Eva

Lucia is a fantastic tutor, she is friendly and encouraging. One of the things I really appreciate is how clearly she explains grammar or vocabulary that I’m confused about – she takes the time to break things down in a way that makes them easy to understand and remember. We're following a textbook, but she gave me the option of whether or not to use one, which I really liked because it made the learning feel more flexible.

She focuses on the student's needs and adapts the lessons accordingly. She uses a lot of materials and also offers optional exercises to practice between lessons. She has a lot of positive energy, and her lessons are never boring!

Lucia is an excellent tutor! She has lesson plans ready for every type of lesson and uses study material to explain various grammar topics. Meanwhile, she is very capable in guiding you through an entire lesson of speaking which is great when the focus needs to be on having conversations in Italiano! After a month, I was able to have conversations with Italians in Italy!
