Testimonials
Annarita is an incredible Italian teacher! Not only is she highly qualified but she is also very down to earth, patient, kind, professional and committed. She truly wants you succeed and makes you feel very comfortable when you make mistakes or struggle with a grammar topic. Her learning style is encouraging, supportive and confidence boosting - I love Italian even more learning with her!
Louise, England
I have been taking lessons with Professor Saggion for two years now. This has been the best language learning experience that I’ve had. When I started, I had taken a semester of Italian at my old university, but I was very rusty and only able to say about three different things. Now, I’m able to speak Italian and express myself in the language in a way that has never happened for me before. I’m a PhD student studying opera so it’s very important to me to cover music as well, and she found books that would incorporate opera into our lessons. I really recommend this teacher if you want to reach your language learning goals in a professional and motivational environment!

Annarita is the best teacher ever! She is diligent, encouraging and responsive, with high standards and a joyful passion for Italian culture that makes every lesson a pleasure. After starting my lessons as a total beginner with her, I’m now ready to take the CILS B1 Cittadinanza exam. I can also speak with my Italian friends, enjoy Italian cinema and literature, and follow Italian current affairs, and I’m motivated to continue learning far beyond the exam. On our journey together, through her amazing teaching, Annarita has given me a thorough grounding in the language, but she has also given me so much more: the gift of being able to experience Italian culture to the full. A gift for life! Grazie infinite Annarita

I will never get tired of saying that Annarita is a perfect teacher and I strongly recommend her to everybody who wants to see significant improvements in their level positive results in CILS. She is very professional and kind. She knows what to do and how to help you.
Tahmina, Azerbaigian
I will strongly recommend Professor Saggion to who has the willingness of studying Latin or has the requirements on language study which may refer to ancient languages. In her classes, I can learn a lot deeply in Latin because we use the newest textbook. Besides, when I have some academic questions refer to Latin, she patiently explains and discusses with me.
Libby, Hong Kong
I would recommend Prof.ssa Annarita to anyone - she is able to explain the finer points of Italian grammar in a way I can easily understand, provides a record of any words/grammar points/idioms that were new in a lesson so I can easily review them. Really friendly, and really patient. Thank you!
Jamie, UK
Professor Annarita is absolutely wonderful. The structure of her lessons plans are so easy to follow along, and she covers each topic step by step in a slow and gentle pace that anyone can follow. I had a lot of stress when originally deciding to learn Italian, however within the first class that I took with Annarita, I realized with a teach like herself guiding the lessons, learning will be easy and accessible for me!
Deanna, USA
La prof.ssa Annarita è molto preparata e sa insegnare bene e con pazienza. Guida lo studente e spiega gli aspetti grammaticali senza appesantire la lezione. Un esempio di serietà accademica.
Luca, Italia

Adi, Israel
Ho appena finito la mia ultima lezione con Annarita ed è stata, come sempre, una bellissima opportunità per potenziare il mio livello, imparare nuovi vocaboli e strutture. Ci siamo preparati per il mio esame CILS C2 e mi sento molto più sicuro rispetto a prima di studiare con lei. La sua familiarità con i criteri di valutazione dell'esame e il suo approccio didattico sono strumenti preziosissimi per chiunque voglia affrontare questa sfida. Inoltre, è simpaticissima, quindi è davvero un'insegnante di primissima qualità!
Rodrigo, Brazil
Non penso che ci sia il bisogno di scrivere quanto è in gamba Annarita. Non basteranno le parole. Mi ha aiutato a raggiungere il livello C1, e superato l'esame CILS!
Masha, Uzbekistan
Annarita has been an exceptional teacher. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with her to prepare for my CILS B1 Cittadinanza exam. She is extremely knowledgeable and is an excellent teacher. She always corrects homework exercises on time and is both encouraging and supportive. I would definitely recommend her.
