For me, Sara is a great teacher and very patient. Even though I don't know much Italian yet (Level A1/A2), the lessons are almost entirely in Italian. The exercises are varied and Sara attaches great importance to getting into speaking. To consolidate, some things are repeated and there are also tasks for between lessons. I am very satisfied with the lessons and can already see significant improvements in my Italian language skills. Sara is also a very nice and professional teacher who is always well prepared.

Natacha is a very pleasant and open person who has experience in several languages. I immediately felt at my ease. I mainly try to talk and exchange. Natasha offers me themes on which we can discuss with supporting materials. Right after class, Natasha sends me the correction of the mistakes I made. I always look forward to the next class :)
