Oxford DPhil student, Italian native speaker - Italian tutor with Mariachiara

Mariachiara is an excellent teacher of the Italian language. I was already at an intermediate level but Mariachiara has immediately spot my knowledge gaps and has customised the teaching material to match my needs. Within a month she managed to turn me into an eloquent speaker of Italian for a business orientated environment. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants to learn Italian as she is an exceptional professional, with a solid literature and teaching related background and she knows how to approach each individual and their specific needs. The lessons have been very enjoyable and interesting.

Mariachiara hasn't worked for me as a tutor, but I'm sure she will be a very good one: she's enthusiastic, kind, patient and very bright. She's been working as a volunteer intern in an image library I'm in charge of, uploading digital photos of works of art into an online database. She had no training in art history, but she quickly learned on the job, and we've been very happy with her work: she's precise and industrious and committed to the task. And she's also a very pleasant colleague to work with each day, always friendly, cheerful and obliging. Her native language is Italian, but after three years of studying English literature at university here, her English is completely fluent. Someone it’s a pleasure to recommend.

Mariachiara has worked as an intern in my department for the past 7 months. She has had to learn a new database system and a new subject (iconography) and has mastered both in record time. She is clearly intelligent, adaptable and hard-working; she is also kind, patient and precise, all of which are important qualities in a tutor.
