Anyone interested in learning a new language and about a new culture has finally found the right teacher! I first learned to speak Italian when I spent a college semester in Siena. After returning home, I hadn’t used my Italian in many years. As my passion for all things Italian (particularly those related to anything from Siena) never left me, I decided to study the language once again. I worked with teachers in classroom settings, reviewing grammar and vocabulary. Those lessons did nothing to inspire or cultivate my interest. I was fortunate enough to meet Chiara and began my lessons with her. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her, as a teacher and as a person I am lucky enough to know. Her passion for language and culture is contagious. Her approach to learning is totally experiential. She provides personalized custom lessons for each of her students. If you study with Chiara, the world around you, becomes your classroom.
