I've been working with Sandro for the past two months and have really enjoyed our sessions. He provides the right balance of formal grammar instruction and informal speaking practice. He is a native Italian speaker, experienced instructor with expertise in diction, and is well-versed in regional differences through Italy. No matter your level, I highly recommend him to learn Italian in a fun way!

2 diction lessons

For this first lesson in Russian diction I met Ella in a public place. It was quiet enough so that I could make a useful audio recording. I tried to imitate her pronunciation and she made corrections. I thought the lesson was very useful. I have my work cut out for me but I will definitely continue with Ella on this project.
