Giacomo Farfis

Giacomo has been a fantastic teacher over the past year and a half of lessons. He does a tremendous job of balancing when to practice patience and when to challenge me further. His teaching style and insights adapt as my own skills improve, enabling me to consistently break plateaus and never stagnate. He also does a great job of going beyond the materials we review; he always provides additional details and colloquial uses of things that I wouldn't just find in a book. On top of all of this, conversations flow naturally with him and he's truly reliable and dedicated to his craft. I can't recommend Giacomo enough to anyone trying to improve their language skills regardless of current ability!

Giacomo è il miglior insegnante che ho trovato su Italki. Dopo 30 lezioni con lui, ho imparato tantissimo e adesso riesco a parlare in italiano con chiunque, senza problemi. Giacomo è una persona davvero gentile e tranquilla, e le sue lezioni sono sempre divertenti. In particolare, apprezzo molto la sua conoscenza dell'inglese e dello spagnolo: mi aiuta sempre quando ho un dubbio o commetto un errore. Parlare con lui è facilissimo perché ti fa sentire a tuo agio. Non vedo l'ora di fare la mia prossima lezione con Giacomo!

Un'altra lezione dinamica con Giacomo. E un piacere fare lezione con lui.

I recently had the pleasure of taking Italian lessons with Giacomo on italki, and I can confidently say he is the best Italian teacher you could ever find. From our first lesson, his passion for the language and culture was evident. Giacomo's teaching style is engaging and tailored to each student's needs, making learning enjoyable. He possesses an impressive depth of knowledge and has an incredible ability to break down complex concepts into manageable parts. His lessons blend conversation, and cultural insights, immersing you in the Italian experience. What truly sets Giacomo apart is his genuine enthusiasm for helping students succeed. He is patient, encouraging, and adapts his lessons to your level and goals. His friendly demeanor and sense of humor make each lesson enjoyable. If you're considering Italian lessons, I wholeheartedly recommend scheduling a session with Giacomo. His expertise and dedication are unmatched, and you'll leave each lesson feeling inspired and motivated!

I've been learning conversational Italian with Giacomo and I can already notice the improvement in my conversation skills. Giacomo has a lot of experience teaching Italian, his lessons are interactive allowing me to do most of the talking to practice recalling words, conjugating verbs all while holding a conversation. We use an Italian conversation textbook to guide the conversation topics, review useful words and phrases and that works very well.

Thank you, Giacomo!