Sue, Canada
I really enjoy the classes with Annarita. She is always well-prepared and she structures the lessons in a way that builds my self-confidence. When she corrects my work or my verbal communication, she does it with finesse. I really appreciate her clear, yet gentle teaching approach.
Gia, USA
Annarita always comes prepared for the lesson. She gives me lots of opportunities to practice speaking and listening to Italian, and we also managed to squeeze in a new subject. I feel like I'm learning so much, and I'm enjoying myself a lot as well!
Adele, Sweden
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANNARITA. She is patient, she speaks at a speed you can understand, and she is VERY organized. After only the 2nd lesson, I feel that I will definitely be ready for the exam. Our lesson goes by so fast because I truly enjoy learning from her. I can't recommend her enough. I am sure if you choose her as your teacher, you won't regret it.
Sarah, USA
I've been learning Italian with Anaritta, and I couldn't be happier with my progress! She is incredibly kind, patient, and engaging. She challenges me to learn and pushes me to improve in the best ways. She creates a safe environment where I feel comfortable practicing and making mistakes. Her explanations are always thorough and clear, especially when explaining the intricacies of the language. Lei e` una buona insegnante!
Anthony, USA
Annarita è davvero un'insegnante speciale! A couple of months ago, I told Annarita about my work trip to Italy, which would last several months, and my need to learn Italian quickly while being unable to afford many lessons. Having just returned from Italy, I can say that in fewer than 10 lessons, I can understand and speak Italian very well. Annarita provided me with the right exercises, books, and podcasts that helped me make the fastest progress. Grazie mille!
Lior, Israel
Sono stata molto fortunata di aver trovato Annarita. Abbiamo fatto un lungo percorso. Adesso mi sento totalmente pronta per l'esame. Abbiamo avuto la nostra ultima lezione prima dell'esame. Voglio ringraziare moltissimo Annarita. È molto professionale e paziente. Grazie per tutto!
Ingrid, Austria
Annarita is a perfect teacher, or I would say a real Teacher. I am always happy to have lessons with her. She is an excellent teacher and an amazing person. it is really easy to work with her. My Italian level has increased significantly. At first I was a bit worried since the exam is less than in 1 month. But now I am calm enough, because I can see my results. After the exam I will miss the lessons with Annarita.
Sally, Australia
I always really enjoy my lessons with Annarita! She is a very experienced teacher, and she has prepared a thorough course for me to reach my goals with plenty of natural speaking practice along the way, as well as time spent on important grammar, which is always clearly explained and easy to understand. The lessons are fun and focused and I’ve already improved so much, grazie Annarita!
David, Ireland
Excellent as always -- Annarita is superb, focused on improving my abilities in the language.
Dan, USA
Annarita è gentile e chiara. Parlare e studiare con lei è un vero piacere. Se dovesse continuare ad avere lezioni di italiano farei un altro corso con lei!
Irene, Spain
Annarita is an amazing teacher and has been so helpful in my preparation for my Italian certification exams.
Boris, New Zealand
Sono veramente contenta. Ho imparato molto e ora sono più preparato per eventuali colloqui di lavoro. Anna Rita era un grande aiuto! Mi ha mostrato esattamente quali formulazioni dovrei migliorare e mi ha anche dato molti preziosi consigli riguardo ai contenuti. Posso raccomandarla pienamente.
Juliane, Switzerland
What a wonderful teacher Annarita is! Her lessons are always engaging, she arrives prepared with suitable materials, encourages me and guides me through learning patiently and pleasantly. I feel like I'm learning a lot in each lesson, and they're so much fun!
Anna, Israel
I did a series of lessons with Professoressa Annarita to prepare for the CILS B1 Cittadinanza exam. Her teaching skills are beyond comparison and she speaks perfectly and clearly. I went from being reluctant to speak Italian due to fear of making mistakes to anxiety-free on the day of the exam. Her virtual classroom is a relaxing and engaging environment, and she is always willing to exchange emails to answer questions that arise outside of the scheduled lesson period. I recommend her without hesitation.
