Personal Statement

Salve! Hello! I'm Francesco.

Brought up and educated in Italy and the United States, I am equally fluent in both Italian and English, and graduated Manga Cum Laude from NYU. Over the past 20 years, I have worked in the field of Higher Education and gained vast knowledge of course development, instructional design, and in-classroom and on-line training as applied to a variety of subjects.

He is so patient, kind, and has come up with so many fun and creative ways for my daughter to learn Italian. I highly recommend choosing him. Francesco is easy to work with and takes a very sincere approach to teaching.

After a very enjoyable conversation we went into a detailed lesson plan catered to my needs. We went over all the most used tenses and also most used expressions. If you plan to travel to Italy, Francesco is a must have tutor

Francesco is so polite and professional (and funny). We met at my local library and I immediately felt at ease. I was a little embarrassed by my pronunciation, but Francesco was very encouraging and patient. He prepared a wonderfully personalized lesson plan for me which included his original PPT slides and handouts. The slides include audio examples of pronunciation which I really love. I have been studying Italian on my own, but Francesco?s lesson gave me confidence to finally speak the language. After the lesson, Francesco told me all about Rome and Venice, and where to find the hidden gems (restaurants and off-the-beaten path places to visit). I?m definitely continuing to study with Francesco!

My spouse and I are taking lessons together and have different language skills. Francesco is comfortable in teaching us a the same time and making sure he listens to our annunciation individually to help each of us improve our Italian speaking abilities. He's very at ease in his approach to teaching Italian.
