Reviews
Fabiana has been teaching my adult son with hearing issues for a couple of months now. She is punctual and flexible re schedule changes and my son, in addition to learning a lot for an upcoming trip to Italy, really enjoys their lessons. Things have been going so well, in fact, that his classes, which were initially 30 minutes, are now an hour. I highly recommend Fabiana!
Fabiana is an amazing instructor. She has a great sense of humor and can read your style and learning speed very easily. I am an uneasy student and don’t have much confidence to speak, but she is patient and finds ways to get me to talk! I wasn’t sure how many lessons I would want, but now I want to keep going because she makes me feel comfortable. This experience of trying to learn a new language at a later stage in life has exceeded my expectations!
Fabiana is a wonderful Italian tutor. I started with her a couple of months ago after spending a year with Duolingo and other online programs. What a difference! The curriculum she uses (from Italy) is excellent, and she supplements it with videos and other tools that are so helpful and entertaining. I love the way that she speaks (and writes) to me in Italian, despite my novice status. I highly recommend Fabiana. She's extremely professional and her fee is incredibly reasonable. Working with her has been an enjoyable experience in every way.
Fabiana teaches Italian to our 4-year-old daughter. She is incredibly patient and knows exactly how to keep her engaged throughout the lessons, making it fun and interactive, which keeps our daughter excited and motivated. We’ve already seen great progress, and we highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and caring Italian teacher for young children!
So far, it has been a great experience working with Fabiana
Excellent teacher -- was able to adapt to the student based on preferences and organic direction of the lesson. Great!
My 15 year old daughter needed help with some specific topics for her Italian 2 final exam. I found Fabiana on Thumbtack, reached out to her, and within minutes she was on a video chat with my daughter. My daughter found her to be very helpful and understood the topics after their one hour session. I definitely will be reaching out to Fabiana anytime my daughter needs help the rest of the school year.
I have been learning Italian with Fabiana for over a year, and the experience has been exceptional. She brings remarkable quality and value to every lesson, tailoring her teaching to fit my goals and learning style. Lessons are engaging and well-structured, blending grammar, vocabulary, and conversation practice in a way that feels natural and effective. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn or improve their Italian!
Fabiana is teaching my 7-year-old daughter Italian for admission to an Italian immersion school. She is delightful and doing well engaging my daughter! I appreciate that she's honest and easy to communicate with when setting meetings up.