Jennifer, USA
I do not know what to write about Annarita, because the words would be so few to describe her as a teacher. She is PERFECT! Any student having a teacher like her is a happy student.
Stephanie, Switzerland
Mit Annarita habe ich in kurzer Zeit grosse Fortschritte gemacht.
Ulrike, Germany
Annarita is very thorough in her coverage of a topic. The homework, i compiti, is an essential part of the process and I am finding it to be a very effective element. Also being encouraged out of my comfort zone with conversation is good. Unfortunately, just when my synapses are finally being loosened up, the lesson ends! Questa è la vita - ma grazie mille Annarita!
Martin, UK
Annarita has been a wonderful teacher! She puts so much energy into preparing for each class, supports with notes, live activities, great lessons, reviews homework and provides edits ahead of time. She is overall a lovely person to work with. She is patient, kind, and brings a beautiful energy to her lessons with you. I will continue to work with Annarita through my Italian learning journey. Thank you, Annarita!
Marina, USA
Mi raccomando, prenota una lezione con Annarita! È una bravissima insegnante: sempre organizzatissima, un'attrice di talento (molto utile per praticare la produzione orale per il CILS!), e molto attenta alle sfumature della lingua.
Lily, Australia
I always enjoy being in a class with Annarita. We delve into thought-provoking topics for discussion, and she handles different issues with great sensitivity. Annarita's profound erudition is truly commendable!
Naomi, Israel
I absolutely love my lessons with Annarita! They are not only fun, but she makes me feel relaxed while I'm speaking and I can already tell after a few weeks that my Italian is improving tremendously! She is an absolute delite!
Cali, USA
Annarita is a wonderful Italian teacher, and I've had the opportunity to learn from many! She demonstrates utmost professionalism, has great teaching methods and always finds intriguing reading materials. Studying with Annarita is a delight, as we explore Italian literature and engage in discussions on various topics. Over the past year, my experience of studying with Annarita has been truly fulfilling, constantly revealing new aspects of the Italian language I had never encountered before. Grazie!
Liza, Germany
Annarita è una bravissima insegnante: molto paziente, professionale, è sempre preparatissima. Inoltre, parla con tanta eleganza, usando parole e frasi complesse e belle - una cosa rara ma importante per studenti avanzati! Mi sento sempre più a mio agio nella lingua italiana grazie a lei
Melissa, Australia
Annarita è una bravissima insegnante: professionale, organizzata, e molto istruita su argomenti complessi legati alla grammatica. Sa spiegare tutto in modo molto naturale e chiaro: un'abilità abbastanza rara, direi! Grazie mille ed a presto :)
Silvia, Italia
I have enjoyed my lessons with Annarita for years and she has helped me immensely with deepening my appreciation for the Italian language. She provides sensitive and wide-ranging responses to my questions and always leads an informed, entertaining discussion.
Edward, USA
Annarita has been a fantastic teacher guiding me through my preparation for my CILS B1 Cittadinanza exam. The one-on-one time has been much more helpful than I could have ever hoped for and I finished my course of lessons fully prepared for what lies ahead in the exam hall. Grazie mille, Annarita!
Steven, UK
Non posso credere quanto ho imparato con Annarita. Oggi leggiamo Italo Calvino - la lingua e' bellissima e lavorando insieme posso capire tutto. Grazie come sempre
Mary, USA
La profesora ha sido muy clara con las pautas de trabajo. Es muy respetuosa y me alienta a seguir siendo curiosa. Muy contenta!
Carolina, Argentina
Annarita is the best! She adapts her lessons to fit my needs. She is cheerful and sunny. She encourages me, which gives me confidence. She laughs along with me during lessons, but manages to fit a ton of material into one session. I have a lot of fun. Highly recommend
Rosa, USA
Annarita always selects such wonderfully authentic texts that are at the same time great occasions to review previously discussed grammar points! Challenging and eye-opening at the same time. Thank you as always!!
