Flavio Massignan

From my time learning with Flavio, I can attest to his deep expertise in Italian language and culture, even though he is very modest about it. His lessons not only inspire curiosity but also foster fluency effortlessly, as with him it somehow became easy for me to remember new vocabulary. What I appreciate most is Flavio's readiness to explain words and find synonyms, making every concept clear and easy to grasp. He's incredibly flexible, allowing me to decide the direction of the lesson based on my interests and needs. Flavio creates a comfortable learning environment where I feel at ease asking questions and exploring new topics. He's easy to talk to and always approachable, with a non-judgmental attitude that encourages open discussion. When it comes to corrections, Flavio is gentle and encouraging, providing constructive feedback that helps me improve without feeling discouraged. I can fully recommend him as a teacher.

Flavio is always ready for our lessons and he patiently listens to me read, helping me with words I cannot pronounce. He is always supportive even if I happen to make the same error. He is cool in that he speaks to me in Italian even if I answer in English cause my Italian is not strong enough. He is an interesting and kind person who appreciates and values culture.

Flavio è un grande insegnante. Mi ha aiutato a preparare il mio viaggio in Italia. Grazie mille Flavio!

A great and patient listener who will help and encourage you along the way. Thank you for so many great lessons!

Nice to catch up with Flavio. A fluid and entertaining conversation about travel, languages, and politics. Recommended.

Flavio is a great teacher; I have taken five one hour lessons from him and am completely satisfied. He is patient, engaging, encouraging and helpful. Talk about qualified: he has completed his PhD program (including thesis defense) and is travelling for a few months... and teaching, as he awaits university paperwork. Take some lessons now, this super educated person will not be available forever!
