What students say
"Wow! I've learned several languages in different ways but this is by far the best experience so far! My teacher is very attentive to my way of learning, my tempo and what suits me the best. Full focus on keeping me motivated and learning a lot. Fun! There's a focus on starting to speak little by little as soon as you've learned some of the basics. Usually that comes way too late in other forms of learning. Very kind, professional, flexible and knowledgeable. Can't recommend it enough."
"I follow Cristiano's Italian lessons with great pleasure. He teaches in a calm, easy-to-follow manner but doesn't make it too easy for you: you are challenged to immerse yourself in the language. Cristiano knows how to connect well with my still-beginner understanding and knowledge of Italian. I couldn't wish for a better language teacher!"
"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Cristiano as an Italian teacher. I have tried various teachers both in person and online and can confidently recommend him as truly outstanding. He has superb technical skills but is a very warm and accommodating person making the lessons both informative and congenial."
"Martina is a great tutor. She tailors the lessons to support my preferred learning style, she has a wide range of resources available at all times and for all levels, she's helped me increase my confidence and I'm so pleased at how my Italian language skills are progressing. Martina is also a welcoming, lovely person with a good sense of humour."
"Cristiano is a teacher I can truly recommend. His way of teaching is so natural, never forced, easy, flexible and at the same time very grounded and rich in information. You are thoroughly learning the language with pleasure, not with pressure."
"Great teacher! Easy going yet strict on the grammar! Cristiano adjusts the lessons according to your personal goals. He has a lively way of teaching and makes every lesson interesting due to the large variety of exercises. And he's capable of explaining the complex Italian grammar in a very comprehensive way."
"We have worked with Cristiano for two years now. He is fantastic. Having many years of experience in the Netherlands, he knows exactly what the pitfalls are for Dutch speakers when learning Italian. Based on our progress, he adapts the lessons perfectly. The lessons are not only technical and private, but also truly feel like a personal course rather than something general. He also gives some Italian cultural background, which makes the lessons very pleasant and interesting. Cristiano is a very nice and friendly person, with humor and a positive attitude."
"Cristiano is a very talented and dedicated teacher, deeply passionate about what he does. As a teacher myself, I am amazed by his method and didactical approach, both powerful and effective, achieving the perfect balance between strictness and flexibility. As a student, you can customise your learning path while he will make sure that you achieve real and consistent progress, regardless of your starting level. At the same time, he is a lovely and genuinely interesting person, someone you could easily engage in conversation with for hours. His lessons are always catchy, engaging, and stimulating. You will make real progress very quickly, while truly enjoying the learning journey. Grazie mille, Cristiano!"

They are always interesting, entertaining, and motivating. He explains everything clearly and offers a variety of teaching materials, including grammar exercises and interesting texts at various levels. From the very beginning, he speaks Italian as much as possible, which helped me quickly feel comfortable conversing in Italian."
