Con una serie di lezioni prima della partenza, Cosimo mi ha preparato molto bene prima di un viaggio in Giappone. Consiglio a tutti, grazie Cosimo!

Huge and tiring lesson! We covered a lot of material in the hour, from giving directions, drilling conversation, and practicing listening comprehension. I also have a lot of items to study in the next week too! Can't wait for the next one.

Cosimo è davvero un ottimo insegnante, è molto paziente, ti aiuta e guida in ogni esercizio e credo che non ci sia modo migliore di imparare il giapponese. Assolutamente uno dei migliori insegnanti che abbia mai avuto, grazie Cosimo!

Cosimo是位因材施教的老師！與老師上課的三年間，能真切地感受到老師對語言的熱忱以及對教學的認真，且精通中文的老師能厲害的點出中文母語使用者的盲點。非常開心能遇到Cosimo老師，大力推薦給大家來跟老師一起學語言。

After just one short lesson, Cosimo very quickly understood my level and what I need to improve. He is evidently very knowledgeable as a teacher. Would certainly recommend!
