Mara is a great teacher. She explains everything very well, prepares all the classes and gives a big advantage if you want to improve your level of English. For example, I am preparing the TOEFL with her and she is teaching me all the strategies in order to get the highest score. Besides she is a very friendly and a very good person.

Mara is a creative tutor with a real interest in helping you connect to whatever it you want to learn, at whatever pace. She is also quite encouraging, focusing on your strengths, and enthusiastic about your success- no matter how small. I am brushing up on my rusty Italian prior to a trip to Italy, and feel much more comfortable in navigating throughout the country after just one lesson with Mara!
