Rossanna

Rossanna is the best teacher I've had in my life on any subject. I mean that with all my heart. Each hour with her absolutely flies by. She has every personality quality you could want in a teacher - intelligent, interesting, open, fun, encouraging, and kind. Her after-class summaries and exercises are robust and very helpful. I've never enjoyed learning so much. I could be a C2 in french and would still take lessons with Rossanna.

Rossanna is the instructor I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to begin learning French from scratch, as I am currently doing. She creates an atmosphere where you immediately feel comfortable and confident, and every class is thoughtfully structured. You truly feel guided step by step through each topic in a clear and engaging way. What stands out most—beyond her warmth and clarity—is that you hardly notice how much progress you are making. Week after week, my French continues to improve naturally and steadily. Having taught for more than 22 years in language departments at various universities in the United States, I say this with full confidence: she is one of the most effective language instructors I have encountered. I highly recommend her to anyone on italki who is serious about learning French.

Aujourd'hui, Rossanna a été très patiente et gentille avec moi, même si je me sentais fatigué et que j'ai fait plusieurs erreurs. J'ai déjà hâte d'être à la semaine prochaine !

Rossanna is an excellent teacher and I fully recommend her if you're interested in improving your conversational French. She's patient, friendly, and has an effective way of making the rules of the language stick. I've had several teachers on the platform and Rossanna is one of the best.

C'est toujours un grand plaisir d'apprendre avec Rossanna. Ce ne sont pas seulement des cours de qualité, mais aussi des discussions enrichissantes après une journée de travail fatigante. J'ai beaucoup appris et je me sens même pleine d'énergie après chaque leçon.

I would recommend Rossanna to anyone willing to learn, improve and practice French: she is patient, she explains clearly and calmly and she is a great conversationalist, besides being super well traveled and charming. I have been taking classes with a few French tutors before but she is the best one by far!
