About

Singing Italian opera since age 14, I found my voice and home in Italian language and culture. I attained fluency through taking all levels (1-6 + upper division courses) at UCLA; in an intensive language program in Camerino, Italy; and through living abroad in Bologna, Italy for one year taking my Psychology and Italian cultural classes (Dante Alighieri literature, History of Italian Food, and Italian Opera) all in Italian with oral exams. Further, I have performed with Italian choral groups.

In 2016, I started an Italian language school in California. I have taught hundreds of students through group classes (from Basics to Advanced Grammar/Conversation) and individual and family lessons. I currently teach all my students online, integrating the most efficient and effective methods from all of my Italian immersion experiences. I’m confident that it is possible to attain fluency with the right approach. My passion is to connect with others through languages and music, and I would be delighted to help you do the same.

Watching my students gain confidence and joy in learning a language that they hold close to their hearts.

    Ciao Tutti!
    I loved everything about my classes with Missy!!! I have worked for two years (on and off), and possibly longer, with Immerse Italia. I am in Rome right now writing this review, and using much of what I learned! I travel to Italy twice a year, and my lessons helped me converse with my Italian friends, order comfortably in restaurants, and small chats while out in the city. I am someone who enjoys diversity, and hands on learning and Missys classes offered many different styles of teaching interspersed throughout her classes. Missy incorporates her love of the Italian language with her passion for music, and would often break out in song......I enjoyed both my private lessons, and group lessons. Missy is worth EVERY DOLLAR SPENT. She pours her heart and soul into our (online and in person), lessons! Do yourself a favor and sign up for her classes NOW! Tip: Do not forget to practice with your flash cards, and sticky notes placed around your house!

    Melissa is an encouraging and patient teacher of the Italian language. She creatively uses flash cards, pictures, short stories and even opera lyrics to introduce words, grammar and expressions. Her passion for la bella lingua is contagious.
