Flavio Massignan

From my time learning with Flavio, I can attest to his deep expertise in Italian language and culture, even though he is very modest about it. His lessons not only inspire curiosity but also foster fluency effortlessly, as with him it somehow became easy for me to remember new vocabulary. What I appreciate most is Flavio's readiness to explain words and find synonyms, making every concept clear and easy to grasp. He's incredibly flexible, allowing me to decide the direction of the lesson based on my interests and needs. Flavio creates a comfortable learning environment where I feel at ease asking questions and exploring new topics. He's easy to talk to and always approachable, with a non-judgmental attitude that encourages open discussion. When it comes to corrections, Flavio is gentle and encouraging, providing constructive feedback that helps me improve without feeling discouraged. I can fully recommend him as a teacher.

Flavio è un grande insegnante. Mi ha aiutato a preparare il mio viaggio in Italia. Grazie mille Flavio!

I want to express my deepest admiration and gratitude to you in this learning journey full of language charm. From the first time I joined into your class to now, every step of learning is like walking in the sunshine of Italy, warm and full of surprises. Your professional knowledge is admirable. Your precise grasp of Italian grammatical structure, rich use of vocabulary and easy use of authentic expressions have made me deeply feel the charm of this language. You can always explain complex grammatical rules in the most concise and clear way, making it easy to understand, allowing me to master the difficulties in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, which is a great encouragement to me.Under your guidance, my Italian level has improved significantly, and more importantly, I have learned how to embrace different cultures with an open mind and observe the world from another perspective. This gain goes far beyond the scope of language learning, and it will become a precious treasure for me.

Flavio is always ready for our lessons and he patiently listens to me read, helping me with words I cannot pronounce. He is always supportive even if I happen to make the same error. He is cool in that he speaks to me in Italian even if I answer in English cause my Italian is not strong enough. He is an interesting and kind person who appreciates and values culture.

Conversation is great with Flavio, his lessons have a good balance of letting you speak and hearing him speak for comprehension. He easily steers the conversation towards your interests, which makes the lessons flow and go by very quickly! He makes sure to correct and encourage as needed. I would recommend Flavio to any student for conversational italian practice!

I really enjoyed my class with Flavio. Thank you!
