Nancy is amazing. My husband and I are very new to learning a language and of an older age. Nancy takes the time to let us stumble through as we work things out. Very helpful in pronunciation for us as we both hear different things. Most of all she is so friendly warm and kind. I am grateful for finding her.

About Nancy Brunetti TeachMeItalian
As a native Italian speaker and experienced ESL instructor with over 20 years in business, I’m truly passionate about what I do. My students often feel like family. I listen carefully, then tailor each lesson to your goals, pace, and learning style—whether you’re studying Italian, English, or both. In our sessions, you’ll not only build strong language skills, but also gain insight into Italian culture. I aim to make every class engaging, supportive, and fun, so you feel confident using the language in real life. I love meeting people from diverse backgrounds and learning from my students as much as they learn from me. If you’re ready for personalized, enjoyable lessons, I’d be happy to work with you.
Reviews
My teenage son will study abroad in Italy next year and Nancy has been a wonderful tutor! So is very warm and helpful. My son will use her until he leaves for Italy. We also appreciate that she offers in person lessons. I would highly recommend Nancy!
I can’t recommend Nancy enough—she’s truly the best. She has this rare ability to make learning Italian feel both easy and genuinely fun. Even as an adult with a full life, I find myself looking forward to every lesson. It feels less like “studying” and more like a hobby I actually enjoy. Nancy goes far beyond vocabulary and grammar. She brings the language to life by weaving in culture, nuance, and the real meaning behind how Italians speak and live. She helps you understand not just what to say, but how to think and feel a little more Italian—which has been incredibly meaningful as I prepare for my move to Italy. È davvero una insegnante eccezionale—paziente, coinvolgente, e sempre attenta a rendere tutto chiaro e naturale. Ogni lezione è un piacere. If you’re looking to not just learn Italian, but to embrace a more Italian way of life, Nancy is the person you want. La consiglio a tutti—especially if you’re chasing a little piece of that dolce vita!!!!
Working with Nancy has been great. She took the time to gauge if we were a good fit and met me where I was at in my journey to learn Italian. Highly recommend her if you want to the language
Nancy is a wonderful teacher! She's everything we could hope for in a language teacher. Learning a language later in life is a humbling process but Nancy is patient, encouraging, and steadfast in working with us (my husband and I take lessons together). Nancy has a good sense of humor but manages to keep us on task. She is easy to schedule with, always on time, and very experienced. Her classes are a good value as well. We tried a group Zoom class though a local language institute before working with a private teacher and it was too difficult balancing all the various questions and levels of learning. We're grateful we found her!
Nancy is a very positive, professional and responsive Italian teacher. I appreciate she is a native Italian speaker. Also she has been very helpful and creative helping me meet my language goals. I highly recommend her as a teacher.
We hired Nancy to help tutor my mom in Italian. Nancy has been nothing less than FABULOUS! We feel so fortunate to have found her. She is so patient and kind and works at whatever pace my mom needs. My mom looks forward to their sessions together every week. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nancy to anyone wanting to build their Italian language skills - whether you're a beginner or much more advanced. She is very talented and a complete pleasure to work with!
Nancy Brunetti is a fantastic tutor. I’m taking weekly lessons with her to become conversational in Italian. The sessions are so helpful! She expertly steers the conversation to different topics, which pushes me to expand my vocabulary and become proficient in mastering Italian grammar, especially verb tenses. When I make a grammar error, she doesn’t merely correct me. Rather, she explains the grammar rules needed to understand her correction so I can avoid repeating that error. On a personal level, Nancy has a good heart and an engaging personality, which makes learning with her not only easy but also very enjoyable!
Nancy is a wonderful teacher! Very patient and good sense of humor -- just what we were looking for.
I’m still a novice, and I want to do this review justice, so scusi on doing the review in English. Nancy has been a complete blessing. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and really customizes teaching you Italian to best fit you. I even have minor dyslexia, and she was still willing to take me on board and work with me. ;) It’s one of my life dreams to visit/live in Italy and Nancy has been tremendously helping me to work towards this. She has made me look forward to Monday’s again. If you want to learn Italian she is your girl! ;)
Great meeting with Nancy. She is what I am looking for in an Italian teacher. She has great experience in all levels of teaching Italian.
