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!

Livello C1. Dopo la lezione di prova, questa è stata la mia prima lezione. Molto bella e stimolante. Francesca mi mette al mio agio - e anche alla prova nel preparare l’esame C1 che sosterrò a dicembre.

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!

È stata una lezione di prova molto piacevole! La professoressa è molto coinvolta e abbiamo parlato bene di come strutturare le prossime lezioni. Mi ha dato tanti consigli utili e suggerito diversi siti e podcast per continuare a praticare fuori dalle lezioni. Mi è piaciuto molto il suo approccio e non vedo l’ora di continuare!

Innanzitutto Francesca ha ascoltato per capire i miei obiettivi, poi ha spiegato la struttura e l’approccio per la presentazione dell’esame C1. Riesce a creare un’atmosfera professionale ma anche rilassata contemporaneamente. Grazie.
