I'm so grateful that I've learned Italian with Giada since I arrived in Rome. From the very first class, Giada customized a lesson to my interests, work topics, and my goals. What I appreciate is how she takes the time to understand her students first and then goes above and beyond to personalize the lessons to her students' skills, curiosities, and passions. She is proactive, compassionate, brilliant, and so helpful. If you want to learn Italian from the best, learn from Giada.