Janice, China
Mi piace molto parlare con professoressa Annarita. Lei mi aiuta sempre. Mi corregge quando ho fatto un errore e mi fa vedere la strada giusta.
Denis, Turkey
A hundred classes in and I only wish Annarita were available in every language on earth...
Christina, USA
Abbiamo continuato a studiare Congiuntivo presente. Mi sento come se fossimo entrati in un vero italiano. Mi piace molto imparare cose nuove e Annarita è molto forte nello spiegare cose complesse in modo semplice. Quindi, credo che abbiamo superato tutte le difficoltà: più vado a fondo più mi piace la lingua italiana con tutta la sua forza e ricchezza!
Irina, Russia
Annarita is not only an amazing teacher but also one of the nicest people I've ever met. She is always positive, kind and supportive. Learning Italian with her is a very interesting and inspiring experience. I always enjoy our lessons a lot.
Julia, Russia
Annarita is a teacher who possesses that rare combination of inspiring me while striving for excellence. She is extremely patient and well organized; she leads her lessons with great material to reinforce grammar and build vocabulary, but also takes time to develop a flowing conversation that often includes valuable insights into the language culture.
At moments when I felt discouraged, Annarita cheered me on. I have learned so much with her and look forward to every lesson.
Mariann, USA
Great session, as usual! I've been studying with Annarita and with every lesson I can confirm that she does her job in an excellent and passionate way. She understands my learning needs very well and she is always ready to explain any rules that are unclear to me. Without a doubt, she is an exceptional teacher, always prepared and excels at breaking down grammar notes, and is a great resource for developing efficient study habits.If you’re looking for somebody who’s remarkably professional and able to combine a meticulous study of the language with a joyous and relaxed atmosphere, don’t hesitate to contact her!
Veronika, Germany
Annarita was the whole package! She was warm and encouraging, which made me feel at ease and able to speak at my full potential without feeling pressured or nervous. If you're serious about learning Italian, or are looking for both a high quality and highly qualified teacher with an organised lesson structure, she's the one :) I went away feeling like I got so much out of the lesson in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and conversation practice. I received actionable feedback on how to better express myself and phrase my sentences. I'd highly recommend a 1 hour lesson with Annarita to reap all the benefits. Grazie mille :)
Carol, Australia
I've missed my lessons with Annarita over the short break I've had. Annarita is very professional and also creates a friendly environment in the lessons.
She is a patient and calm teacher, which really helps me learn a lot as I feel at ease while learning. I like her teaching methods and how she organises the notes for me during the lesson. In my experience most teachers don't do this and this is extremely valuable to me as a student. She also keeps an eye on my progress and brings interesting materials to the lessons. Grazie, Annarita!
Viki, Hungary
I always have an excellent experience with Annarita. She explains things very clearly, always adapts to the pace and requirements of the student. She can pick up on her students' needs very quickly. Lessons are always efficient and rich. Now we are on lesson 20. 20 lessons ago, I could not speak Italian at all! Now however I have hardly any problem speaking Italian in daily/basic conversations. I believe my lessons with Annarita have played a very very important role in improving my Italian. Without a doubt, Annarita is one of the best teachers I have encountered in my life! I’m very excited to continue working with Annarita until I become fluent.
Maria, Poland
I just had another fantastic class with Annarita. What a skillfull teacher she is! Annarita always join the class super prepared and her ability to redirect it to my personal needs amaze me. She is able to transform complex rules into something approachable, logical and fun! In just a few of weeks I have had an astronomical growth of the Italian gramma . It is really encouraging to realize how much I can actually understand with just a few classes and I couldn't have done without her guidance and help. Thank you so much Annarita!
