♫ Valentina Stella

My lessons with Valentina are always fantastic. She is an amazing teacher - she's extremely passionate about teaching, she makes you feel comfortable and excited about learning. She knows just how much to push you so that you keep learning but don't get frustrated. I always look forward to my lessons with Valentina and would recommend her and her unique (and effective!) teaching methods to anyone!

After 16 lessons, I can attest the soundness of Valentina's method. The use of songs and emphasis on proper pronunciation create a strong link between speaking the language and hearing it. This is a much more effective than other approaches I have tried. (I would urge all of her prospective students to consider using the video tutorials and exercises she has archived online!)

Valentina is an amazing Italian teacher! I love working with her. Quickest hour of my week :)

AWESOME!! I LOVE learning from her! I have tried many other ways to learn Italian and after only 2 lessons, her method is so helpful with helping to speak accurately and understand well!

Valentina is such a gifted teacher. She makes learning fun and knows how to keep her classes interesting and fun.

Valentina is such a gifted teacher. She is patient and supportive. I can’t praise her enough and I feel like I’m making significant progress.
