Listen to what students have to say about Barbara's classes

Barbara is a fantastic teacher and working with her has improved my Italian so much! She is a very experienced educator with a vast knowledge of languages and language education. We have covered so much material in our time together and every single lesson has been a lot of fun! I really appreciate the way that Barbara’s lessons combine very precise, in-depth discussions about grammar with lots of opportunities to practice conversations and build confidence. She always provides engaging learning resources in a range of different formats to help improve reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Barbara cares so much about her students and works incredibly hard to provide advice and set learning goals that align with individual needs and preferences. She develops lessons and lesson plans that react to my progress and areas in which I’d like to improve. Thank you so much, Barbara!

I studied Italian on my own for a few years until I felt I needed help from an actual language teacher. Fortunately, I found Barbara. Barbara assessed my skills and formulated a plan to take me to the next level. Barbara’s professionalism, experience, warm personality, and sense of humor made every lesson an absolute joy. Five stars!

Barbara is an excellent teacher, competent and focussed on the proposed needs and goals. I have known her for a few years and I am currently taking private lessons, which allow me to develop some insights that I consider most relevant. One of the benefits of learning in this model with Barbara, is that it allows me to address the subjects that I find most interesting. Barbara creates a tailor-made content for classes, practical and very interesting, in order to meet the goals originally set. Still, theres's always room and flexibility for adjustments.

One of the best Italian teachers I have ever had. An amazing thing about her is that apart from being efficient and having great materials to get me through Italian grammar and structure ( which is not easy, believe me! ) she has a passion for sharing and giving great tips on all aspects of Italian culture and daily life. After a few months I felt I grasped a really good understanding of basic Italian and what Italian culture and way of being is all about. She made me confident to speak in Italian and thanks to her I stopped fearing making mistakes, as she made me realize these are part of the learning curve. Barabra is one of these teachers that will make you speak with confidence and her classes are interesting with great support material. Highly recommended''

Barbara is a brilliant teacher who helped me with my speaking skills and grammar. Only a month of learning with her and I made a significant improvement in my Italian. There is always an interesting subject to talk about. This makes each lesson fun and entertaining and is the perfect situation to make progress. Very punctual and always well prepared for my lessons.

If you’re looking for an experienced teacher who knows how to get the best out of your language learning capacity, I can highly recommend Barbara. With her professionalism and attention to detail, you know you are in good hands, and her kind and patient demeanor will make you feel relaxed. Her encouraging energy will give you the confidence you need to start speaking. This is all from a beginner’s point of view, but she also teaches at an advanced level, and I hope to be learning with her when I get to that stage!
