Testimonials

Carlo is a natural teacher who does a great job of adapting his approach to his students' learning style and needs. Having someone who could answer questions, help listen to and adjust my pronunciation, and tailor the vocabulary to the specific situations I would need while traveling is invaluable. I'm also enjoying that the lessons give me the opportunity to hear how the more casual way native speakers I will encounter will likely talk, rather than the formal style I would have probably gotten from a textbook or app. I have really enjoyed my lessons and look forward to continuing my studies.

Carlo Piacenza has been a guide and teacher to me in improving my Italian language skills. Carlo has a solid understanding of English so he communicates excellently with me, when needed, the Italian grammar that is used in everyday conversation, as well as, the idiomatic use of words and phrases. Carlo can help Italian students at any level of learning. He addresses my level, intermediate Italian, with attention to what I need to improve my conversation and writing skills. Along with conversation in Italian, he uses readings from books, internet videos and Wikipedia.it to assist the sessions. My ability to speak in Italian and communicate in writing has improved greatly since I started working with Carlo five months ago.
