Feedback from our students
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"Great teacher. For four years now. Flexible and capable of making every lesson a positive experience. He taught me a lot."
"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"
"Martina is a very friendly, approachable teacher. She works through exercises with you at your own pace, and it is fantastic to have the opportunity to be able to practice conversing with a native speaker in Italian!"
