Martina Gressani

I’ve been studying with Martina for more than two years, and she has transformed the way I learn Italian. When I first started, I struggled to find words and lacked the confidence to really speak. With Martina’s patience and expert guidance, I’ve made consistent progress—not just in grammar and vocabulary, but in my ability to express myself naturally. What sets Martina apart is her teaching style: she listens carefully, encourages you to speak freely, and then corrects and explains in a way that feels supportive, never discouraging. Every lesson is a mix of challenge and motivation, and I always leave feeling more confident and excited to keep going. I still have a long way to go, but the improvement I’ve seen already is undeniable. If you’re serious about learning Italian and want a teacher who is both professional and genuinely invested in your growth, I couldn’t recommend Martina more highly. She is exceptional.

With Martina’s guidance and instruction I’ve learned so much in the roughly 8 months I’ve worked with her, and look forward to continuing my studies with her. Together we discuss and decide my goals and the best way to get there. I really appreciate her!

Grazie per la lezione ottima!

Always enjoyed my lessons with Martina! Time flies by so quickly and there’s always many opportunities to speak and express myself. Appreciate the patience from Martina while I struggle to form sentences and she makes me feel comfortable to make mistakes and learn from them. I’ve made a lot of progress since I first started from scratch in Italian. It’s exciting to now be able to read and discuss news written in simple Italian. Other than speaking, I also get to practise listening and writing skills. I feel like I can catch spoken Italian much more than ever. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Grazie per la lezione ottima!

It’s always an interesting lesson with Martina. She picks a variety of subjects with which to study grammar and vocabulary. I’ve progressed at least two levels working with her. Very grateful to have such a wonderful teacher!
