Native Italian Instructor
My name is Alessia and I am an Italian tutor. I was born and raised near Milan in northern Italy. In 2008 I moved to the United States to be with my husband, who is an active duty Air Force officer.
I have worked for Wyzant before when we were stationed in Colorado Springs.

Testimonials
Melissa S. from Alexandria, VA I found Alessia to be friendly and very patient with me. It was a great first lesson and I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm making flash cards as she suggested and I'm surprised by how much I remember!
Jim V. from Alexandria, VA As a native speaker, Alessia has a complete command of the language, including idioms and everyday expressions. We focus on practicing conversation. She is able to wait for you to express a complete sentence, and will then provide feedback and commentary as needed without interrupting you unnecessarily - which is very important for the student who wants practice in speaking, and seems to be difficult for some teachers to do. She can modulate her speed, sentence structure, and vocabulary as needed to a level appropriate to the student. And she will let you take the lead in the conversation so that you can work on expressing the ideas that you want to express. As an Italiana who has lived in the US for several years, she moves easily between Italian and American English as needed. She has a very relaxed and easygoing manner. Lessons are pleasant conversations, which makes it easy to learn quickly.
