Con una serie di lezioni prima della partenza, Cosimo mi ha preparato molto bene prima di un viaggio in Giappone. Consiglio a tutti, grazie Cosimo!

Huge and tiring lesson! We covered a lot of material in the hour, from giving directions, drilling conversation, and practicing listening comprehension. I also have a lot of items to study in the next week too! Can't wait for the next one.

I loved my first class with Cosimo! The teacher was very patient and has guided me to correct answers in a very nice and thoughtful way. I learned so much in the first lesson and cannot wait to have more classes in the future!
