Happy Clients and Students

“We thoroughly enjoy our Italian tutoring sessions with Marisa. She's a delight to work with and enthusiastic about our progress each week. Marisa always keeps the conversation going; it certainly doesn't feel like work.”

-Jessica and Douglas, New York City

“Studio con Marisa da tre anni. Ho iniziato le lezioni un anno primo di andare a vivere in Italia per 8 mesi. Secondo me le lezioni con Marisa hanno reso il mio soggiorno molto meglio. Sono in grado di avere una conversazione con persone di madrelingua. Brava Marisa e grazie per tutti!”

-Barry, New York City

“I am a 74 year old retiree who has recently begun to offer pro bono legal representation to Spanish speaking refugees and asylum seekers. My high school Spanish skills are not sufficient to understand my new clients and provide them with effective representation. I tried on-line language apps but they quickly get boring and are easily forgotten. I recently hired Marisa Tesauro for one-on-one Spanish improvement through dialogue and I am finding immediate improvement. She is demanding but both fair and fun which motivates me to want to learn.”

“I’ve been studying Italian with Marisa for about three years. She is a patient and thoughtful teacher who is always aware of where I need practice, explanation or just more encouragement. But above all, Marisa is a master of the intricacies of her native language; the grammar, subtleties and colloquialisms of the language. I’ve learned so much from Marisa and I will continue to do so.”
