"Laura is an excellent teacher of the Italian language to students in the corporate environment.
Not only she is enthusiast about her job but also manages to motivate the class and make their learning experience entertaining and enjoyable.
The results are not only good from the linguistic point of view but also as a team building experience."

“Laura inspires with her infectious enthusiasm. I always finish a lesson feeling upbeat about my progress having often started feeling dim. Her emphasis on understanding and being understood is not at the expense of developing a grasp of the technicalities. I very highly recommend Laura's approach and style.”
Dr Gregory Battle (beginner student)

The main problem with most private teaching lessons is the tedium they can create and the fact that they are usually exam-oriented. Yet, Laura manages to avoid all the barriers that can hinder the learning process. Having had quite long experience learning foreign languages, I can say that Laura has managed to transmit a new language to me better than anybody else in the past. After a relatively small period of continuous lessons with her, I feel already confident for my learning abilities in Italian (something that never occurred so rapidly with other languages in the past). The use of innovative techniques in conjunction with the emphasis in speaking solely in Italian reinforces the ability to learn faster and effectively. Furthermore, the pleasant environment that she creates with the aid of games, interesting/funny subjects and pictures enhances the whole lesson. It is extremely rare to await for the next lesson. Nevertheless with Laura I can assure you that you will anticipate it....and most of all the goal of learning Italian competently will be met...

 “I have been studying Italian with Laura for about a year. She is an extremely effective teacher. Her approach was consistent from the beginning and prompted me to speak Italian as much as I could. Over time with her support I found that my vocabulary has expanded and I am more comfortable speaking the language. She is enthusiastic, well prepared and makes sure the lessons are fun.”
Jason Maratos (beginner student)

"Laura is a great teacher. The lesson are both fun and structured and my confidence speaking the language has increased a lot on account of her enthusiasm and support. Although the lessons are structured, she ensures that we don't just do exercise after exercise where it could become dull and instead she always have fun games and other ways to assist the learning process. Also important about Laura is that she does push you to break out of your comfort zone so I advance. The hour and half speeds by and I always look forward to my lessons."
Megan Schuster (intermediate student)

"Laura is an understanding, helpful, and very cheerful teacher! She manages to adapt herself to the student's individual needs and learning abilities. She is always prepared for the lesson and emphasizes the importance of variety during the teaching hour by alternating between reading, listening, conversation, and even intriguing and creative games! My lessons with her have been captivating, and I have never before had such positive and enthusiastic teacher! I have had quite a big experience with language teachers, and I would highly recommend Laura as the best one so far! The lesson is NEVER boring and I cannot wait to return to London to continue!"
Milena Pappas (advanced student)

"I started taking one to one lessons from Laura after completing a one month immersion course for beginners  in Italian.  I work and travel with my work and I find it difficult to attend regular, scheduled lessons.  Laura is very flexible with the timing of lessons which is great! I am NOT a natural linguist but we have recently purchased a property in Sicily so I wanted to be able to expand on what I already knew.  Laura is both a patient and very encouraging teacher and despite finding progress hard, she has given me the confidence to 'have a go' when I am in Sicily and of course I am slowly improving.  I really enjoy my lessons!"
Ann Gordon (beginner student)

 “I have been studying Italian with Laura for one year now, after having a break from the language for over 10 years Laura was great in tailoring the lesson to my needs, revisiting long forgotten grammar and building confidence speaking the language again. The lessons are well structured and always cover building on our grammatical knowledge and encouraging us to speak on a wide variety of topics that has expanded my vocabulary, we generally always revisit topics to ensure we have not forgotten them and have small tests sporadically to make sure we have fully grasped a topic. I thoroughly enjoy the lessons and think they are good value for money, I feel confident to speak Italian outside the lesson so it's definitely working, thank you Laura”
Olivia Erby (false beginner student)

 "I would highly recommend Laura, who is an excellent teacher. Every lesson I have had so far has been filled with useful topics, which she presents in a fun and interesting way. The lessons are varied, with games, puzzles, interactive discussions, tape recordings and many other different methods of covering both grammar and vocabulary. Laura is always extremely well prepared and professional. Although I was a complete beginner, after just a few months of one lesson per week I am now able to understand many basic phrases and have a simple conversation in Italian".
Julia Barnaby (beginner student)

 "Laura is patient and encouraging and in only a few months of lessons I have gone from a complete beginners level to conversational Italian which I am now able to put to practical use in my job."
Jayne Morgan (lower intermediate student)

 "Laura is an enthusiastic, friendly and patient tutor. She made our lessons enjoyable and thorough. I looked forward to every lesson and I’m confident I learnt more than I expected."
Christina Delapaz (beginner student)

 "I find my lessons with you both very enjoyable and inspirational. You are very patient, well prepared for each lesson with relevant visual and audio materials, your lessons are well structured and are pitched at the right level. Even though I find it very hard to concentrate on learning a new language at the end of a busy working day, I feel I am making a slow progress. Thank you very much and look forward to my next lesson."
