Marilu is an excellent tutor, you can tell straight away she has a lot of experience teaching the Italian language. She will correct mistakes and find the right exercises to help grasp a concept (and remember it) but at the same time keeping it fun and light-hearted so it it isn’t ever daunting. I would recommend Marilu to anyone wanting to learn Italian.
Thanks
From Michele
Ive booked 10 lessons with Marilu and have found it enjoyable but tough at the same time. Im planning to do 12 to 18 months with her as she has helped me so much in the first month alone. Ive had face to face and online sessions both are very comfortable. If you want to learn proper Italian then look no further. Andiamo
From Katia
Marilu' has been a great help for my daughter in preparation for her Italian GCSE exam. Marilu' has focused on the areas my daughter needed more support on and gave her the confidence to sit her exams and perform at the best of her ability. I would definitely recommend.
I am so happy about that. Bravissima Allegra :)
Thanks a lot Katia
From Patricia
Explains well and detailed, she is also very friendly and helpful.
Thanks :)
From Joseph
Maria is a fantastic teacher and she has really helped me develop my Italian. She always shares useful resources and materials that have enormously helped me develop my fluency and understanding of the language. She also picks up on areas where I might need to improve to make those the areas of focus for a lesson and gives me advice on how to prepare for the following session. She doesn't make me feel bad when I make mistakes, she encourages me to speak up when I don't fully understand something, and the learning environment is always warm, friendly, and supportive. I would definitely recommend Maria to anybody who wants to learn or develop their Italian skills, I couldn't have asked for a better teacher!
Thanks Joe :) You are very kind See you soon Marilú
From Sarah
I have had two lessons so far and I am very happy. Marilu is so thorough and totally includes you on all aspects of the language. She explains everything in detail and makes you feel confident to speak and ask questions I highly recommend her.
Grazie :) see you soon!
From Madeleine
Maria is an excellent tutor that I would recommend highly to anyone looking to learn Italian! After only a few lessons I have improved my language and understanding of the language so much! I highly recommended Maria.
Thanks Madeleine :) it is a pleasure for me to teach those who wish to learn my language and culture and you are BRAVISSIMA :)
From Susan
I have really enjoyed my first 3 lessons. Maria is an excellent tutor. Feel very comfortable with Maria. My confidence is getting better. I look forward to my lessons.
From Rebecca
Marilú is a wonderful tutor. I have previously learned some Italian in online group courses, but I am learning everything so much more quickly with Marilú than I did in those! The lessons are fun and interactive, and I'm gaining much more confidence with my speaking and listening skills in only three lessons. She provides all notes to me after the lesson, so I don't have to focus on writing everything down during the session. She is always friendly and approachable, and deals with the constant bombardments of questions that I throw at her extremely patiently! Grazie mille :)
Grazie Rebecca :)
From stuart
Excellent tutor, first class comms, very professional
Thanks Stuard. See you
From Katie
Maria has provided me with all the support I need for my upcoming exams. She is flexible and her method of teaching works very well for me. Also, she encourages me to include more idioms and such in my work to push myself. Very, very happy with her as my tutor!
Grazie Katie
From Paul
Excellent first lesson with Maria yesterday. Maria is a fantastic teacher and structured things really well allowing me to speak, make mistakes but then spend time giving me great feedback on how to improve. Really looking forward to developing my Italian and progressing. Think I have got really lucky coming across such a great tutor! Grazie mille Maria
Thanks Paul. I am glad you enjoyed it. See you on Wednesday Ciao Marilú
From Stewart
Very friendly and approachable. I am sure that we will get along very well on the evidence of the first lesson.
Grazie Stewart
From Claire
Maria has been a helpful and supportive tutor. My Italian is improving quickly with her. She is very thorough with things like grammar and my confidence has grown.
Grazie Claire :) I really like our lessons and you are super "brava". :)
From Aidan
I've had my first few lessons with Marilu and plan to continue with these for the foreseeable future. Marilu quickly assessed my current level of the Italian language and provides interactive lessons to help with my development. I really enjoy the structure of the online lessons where Marilu uses visuals to bring the content to life. Marilu sends over the lesson material afterwards which means I'm not wasting time in the lesson taking notes. I previously attended a group course for several months but have already learnt more in a few weeks private tutoring with Marilu. I'm really looking forward to learning more of this beautiful language with Marilu as my tutor.
Grazie Aidan I am very happy you enjoy my lessons. I like having motivated people like you are. A presto Marilú
From Yvonne
Maria is helping me a lot to prepare for my university module exams in Italian, her lessons are always really well prepared & they are adapted to fit my needs & goals for Italian. I am really enjoying my lessons with her, the atmosphere is always so friendly & Maria always makes me feel comfortable, I am enjoying the process of learning Italian & I highly recommend Maria as a private tutor!
Thanks a lot Yvonne I really love to teach you Italian. You are a great learner and woman. Your passion for languages is amazing. Grazie :)
From Ella
Marilú is excellent. The lesson was well structured and easy to follow and I felt I learned a lot in the first lesson alone. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons with her.
Grazie Ella. See you soon
From Eve
Marilú is a wonderful, engaging tutor who has helped me build so much more confidence in pronunciation and grammar over the past month since the first lesson. She is incredibly personable, patient and encouraging and so each time is a real joy to begin - especially when there's so much further to go! In short, I couldn't be happier!! Grazie mille Marilú!
Ciao Eve, grazie :)
From Gemma
From Steve
It was an inspiring first lesson, challenging and friendly. Keeping all the chat on Skype is so helpful. I feel I will learn so much and be able to work at my own pace. I really enjoyed this first lesson. Thanks Marilù.
Grazie mille Steve. I am happy to read that. See you soon :) Marilù
From steve
Becky and myself have been doing 2 lessons per week, 7 lessons so far and Maria is engaging, enthusiastic and fun. We are both total beginners and feel that we are progressing each lesson. Highly recommend Maria… Ciao…
Grazie Steve e Becky
From Scott
I thought the first lesson was a great introduction to the language. Maria was very nice, professional, patient and helped guide me to the correct answers. Just booked another set of lessons and feel I like Maria will help me on the way to feeling much more confident with the language!
I will Scott. Thanks for your feedback. See you Marilú
From GERARD
Maria has been excellent since I started learning Italian with her 3 weeks ago. She has been patient and has understood that at 51 its going to be a steep and slow learning curve for me as i haven't studied a language since school. Since then she has put together great lessons in very small bite sized chunks that I can get my head around. I highly recommend Maria
Grazie mille Gerard :)
From David
Great first lesson. Friendly, put me at ease & made the lesson enjoyable with good learning tactics. Thank you
Thanks David I am happy you enjoyed my lesson See you next week
From William
I highly recommend Maria as an excellent Tutor. I’m a beginner and struggle to fit in time for lessons around work, even so Maria makes sure we get the most out of each lesson, with topic building on each other every week along with learning games to help reinforce vocabulary. Maria is both patient and skilled at getting the best out of each lesson, I always feel more confident with each lesson in both reading, writing and listening. Thank you Maria for being such an excellent Tutor.
Grazie Will :) such beautiful words… I am very happy! See you soon Marilù

I really enjoyed this mornings lesson. You gave me plenty of opportunity to speak so you could correct my pronunciation which I badly need! You adapted the lesson to my level as we went along so I wasn’t being taught things I already knew. Really pleased. Grazie mille.
Grazie Elaine. The lesson was really enjoyable. See you on Wednesday
