, I was very lucky because I could expand my horizons into other languages and cultures since childhood. Since 2014 I have been living in Switzerland.

What my students say:

Mara gives us varied and playful lessons and even the grammar is fun. We learn in a small group and Mara adapts to the different abilities of each of us. She always chooses exciting topics and teaches us the language with a good theoretical basis so that we can use it in everyday life.

Mara teaches me her mother tongue with great joy and commitment, and the lessons are always very varied and entertaining. She also always has tips and tricks so that I am always motivated to learn something new. Whether it's via Zoom or on site, Mara is always well prepared and professional. I have been taking lessons with her in a group of three for almost 2 years now. I simply enjoy learning with her!

Sono felice di raccomandare Mara Sangoi come docente di italiano competente e molto impegnata! Nelle sue lezioni di italiano, pone sempre l'accento sul lavoro interattivo con noi studenti. Le discussioni su diversi argomenti permettono di imparare e utilizzare attivamente la lingua. I temi scelti sono appassionanti, attuali e perfettamente in linea con gli obiettivi delle lezioni (grammatica, vocabolario). In questo modo, avvicina anche la società, l'economia e la cultura italiana. Sono orgogliosa dei buoni progressi che ho fatto nella lingua italiana. Non vedo l'ora di seguire le prossime lezioni con Mara!

We are already in our third year studying Italian with Mara and we are still enthusiastic. There is no dry grammar with Mara, the grammar is lively and exciting. She cleverly knows how to make us speak with conversation exercises and how to apply the grammar we have learned. The texts, exercises and topics are interesting and varied and we discuss also about politics or current news. Mara's lessons are great fun because she motivates us with her friendly manner and makes the lessons entertaining. It is also great when you notice that you are making rapid progress thanks to the great lessons and that many things become easier. This shows the quality of her teaching. I can recommend Mara to anyone who wants to have fun learning languages and make progress. I will certainly stay with her and I am already looking forward to the next lesson.
