Bella Civitarese
Italian Instructor
A Boston native with deep Italian roots, Bella Civitarese grew up speaking Italian with her father and his family, fostering a strong connection to the language from an early age. Her bilingual upbringing gave her not only fluency but also a deep appreciation for Italian culture and traditions. This lifelong foundation in the language was further enriched through formal studies as an undergraduate at Boston University and during a semester abroad at the University of Padova in Northern Italy.
​
Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Medical Sciences at Boston University, Bella brings both academic excellence and personal experience to her role as an Italian tutor. She is passionate about sharing her love for the Italian language, culture, and cuisine in a way that is engaging, authentic, and tailored to each student’s needs.
