CIAO,

SONO MARA!

I help you improve your Italian with the ITA method: Interactive Transformative Authentic

ABOUT ME

I grew up bilingual, learning Italian and Spanish from the time I was born This good fortune has given me an endless curiosity for world languages and cultures.

Since 2014, my home has been Switzerland, where I passionately pursue teaching Italian. In every lesson, I teach not only linguistic knowledge, but also a love of culture. 

For me, teaching is not just a job, it is a journey that I travel together with my students, discovering something new every day.

How Improve Your Italian

Improve Your Italian was born out of a desire to share my teaching method that I experienced myself when I moved to Switzerland and had to learn German.

What my students say about me

Mara ci dà lezioni varie e giocose e anche la grammatica è divertente. Impariamo in un piccolo gruppo e Mara si adatta alle diverse capacità di ognuno di noi. Sceglie sempre argomenti interessanti e ci insegna la lingua con una buona base teorica, in modo che possiamo usarla nella vita quotidiana.

Annemarie Rusch

In his Italian lessons, Mara, it puts more emphasis on interactive work with our students. The discussions about a variety of topics to allow you to learn and actively use the language. The themes chosen are interesting, current, and perfectly in line with the objectives of the lessons (grammar, vocabulary). In this way, also approaches the society, the economy and the Italian culture. I am proud of the good progress that I have made in the Italian language.

The lessons of Mara are very fun because it motivates us with his friendly and makes the lessons fun. It is also nice when you realize that you make rapid progress thanks to his lessons, and that many things become easier. This shows in the quality of his teaching. I can recommend Mara to anyone who wants to have fun while learning languages and make progress.

Learn Italian with Mara is a real pleasure. Able to respond flexibly to individual needs, taking into account not only the general level of the language, but also the state of mind of the students. If you happen to not be very motivated or feeling frustrated, Mara is capable of risollevarti the moral with confidence and language games fun. Mara is recommended to anyone who loves Italian and want to make progress at any level you are.
