Franco is the loveliest teacher I’ve ever had, I feel so lucky to have found him as my Italian teacher. He is not only a great teacher but an incredible person. I usually get nervous before I take lessons or classes for anything but I never feel that way before my lessons with him. He is so great at making you feel comfortable and inspires motivation and an eagerness to keep learning. He is also exceptional at making it feel fun and interesting to learn, unlike language classes at school often feel. Lessons with him always feel like I’m talking to a friend and I just so happen to also be learning a new language while doing so! I highly recommend to take lessons with him, I plan to do so for as long as he teaches! Grazie mille Franco!

Franco is a gem. Since he is a translator by profession, he is able to offer a linguistic perspective when sustaining conversation and explaining concepts. He is also worldly and learned.

Franco is a terrific teacher and a wonderful person. Lessons with him are so enjoyable and helpful.

i am learning Italian and French with Franco and always find him ti be an excellent teacher kind, friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable. The fact that he is fluent in English helps a lot in discussing the nuances in all three languages and his ability to compare them is invaluable. Many thanks

Franco is a wonderful teacher- so caring and helpful! I would recommend him to anyone trying to learn.

We spent a wonderful hour going over my notes from our last class. It was so helpful to address where I was unsure and franco has specific examples and explanations right away. Delightful!
