Reference from Maria Fontana's former professor Valerio Fissore
Maria Fontana was my student for the two years of her MA course in Translation at the University of Turin, Italy. She was a constant contributor to the development of my lessons with her stimulating questions and suggestions. My course spanned literary and non-literary translation theory and practice. Maria was at all times constant in her application and very determined to aim high in her goals and achievements. I was aware she wanted to be a teacher, not only because she told me, but also because she had (she has) the gift of being systematic in approaching and solving problems from different angles.
Subject:
English Language
Outcome:
Maria scored top marks in my exams (which consisted in tackling texts towards translating them, at the same time showing command of theory and methodology)

My daughter has become more confident with listening and reading and her grades have gone up. Maria is reliable, punctual, knowledgeable and very passionate about teaching - I am so glad we have found her and would happily recommend her for tutoring

motivated tutor with great lesson plans
Maria is such a great tutor! She corrects you kindly when you make mistakes, and she explains differences between word choices that seem similar. Also, I was asking her to tailor the content for me to make it more related to science/medicine, and she found appropriate texts at my level, and worked hard preparing useful words and phrases to learn and integrate into my vocabulary. Highly recommended.
Outcome:
enjoyed my lessons!