Juliana, Brazil
Annarita is so encouraging and is really attentive to my way of learning. She is really helping me to grow my vocabulary and understanding of the language rules. She gives the necessary time to the lesson we are on and helping me to fully understand it. She makes sure I’m ready to move on to the next lesson. I really enjoy my lessons, the hour that we spend together goes by super fast! She leaves me wanting to learn more and improve my skills. Thank you Annarita!
Heather, USA
Classes with Annarita are bursting with insights. I always have so many "ah-ha" moments and random epiphanies everywhere. Annarita has the inexplicable magic to lead you just the right direction, leave enough blank for you to think independently, then pick up your hands and guide you the right way again when needed. I love my classes with Annarita. She's a gem!!!
Janice, China
Great lesson today. We had good conversational practice and it was the most confident I felt with speaking so far! We worked on the nuances of reflexive verbs, which make thing much more clear to me. She also provided me we some great resources to expose myself more to the language. Thanks for a great lesson!
Michael, USA
Annarita is a great teacher. I am very happy that I found her. Lessons are always productive and interesting. By doing exercises, that Annarita gives to me, I learn new words easily, without spending much time on trying to remember them. Today I was doing a small dialog and I was using words and questions that I learned on previous lessons 3 weeks or even month ago. It was very nice to notice that I still remember many of them, without repeating for a long time. Grazie Annarita!
Elizaveta, Russia
I'm really happy with my lessons with Annarita. She is very encouraging, patient and friendly, but still precise and challenging. She prepares the lessons thoroughly so each session is efficient, and her contextual knowledge of the materials is equally valuable.
Sarah, England
Really seeing some great progression, a lot is starting to click for me and it would not be possible without Annarita! MILLE MILLE GRAZIE!!
Steve, USA
Great lesson. We did a valuable recap of andare/venire and indicative/subjunctive after certain connective words. Annarita always supplies an excellent written summary of the lesson so I can go back over key points, the errors I made, and the topics we discussed. I recommend her highly.
Ed, USA
Я всегда буду благодарна Аннарите за то, как грамотно я говорю по-итальянски, за моё произношение и за то, как легко и интересно мне было изучать этот красивейший язык. Я помню наш первый урок, я тогда знала только слово "чао". Уже через месяц я рассказывала своим японским соседям как приготовить борщ, а спустя ещё несколько месяцев я прошла собеседование и поступила в итальянский университет. Аннарита не просто большой профессионал, это человек, который любит своё дело и вкладывает в него душу.
Elena, Kazakistan
Excellent -- Annarita prepared a discussion that was tailored to my professional needs, and reviewed my grammatical problems.
Timothy, USA
Superlativ reichen nicht. Anfangs war ich skeptisch: zu viele Online Lehrer hatte nur durch nicht eingehaltene Versprechungen geglänzt - anders Annarita: ihr ansteckend fröhlich und lebhaftes Wesen, gepaart mit ihrem profunden Wissen, der unglaublichen Empathie und sozialen Intelligenz auch schwer zu vermittelnde Dinge einfach und verständlich darzustellen, machen sie -das kann ich ohne Zweifel sagen-nicht nur zur besten Lehrerin, die ich hatte, sondern viel wichtiger, zur Lehrerin, bei der ich am meisten und schnellsten gelernt habe. Vielen Dank Prof!
Daniel, Germany
Annarita has a wide knowledge not only of the Latin grammar, but also of the historical and cultural context. Every time we read and translate a text, she provides me with useful information about the context so that my comprehension gets deeper. I highly recommend her if you are looking to a very well prepared Latin teacher!
Fabio, Spain
Annarita was excellent and very helpful. We covered so much in a very short amount of time. She was consice, extremely well prepared asked a lot of questions and had a plan of action. I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson and can’t wait till my next lesson.
Martina, Mexico
Prof. Annarita was very organized and really honed our objectives. She is friendly, open minded, easy going and definitely has a lot of experience in language teaching.
