Juri d'Altilia

I've been taking online lessons from Juri for almost a year, starting from about advanced beginner to now intermediate. I find him to be both affable and knowledgeable. In our lessons, it often feels like a regular conversation, but he subtly lets you know where corrections ought to be made to improve your speaking. My focus with him has been to improve my speaking, so materials we have used are varied. Exercises include: my reconstruction of an itinerary of a past italian trip (from my journal) or reading articles for comparing and contrasting points, and he also gave me a great pdf text that had topics of interest I could study and choose our next conversation on.

An excellent lesson learning Italian. Juri is an awesome teacher! he is extremely good at explaining the little details between pronunciation, common differences between Italian and other languages, and giving tricks to help remember those words. He speaks English perfectly so he was able to explain the things I didn't understand in a way that made perfect sense. Very happy and looking forward to the next lesson :)

Juri is one of the best tutors/professors I have ever spoken with on Italki. Starting from his first message where he explained me his method of working, I was really impressed and felt he cares about his students. During our session I was able to confirm my thoughts, Juri is super friendly and our conversation was very fluid and natural. He even took notes on what I was saying and showed me that he was interested on my improvement. The fact that he is fluent in more languages is beneficial when not understanding nor knowing a term and I really appreciate it. I am looking forward to our incoming classes and improving my Italian with him.

Juri is a very good teacher. We had lessons only for one month, but the materials that Juri offered were interesting and very good. We have done many new things and Juri has interested me in further learning of Italian. Thank you!

I had a wonderful lesson with Juri! He is a talented polyglot whose knowledge of many languages makes him fun to have a lesson and conversation with. Grazie mille, Juri!

Bravo insegnante e una persona simpatica
