Hi everyone, I am Sofia and I can't wait to start talking with you! Languages are one of my passions. My native languages are Italian and Albanian, but I also learned English at the age of 4/5 years old, visiting the United States. I learned French and Spanish in High School (focused on foreign languages). I keep practicing acquired languages myself while trying to learn new ones.

Great first lesson with Sofia. She made me feel very comfortable and the 30 minutes passed quickly. Her suggestions and corrections were so helpful and she communicates clearly. I’m definitely looking forward to our next lesson!

Thank you so much! You really helped me understand things in a simple and clear way, and made me feel more confident before the exam. Your way of explaining was calm and respectful, I totally recommend her.

My lessons with Sonia are so useful and productive. She is very easy to talk to and she does a very good job of correcting my (many) mistakes with only a minimal interruption of our conversation. I would also point out to potential students that Sofia's English is particularly good which is helpful when she wants to make sure that I understand a particular point.

I just finished my first lesson with Sofia, and I'm looking forward to more. She was very patient, and didn't make me feel intimidated or embarrassed to try to speak Italian with her. I enjoyed our lesson, and am excited about learning more. She has a different approach than my regular teacher here, and I think that utilizing both of them is going to help me learn more quickly.

I must say that Sofia is an incredible teacher and a wonderful person. She’s warm, curious, and genuinely interested in getting to know you, which makes every class feel natural and personal. Talking with her feels more like spending time with a friend than studying. I believe that’s what makes learning Italian with her so special.

Sofia is relaxed and friendly and that makes the lessons go so much better. She offers good suggestions and she is quite patient with me when I go off on tangents 🤣
