I’ve been taking lessons with Sonia once a week since January, and she’s honestly the best teacher I’ve had so far (I’ve tried many, not just on this platform). She’s always well prepared, and her lessons are fun, interesting, and really helpful. She speaks clearly and explains everything in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which is perfect for beginners like me. To sum up, Sonia is smart, creative, patient, energetic, and super friendly. I truly recommend her to anyone who struggles with speaking Italian. Believe me, she’ll find the best way to help you feel confident and motivated on your learning journey :)
