I have been taking lessons with Sarah for over 2 years. She is an extremely positive and highly professional teacher who always meets my needs and requests for upcoming lessons. She is also an extremely talented person. I found her through her Italianochiaro podcast available on Spotify and was eager to schedule lessons with her. Her website, https://italianochiaro.com, offers many useful, high-quality materials specifically targeted to help you feel comfortable traveling or living in Italy. She is an amazing person and instructor, with incredible creativity and content! Highly recommend her to anyone who's goal is to become fluent in 2025.

Sarah is a very experienced teacher with many years of language instruction. She identifies your weaknesses and works hard to improve your understanding. Her lessons are always warm and friendly, and you feel comfortable speaking. Best teacher I've met on the platform.

My second full lesson with Sarah and another great one! She is always enthusiastic and encouraging. I was a bit flustered and reluctant to speak Italian in my first lesson but she made it very clear that it's okay to make mistakes, invent or guess words, ask questions or dip into English when I need to. This approach and the safe space she creates, has already accelerated my learning.
I noticed that she also increased the amount of Italian she was speaking in this lesson, compared to my first, which is great - I don't understand everything but I was surprised by my comprehension level and appreciate her challenging me in this way.
Grazie mille, Sarah!

Sarah is such a loving person and always puts me in such a good mood. I learn a lot from our lessons but I also just enjoy speaking to her as a person. I always look forward to our classes :)
