I’m Anna Aresi

Italian Translator, Educator, and Language Enthusiast

I am a Rhode Island-based translator and educator with 15+ years of teaching experience and nearly a decade of experience as a citizenship translator.

I was born and educated in Italy, obtained a Ph.D. in Italian studies from Brown University (focusing on translation studies and second language acquisition), and am an approved translator by the Consulate General of Italy in Boston.

I use my passion for language to help open doors for others. Whether it’s translating texts, navigating government processes, or holding a conversation, I believe language has the power to broaden your horizons and deepen your compassion for others.

Multilingual Family Consultations

“Anna Aresi possesses the rare combination of being exceptionally skilled with language and wonderful with kids. During the lead-up to a 6-month family trip to Italy, Anna worked with our two children, ages 5 and 6, on introductory conversational and written Italian. The kids had so much fun playing games that they never realized how much they were learning. We can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Anna is an extremely knowledgeable, warm, encouraging, and enthusiastic teacher. She is able to meet everyone where they are at, regardless of skill level, and make them feel welcome, heard, and valued. I was a little shy speaking in class, but she created such a relaxed and non-judgmental positive atmosphere that I felt safe to try. I also really appreciated the range of real-world topics, both locally and in Italian culture/history, that we focused on, and the fluidity of the class also allowed for conversations to evolve on their own. I highly recommend working with Anna!”
