It gives me great pleasure to recommend Cristina to you as an Italian teacher. She has been instructing me now for 18 months. I find her lessons stimulating, interesting, enjoyable and highly educational. I believe my Italian has improved significantly and whilst concentrating on spoken Italian we spend a percentage of each lesson focusing on grammar and language structure.
I feel fortunate to have found such an excellent teacher.

I have spent the last six years continuing to improve my Italian with private lessons with Cristina, initially face-to-face but via Skype during the lockdown. She has helped me make substantial progress during this time; the lessons are informative but also fun, well structured (a period of conversation followed by discussion of the book currently being read and answers to last week’s homework, followed by discussion of whatever new topic with exercises). Cristina is always well-prepared, punctual, and chooses topics and books based on my interests. As well as individual lessons, Cristina has arranged group meetings of her students where we have done such things as visited art galleries and museums, learned to cook Italian food, singing Italian songs and food and wine tastings.
I cannot rate her highly enough as an Italian teacher.

I have had the benefit of Genesia’s teaching expertise in different contexts: evening class, online reading group and one-on-two coaching. I can say without hesitation she is the best teacher I have ever had (out of very many!). She delivers a pleasing balance of grammatical and conversational inputs, knows with great sensitivity when to intervene to correct mistakes and she picks up instantly on individual interests to choose personally adapted materials to work on. Her wide sphere of reference to Italian, European and British culture, literature, current affairs makes for wide-ranging and stimulating lessons. I feel as if I have made great progress in a short time, thanks to her skills and delightful personality.

I have significantly improved my Italian with Genesia’s lessons and recommend her unreservedly. She makes all our lessons great fun and is always very well prepared. She is very knowledgeable on many literary and other aspects of Italian culture and endlessly patient. I couldn’t have found a better teacher.
