"Ciao a tutti! My name is Cosetta, and I have been passionately tutoring Italian to university students and adults for 8 years. As a native Italian from Ivrea, a picturesque town nestled in the Alps, I discovered my love for teaching during my time as a TA in the Italian Department at DePauw University, where I spent 4 years honing my skills in one-on-one, small group, and classroom settings. Since graduating, I've continued as a freelance tutor in both Italian and English as a second language.

While my academic focus lies in music, particularly opera, I derive immense satisfaction from sharing my native language with eager learners and those striving to improve their grades. Learning a language should be FUN; I like to infuse elements of pop culture and contemporary language trends into my teaching approach. Having studied Latin, French, and German, I understand the challenges of language acquisition firsthand; my goal is to equip my students with effective techniques for memorizing vocabulary, mastering grammar, and enhancing their reading skills." less...
