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.

As always, this was another great lesson with Franco.

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

Another enjoyable lesson with Franco. He’s so prepared and encouraging!

I always enjoy my time with Franco. We meet frequently enough that it's fun that he indulges me on chit chat. I am excited when I can share something about english or the USA that he has not heard of! I learn so much each session and it energizes me to learn and study more.
