A terrific tutor! Professional and fun.
Francesco is so polite and professional (and funny). We met at my local library and I immediately felt at ease. I was a little embarrassed by my pronunciation, but Francesco was very encouraging and patient. He prepared a wonderfully personalized lesson plan for me which included his original PPT slides and handouts. The slides include audio examples of pronunciation which I really love. I have been studying Italian on my own, but Francesco’s lesson gave me confidence to finally speak the language. After the lesson, Francesco told me all about Rome and Venice, and where to find the hidden gems (restaurants and off-the-beaten path places to visit). I’m definitely continuing to study with Francesco!

Comfort in working with students of different skill levels
My spouse and I are taking lessons together and have different language skills. Francesco is comfortable in teaching us a the same time and making sure he listens to our annunciation individually to help each of us improve our Italian speaking abilities. He's very at ease in his approach to teaching Italian.
