TESTIMONIALS
I worked with Francesca for 6 years and started knowing very little and I was uncomfortable with really speaking the language. […] I so enjoyed my lessons with Francesca as she made learning fun and enjoyable. She tailored my lessons to what I needed and what I enjoyed.”

Francesca makes learning Italian an adventure. I have been studying with her for several years, and every week I continue to discover new ways that she reaches and engages me. She is always finding diverse pieces to read and inventive ways that I can improve my skills. […] Her intelligent, fun and creative approach is consistently rewarding. I love my classes with Francesca!

I've tried to learn a second language many times, but this is the first time I've tried private lessons and it is totally worth it! Francesca is wonderful at making sure my pronunciation is on target and I'm developing a solid foundation.
