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.

I am happy to recommend Mara Sangoi as a teacher of Italian as a competent and very busy! In his Italian lessons, 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. I can't wait to follow the next lessons with Mara!

We are already in the third year of study of Italian with Mara and we are still excited. Mara there is a grammar arid, the grammar is lively and exciting. Knows how to skillfully as us talking with some speaking exercises and how to apply the grammar that we learned. The texts, exercises, and the topics are interesting and varied, we also discuss politics or current events. 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.

Learning Italian with Mara is a real pleasure. She can meet individual needs in a flexible manner, taking into account not only the general level of the language but also the mood of her students. If you happen to be not very motivated or feel frustrated, Mara is able to lift your mood with confidence and fun language games. If there are current articles or contributions in Italian that she knows you might be interested in, Mara finds them and uses them for a lesson. Each lesson is unique, always well prepared, but at the same time Mara is always ready to face the unexpected with openness and spontaneity. Mara is recommended for anyone who loves Italian and wants to make progress at whatever level they are at.

I have been studying with Mara for a year and a half. First in the on-site classroom, and now for more than half a year in a small online group. No matter where, Mara always manages to motivate us, get us talking and make the lessons so varied and fun that they go by in a flash. For me, Mara is the perfect teacher. A big thank you for your work with us so far!
