Challenging. Tailored. FUN.

Carlo assesses your strengths and weaknesses right off the bat, which means he doesn't drag you through things you already know. He uses an intuitive approach that's fun and engaging, and he has a great sense of humor, yet he also is very precise in his corrections of grammar, of spelling, of pronunciation, of cultural effects on the language. He has pointed me to great resources, and he explains language usage concepts in ways that make sense. (He also explains why they're so hard for English speakers to "get", which helps me feel a bit less dense!) So far: learning and laughter in every lesson! And the homework keeps it going throughout the week. Grazie mille, Carlo!

Grazie Carol, nell'insegnamento c'e' sempre reciprocita', non ci sono bravi insegnanti senza bravi e commessi studenti!

Enjoyable Learning

Carlo is very good at explaining concepts and gives good examples regarding the subject matter he is covering. I learned a lot of new things that will help my pronunciation and understanding of the language.

Eccellente Italian Tutor

Carlo is an excellent professor of the Italian language. He is a native speaker which brings the nuance, proper syntax and modern colloquialism to each lesson. He is patient, interested and flexible with his time. He will not progress until the student masters the previous lesson. You will also have some fun while learning. I highly recommend him.

Patience

Carlo was very patient, and stressed that I needed to be patient with myself...to slow down. Take time to think and get the right answer rather than rush and get pronounciation wrong.

Comprehensive and caring

Carlo makes sure you have the materials and knowledge you need to achieve your lesson goals. He has tutored our family and can adjust to various levels rapidly. He has been able to accommodate our crazy schedule. My middle schooler thinks he is fantastic and wishes he had him as a teacher at school!

Great, knowledgeable and efficient tutor!

Carlo is very patient and precise, knowing well the English grammar he is able to make simple and useful comparison between English and Italian in terms of grammatical and cultural differences, which are indispensable elements in order to speak, understand and be able to live in a foreign country. He is very careful to not waste time, checks on your understanding constantly and he is also very pleasing. I really recommend Carlo.

Good learning pace and flexibility in scheduling

We have had 4 sessions with Carlo and feel like we have learned a lot about the Italian language. Actually using the language will take much more practice and experience! He teaches us at a good pace and is very flexible with his schedule to accommodate our schedules which sometimes requires adjustment for work reasons. He changes up the exercises to get us to keep thinking and learning. He is also good with immediate feedback on pronunciations of the words.
