Valentina's Feedback

Valentina has been a fantastic tutor!

Valentia is an excellent tutor, she is very well prepared, professional and a joy to learn with. I would highly recommend her services as an Italian tutor.

Valentina is very patient and encouraging with my daughter who is only 10 and learning Italian for the first time. She is loving the classes and keen to log on every week on zoom and learn - this is exactly what you need from a tutor, someone they WANT to learn from.

Valentina could not have been a more perfect tutor! She helped me gain a lot more confidence with my conversational Italian. She also prepared really useful grammar exercises for the areas I needed help with. Without her I don’t know if I would have got a First for my Italian Degree. I’m sure I’ll have more lessons with Valentina in the future as I don’t want to lose the Italian language skills she has taught me!

I started having lessons with Valentina just before lockdown in March 2020 and am thoroughly enjoying the experience. As a frequent visitor to family friends in Italy, I had some familiarity with the sound of the language but had never studied it and so we started at the absolute beginning and have had weekly lessons, mainly on Zoom. I am really pleased and quite surprised with my progress in just three months. Valentina is a really enthusiastic and thorough teacher and she explains the foundations of grammar very well. But the lessons are also fun and interactive and I have been motivated to do the homework and build more confidence in speaking and listening. I have loads more to learn but I can't wait now to go back to Italy and spend more time with my friends really embracing the language. Grazie mille!

I cannot recommend Valentina highly enough. She is a patient, instinctive, good humoured, and insightful tutor. I have always considered myself to be useless at learning languages but with every lesson I feel like I am making progress. As an adult learner I was quite nervous about taking up Italian but I am loving it. Valentina is also a pleasure to spend time with and I look forward to my lessons very much.

Valentina is an excellent tutor, she has helped me get a good working knowledge of Italian. I would not hesitate to recommend Valentina as a tutor.

Valentina is an excellent teacher whom i cannot recommend highly enough. Friendly and patient. For the first time I am progressing with a language!

Valentina is a very good teacher because she not only knows the subject that she is teaching and teaches in a clear way with clear explanations, but she is also able to put students at their ease, which is perhaps particularly important with language teaching. However many mistakes one makes as a student, Valentina enables one to learn from one's mistakes and not lose confidence. The way she teaches makes one enthusiastic and always look forward to the next lesson.

Valentina is a fantastic teacher, and has been extremely accommodating of my schedule which can be difficult week on week. I would gladly recommend her to anyone that wants to learn for her patience and tenacity.

I loved your teaching style and enjoyed your company. Thank you

Stan is excellent he hasn't been for 3 weeks as he was on holiday he came yesterday and the tutoring is going well

Valentina is an absolute gem. She makes learning Italian very exciting. Cant wait for the next lesson. Mille grazie.

Valentina listened to what I wanted to learn and why. I have only had 4 lessons so far and is a challenge. Valentina has a style of tutoring that gives me time to learn and understand, which is a valuable to me.

Valentina is very friendly and I think she has a good teaching process. I have only just started but the pace is good, and I feel I am learning so much more than when I was trying to learn by myself! She is also very well priced in the market with a competitive hourly rate! Bellissimo!

Very professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with.

Valentina is a great teacher and has a positive and inspiring manner. She gave our son a very good start in Italian at short notice. It was hard work but he thoroughly enjoyed her teaching. Highly recommended.

Valentina is a terrific teacher and I would highly recommend her. She is incredibly patient .and understanding and willing to go at my slow pace! Vale makes the lessons fun and is very encouraging despite my poor pronunciation but if she can teach me Italian she can teach anyone. Judith

Valentina is an excellent teacher. She is patient, fun, present, happy to go at my pace and very understanding of my needs.

Fantastic teacher and was great with the children. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you so much.

Vale is an excellent teacher! Very warm, friendly and with a clear passion for teaching. Lessons are fun and varied, making good use of a range of multimedia resources. My skill and confidence in speaking Italian has improved greatly since working with Valentina. Highly recommended!
