Italian, English ESL Educator: Enthusiastic, Patient, and Effective!

Ciao! I was born in Italy and I am fluent in the language. On coming to the US, I received an Education degree in ITALIAN and ENGLISH (TESOL certification). I have professional experience and enjoy teaching all aspects of each of the two languages, from grammar structures to literature. I implement all learning styles in my lessons, which are planned around the needs, strengths, and interests of each student. It is important for me to motivate the student and help him or her to connect wi...

If you are trying to decide which tutor is best for you, I highly recommend Caterina. Caterina is a very competent and effective tutor. She brings her culture, understanding and knowledge of the Italian language into every lesson. She is always punctual, prepared and professional. You will learn to understand and speak the Italian language in a stress free environment. Mipiace Caterina!


Zach C. from Hamden, CT

Caterina is a great tutor and has really helped improve my grade in Italian. I would highly recommend her. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient.


Christine S. from Guilford, CT

Caterina is always very patient, encouraging, and understanding during our lessons. She makes a point of speaking only Italian (with some small exceptions) during our lessons. I feel very comfortable with her and am learning a lot. She explains things very well without going above my level.


Stacey E. from Wallingford, CT

Caterina was by far the best tutor. Her accommodating personality made the sessions a pleasure. I would recommend her highly.


Liliana B. from Budd Lake, NJ

She is a pleasant person. Very organized and focused when it comes to the objectives she wants to meet in her lessons. She is a native speaker and speaks the language properly and correct. She is great at assessing your level and adjusting her lessons accordingly. She is also very patient and makes all her lessons fun. Love how she leaves me homework every week and remembers to go over it with me in our next lesson. She is definitely professional, yet enjoys teaching.


Tony L. from Branford, CT

After only two weeks, I can already tell that Caterina is the type of tutor I needed in order to begin speaking Italian more fluently. Caterina places emphasis on actually speaking and thinking in Italian, and blending in the grammatical instruction when necessary. I wholeheartedly recommend her to those considering the study of Italian at any level.

Susan C. from Orange, CT

Caterina uses a multi-faceted approach including visual aids, written homework (a very reasonable amount!), speaking Italian slowly for my understanding. I could not be more pleased.


Huitaek Y. from New Haven, CT

I've been studied with Caterina almost for an year. She helped me to practice English speaking skills like pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluidity. Highly recommended to foreign speakers who have English as 2nd language.


Catharine M. from Hamden, CT

Caterina spent time evaluating my current level of Italian, and she was clear about the level of effort I would need to achieve my goal. I felt immediately comfortable with her.


Yifang L. from New Haven, CT

This lesson was wonderful. She helped me practice my pronunciation again and again, and patiently corrected my wrong pronunciation in detail. I believe I can make progress through her lessons and the video she sent to me.


PATRICIA D. from Branford, CT

Caterina has inspired my High School age student to learn to speak Italian. He looks forward to his weekly sessions and has dramatically improved his success in his Italian class at school. Caterina is awesome! Reliable and really is interested in seeing her students achieve success.


Tonie T. from Malibu, CA

Caterina's classes are so much fun! She definitely makes learning Italiano a pleasure. She is very encouraging and prepares the classes ahead of time, to focus on your individual needs. I am sure by the time I leave for Italy, I will be able to converse with the locals, thanks to Caterina. Grazie!
