Donatella is great! I engaged Donatella to learn Italian once and for all so this will be a long-term commitment. She is fair and very easygoing. But, she will put you through the necessary steps to learn the language based on your commitment level. There are no shortcuts. Italian Grammar rules can be complicated for English speakers, But, she makes it as easy as possible to understand and speaks to you in a thick Italian accent so you begin to pick up on the pronunciations and mannerisms to mirror the conversation. I'm so glad I came across her and will continue to work with her throughout my studies!

Professor Donatella is pure joy! She is very professional and fun at the same time. She understands what you want to learn and why, and can then customize your lessons to support your ambitions. Learning Italian with a native teacher makes all the difference, she helps us understand the differences between languages, corrects our pronunciation, and makes each class entertaining.

Donatella is a pleasure to work with and has an effective student-centered approach. The material is presented in a clear and concise manner. She also takes the time to explain the cultural responses verse literal dialogue used in practical circumstances. She explained things that were confusing and instead turned them into lightbulb moments! Her way of explaining things totally made sense and I can’t wait to have more sessions! I highly recommend her.
