Francesco

Francesco is hands down the best instructor of Italian. I have been taking lessons with him for some months already, and we have never run out of interesting topics to talk about. His approach to teaching the Italian language works pretty well at stimulating and encouraging the student to improve his / her proficiency in every class. Additionally, his knowledge of so many topics makes it easier to hold intelligent discussions. I have leant many ways to express myself with much more confidence in Italian, a language that I love. Additionally, I have learnt about so many others areas, besides the Italian language, of which I was pretty ignorant before. Language and culture cannot be separated, and my classes with Francesco are a testimony of that. I am beyond grateful, thank you so much Francesco! Kareen

Come sempre è stato un piacere parlare o più discutere con Francesco! Noi facciamo le lezioni insieme già da mesi ed ogni volta troviamo qualcosa da parlare per un ora senza preparazione. Oltre la sua straordinaria capacità di iniziare una conversazione e di alimentarla per la lezione io stimo soprattutto la sua abilità come insegnante di motivarmi a parlare il più possibile e farmi accorgere dei miei errori senza che io perda il filo del discorso. Ed anche i dieci minuti alla fine di ognuna lezione, dove riassumiamo le difficoltà che avevo con la grammatica o col vocabolario, sono utilissimi ed io aprendo sempre qualcosa di nuovo. Grazie infinite Francesco!

It's been about half a year when I've started learning Italian with Francesco. I've been learning also other languages here on italkie so I had various teachers. I can assure all of you that Francesco is definitely among the best on this platform. After these roughly 6 months I definitely made a progress in Italian (it's just hard to compare my level today and in January '22). It's thanks to Francesco - his skills, attitude, patience, character. I highly recommend him as a teacher. You will never feel disappointed. What is cooler to get to know the language of one of world's top countries?

Francesco is terrific! I have finished my first lesson with him and am looking forward to my continued journey learning Italian. Francesco is talented, personable and patient. He has a wonderful appreciation for his students. It is an honor and pleasure to meet and learn with Francesco.
