Valerio

Thank you so much for all of your dedication to your students. You are a great teacher and every time that I book a lesson with you I know that I will have a great conversation in which I will have the opportunity to learn so much of the Italian language, the Italian culture and much more.

I'm writing this in English for those who are looking for an Italian teacher, who will stay at your pace and help you kindly, patiently. Valerio is a calming influence and puts me at ease every week, so that speaking and listening in Italian feel real and engaging. His gentle personality creates an atmosphere of comfort in which my self-criticism (as with repetitive errors I think I should not be making anymore, and do) is kept to a minimum. He takes an interest in the details of my days, curious to ask this or that, and shares openly anything that relates to his own experiences. I appreciate and enjoy being with him. I admire his own aspirations, and this generates more conversation. In addition, Valerio keeps a tally things to teach me, and for me to practice offline, offering texts that relate to the errors I make. Frankly, I encourage you to schedule a chat with him.

Valerio is a very friendly and supportive teacher, he caters the conversation to the student's interest and weaves in helpful cultural, vocabulary, and grammar points effectively. Thank you!

Valerio teaches in a very straightforward manner, and he has excellent diction in both Italian and English. After 4 lessons I have made much progress. Valerio é facile a comprendere. Dopo solo quattro lezioni, ho fatto molti progressi.

Thank you for a very stimulating lesson with lots of new information!

super challenging but encouraging lesson - appreciate that Valerio truly wants me to improve and believes that I can!
