My name is Fabiana Papaleoni and I am an Italian and Latin languages teacher and tutor.I grew up in in Italy where I graduated in Italian Language and Literature at the Universita’ di Lettere e Filosofia in Parma. Simultaneously, I pursued violin performance and music studies at the Conservatorio di Musica “Arrigo Boito” in Parma.I work as Adjunct Lecturer at the University of New Haven CT and I am currently an Italian Teacher at the AUX 3 POMMES, LLC Foreign Language School in Guilford and I work as Per Diem Substitute Teacher at the Guilford Public Schools. I offer Italian language courses, private lessons, book clubs and seminars about Italian Art, Music and Literature. I also offer private assistance to costumers in organizing trips to Italy. I design and develop each student’s program based on their goals, level, and interests, with the help of a variety of materials. I personally create presentations and handouts, and I get support from printed books as well as online digital resources after I assess their value for the course. The use of technology is an essential tool in teaching a foreign language, and I rely on websites that offer a vast range of language exercises and games, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and music, often easy and free to use, that can help efficiently with the progress of the learning, meet the student’s interests, and provide some entertainment. I offer my lessons in person as well as online, being aware of the invaluable advantages of distance learning.

Really enjoyed the class. Got a foundation for italian grammar I could not learn via apps. Fabiana makes you feel welcome and is encouraging.

Ciao Julia, thank you for being such an kind and dedicated student in class and for sharing your wonderful experiences in Italy and your love and passion for its culture and beauty! I really enjoyed teaching to you all! Grazie e a presto!
I liked the pace of the course and having it on zoom was so convenient. I enjoyed the pronunciation exercises. That was really helpful the time slot for lessons was wonderful. I was going to sign up for course 2 (I was late doing it) but I was back and forth since 7 is a more difficult time slot for me. I would love to see a cooking course on zoom but I honestly can’t think of how that would work.

The instructor speaks clearly and gives clear explanations. She mixes study of grammatical elements with interesting videos and diagrams. She is positive and encouraging in her interactions with students. The course is both fun and instructive.
