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.

老师性格热情，擅长肯定学生，缺乏教材，上课时网络卡了几次，如果老师有教材，网络更顺畅，那就更好了。谢谢

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

Wonderful time with Franco. I am starting to be able to have conversations and he asks me questions like: tell me about your family and upbringing. New words, new contexts... he makes it fun and interesting.

I did not get connection to Franco through my laptop (even though it seemed to work fine for me) and fortunately I saw on my phone that he had messaged me so I connected through my tablet and it worked. I used the time to study but I’m thankful that Franco waited patiently for 20 minuted!. Too bad that we missed 20 minutes together but I made use of the time.
