Francesca Campanella

Francesca is helping me prepare for the oral part (la parte orale) of the CILS level C2 exam, and I have found her assistance to be highly effective. She has provided different monologues and dialogues for us to use during the lessons, and is very strong at playing the role of the “conduttrice” with whom each exam candidate will need to interact during the test itself. I feel like my conversational skills—especially those oriented towards the requirements of the exam—have improved as a result of Francesca's efforts. I should also note that I have taken several beginner level Portuguese lessons from Francesca, and have enjoyed those, as well! Brava, Francesca!

Francesca is excellent, easy to talk to. She makes you feel comfortable since the first class.

Francesca è una bravissima insegnante che mi ha aiutato tantissimo a ritrovare il mio livello di italiano. La raccomando a chiunque vorrebbe migliorare la propria abilità di conversare come un madrelingua!

Francesca is a real pleasure to work with. She is incredibly light hearted and joyful as a person and that transmits in her approach which makes you feel at ease and calm when learning. She has working knowledge of several languages, so chances are that she will be able to understand where you come from on any given problem. I would suggest to anyone to give her lessons a try!

Francesca chatted with me before I read a scene in a story. For bothe of these parts of our lesson, she made corrections to my pronunciation and also introduced a few words and phrases that were new to me - just what I was looking to do to improve my speaking skills.

Great practice for my speaking skills. The lesson is geared towards conversation, which is exactly what I want. Francesca writes the vocabulary or phrases I struggle with in the chat so I can see it and review it after the lesson which I like.
