♫ Valentina Stella

My lessons with Valentina are always fantastic. She is an amazing teacher - she's extremely passionate about teaching, she makes you feel comfortable and excited about learning. She knows just how much to push you so that you keep learning but don't get frustrated. I always look forward to my lessons with Valentina and would recommend her and her unique (and effective!) teaching methods to anyone!

AWESOME!! I LOVE learning from her! I have tried many other ways to learn Italian and after only 2 lessons, her method is so helpful with helping to speak accurately and understand well!

After 16 lessons, I can attest the soundness of Valentina's method. The use of songs and emphasis on proper pronunciation create a strong link between speaking the language and hearing it. This is a much more effective than other approaches I have tried. (I would urge all of her prospective students to consider using the video tutorials and exercises she has archived online!)

Great teacher! Uses songs and other enjoyable materials to teach Italian :) highly recommend!

I am learning so much faster by working with Valentina rather than trying to learn on my own. She's a great teacher - very patient and easy to work with.

We had a review and consolidation of progress and Valentina as always is encouraging and full of ideas to progress from a certain plateaux I’ve reached. Motivated to move forward.
