Paola's Feedback

My partner and I decided we want to learn Italian and started online lessons with Paola a few months ago. We are thrilled to have chosen her as our tutor! She is always well prepared, tailors her lessons to our needs and gives useful exercises for homework to help solidify our knowledge, but most importantly she is very positive, easily approachable and it’s a pleasure to work with her!

Paola is very helpful, relaxed and makes the lessons interesting. Would certainly recommend.

Paola has been a great Italian tutor for my teenage daughter. Her lessons are fun and engaging with clear content and a structured approach to learning the language. The lessons are supplemented by homework and feedback on progress. We're very pleased with our daughter's progress and with Paola's help she was able to speak with her cousins on a recent family holiday.

Paola is wonderful! She tailored every lesson to me, I was going away to Italy to visit friends and their family and wanted specific focus on conversational Italian. Everyone was very impressed with what I had learnt in 4 weeks. She is personable, friendly and makes everything very easy to understand. I'd recommend her without hesitation and when I pick up learning again I'll be going straight back to her.

Paola is a great teacher!

Every lesson is fun and interactive :) helpful material is shared to enable practice outside of the lessons as well!

Thank you for all your help so far!

Absolutely brilliant! I love working with Paola, she explains everything very clearly, is easy going and flexible around my busy schedule. Her lessons are very valuable and I recommend her 100%

Paola is a very friendly and knowledgeable tutor. She made me very comfortable in my first lesson.
She understood my specific learning needs and I look forward to every lesson.

Friendly efficient and helpful.

I'm so delighted to have come across Paola! I have been learning Italian for a few years, always with a group of other students. It is such a revelation to have one to one lessons with Paola; she is so attentive, explains everything so clearly, clearly understands the needs of each individual student, extremely friendly and such a good teacher. I look forward to hopefully gaining confidence and improving my Italian language with Paola over the coming months and would highly recommend her to anyone learning Italian at any level!

Friendly, understanding and flexible tutor :)

Brilliant tutor, patient and supportive. Very encouraging and I looking forward very much to my next lesson and progressing my Italian with her. Thanks

Very good and approachable.
I'm enjoying the lessons very much and I'm sure I'll be able to join a conversation when I go to Italy next year .

Paola has been a brilliant teacher, who is generally very encouraging, whilst at the same time pointing out any mistakes and thing that I can improve on.

I would highly recommend her.

Paola has been very encouraging and has helped me grasp the important concepts of grammar and sentence construction in Italian. So far so good and I feel progress is being made in my understanding of the language. I have understood that the gender of the speaker affects the words used as well as the gender of the 'things' and how this changes when discussing them in the singular or plural. Paola has given me some useful tools to help understand these concepts.

Thoroughly recommend Paola!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the two lessons I have had so far with you! Thank you and I look forward to continue my practice with you.

I really like the activities you send me by email, it prompts me to practice!

See you soon.

Paola is an excellent tutor. After an initial class she could evaluate my Italian level and my learning needs. My language skills improved a lot. For instance, every time we had speaking sessions, she could identify my mistakes and then prepare the next batch of lessons to fully address it. Always professional, patient with my mistakes and on time. I fully recommend Mrs. classes.

Paola is a wonderful tutor, I really enjoy the lessons I have with her.
She is always well prepared and tailors the tuition exactly towards my learning needs.
I appreciate that she makes a genuine effort to follow my progress and encourages me to practice outside of lessons by setting relevant homework. Paola can explain concepts in a interesting manner and is a natural educator. I also really like how she is able to relate certain linguistic aspects to Italian culture and history- providing such context helps me remember the lessons in a creative way. I highly recommend her!

I am really enjoying working with Paola. Paola is a patient and encouraging teacher who is able to tailor each lesson to my individual needs. I appreciate the way in which our lessons combine a disciplined approach to learning (such as the study of grammatical rules and vocabulary) whilst also talking about Italian culture and things that are relevant to me. Being set homework is definitely motivating and I think it is also good that Paola speaks in Italian as much as possible, even if I sometimes have to ask her to speak a little more slowly at the moment (not a criticism!). After a few weeks together I think we are realising what I need to focus on and it might be useful to agree a structure for the next phase of my studies.

I have been learning with Paola for a number of weeks now, as a beginner. Paola is an enthusiastic, committed teacher. She spends less time for grammar more on vocabulary, communication and conversation. Sometimes I keep forgetting a words thousand times but she patiently types them in on the screen. Highly recommended if you prefer to start your Italian predominantly with conversations and feel grammar is a bit less important for your needs.

Since I first met Paola just a couple of months ago, I have been struck by her wonderfully naturalistic approach to acquiring new language skills.
When we first met, I spoke a few words of Italian and was developing an understanding of the complexity of Italian grammar. What with thirteen tenses, subject, object, adjective agreement, coupled with a very different syntax to English, it felt a very tall order to begin to make any tangible progress at all!
Paola has a kind and gentle approach to teaching others her native language, nurturing my confidence to express myself as richly as I can,while still at this early stage of my learning, in a way which excites my curiosity , coupled with a genuine sense of creativity and achievement! We laugh together too, which always helps make the World go round!
As an adult learner , I certainly could not welcome Paola highly enough! Her warm, welcoming home, gentle smile and genuine encouragement and flexibility make learning Italian an absolute delight! She has the gift of bringing alive the musicality and joy of her Mother Tongue!
Thank you dearest Paola!!!

Paola is a very good tutor. She is very focused, sincere and highly motivated as well as being a lovely person and I really think I will do well with her!!

Really enjoyed learning with Paola.

I have never undertaken on line learning before but it was like having your very own Teacher in the comfort of your own home. I have had a number of on line lessons with Paola and have found her to be an excellent Teacher who has been very accommodating in meeting my time scales for the lessons. She uses a variety of teaching styles to make the lesson different and interesting and it also helps she speaks English and can help me out when I cannot find the correct Italian word. I will be continuing my lessons with her.

I have enjoyed my sessions with Paola which have been valuable in helping me prepare to go and work in Italy. If I had had more time I would certainly have booked more sessions. I found her personable and she sets the right atmosphere for learning. And of course, she's a native Italian speaker — which means she really knows what she's talking about!

Paola has been a great teacher, very patient, and she makes lessons fun.

Paola is polite, fun and passionate about her lessons. In the first lesson I learnt counting and the alphabet, albeit some home study before each lesson will help.

Paola's lessons are great; they are interesting, engaging and fast paced. She is always cheerful and prepared to gear lesson towards your interests and needs. I highly recommend Paola as a teacher.

Paola is very friendly and is a great teacher. I always look forward to my lessons and I would recommend Paola to anyone who is thinking of learning Italian.

5 lessons so far with Paola and they have all been enjoyable and productive.
She has been able to tailor them to suit my requirements, (and abilities), no learning by rote or repetition!
I am looking forward to my future lessons.

Paola is a very conscientious and approachable tutor. She mixes learning everyday spoken Italian with grammatical revision, as required, in a pleasant, enjoyable lesson.
