Francesca is a wonderful teacher! She taught me everything I needed to know to pass the CELI2 B1 exam. Highly recommended.

I have thus far completed seven one-hour lessons with Francesca, so I feel that I can leave a meaningful review at this point. I've been taking Italian lessons for six years, through approximately 10 teachers (both in-person and online). With the benefit of that experience, I would put Francesca at or near the top of that list. She is great. There are many ways to praise a teacher, but perhaps the biggest compliment one can offer comes relative to the amount of fun you have during the learning process. In that regard, I very much enjoy Francesca's combination of structure and spontaneity. We focus on didactic elements during our lessons, but not to the exclusion of everyday conversation, which is why a lot of us are here in the first place. She asks interesting and intelligent questions that help me think and engage in Italian. I also find her homework assignments helpful, challenging, and FUN. "Insomma," I give her my strongest recommendation...thanks, Francesca!

Great lesson!

Francesca has helped immensely in my preparation for the CILS B2 exam. Her experience as an exam administrator has been very valuable in all aspects of the exam. I would highly recommend her to anyone working towards language certification. She is patient, thoughtful, and provides targeted feedback and corrections. I am very grateful for her help!

Seguo lezioni con Francesca per prepararmi all'esame CELI 3, sono molto contenta perché mi sento ascoltata e risponde molto precisamente alle mie domande. Non vedo l'ora di constatare i miei progressi. Grazie Francesca !

Francesca was extremely patient and made great efforts to answer my questions by providing multiple examples.
