Florentina Fetahi

I started taking lessons with Florentina in January, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! Her patience and encouragement have been invaluable in helping me build my confidence to speak Albanian. I was born and raised in the U.S., and both of my parents from Kosovo. While I grew up hearing Albanian at home, I always responded in English, which left me lacking both the skills and confidence to speak it myself. Finding a tutor who teaches the Gheg/Kosovar dialect was incredibly difficult, especially with so few resources available online. But finding Florentina has been an absolute blessing. During our lessons, she has been incredibly helpful, whether it’s helping improve my pronunciation or engaging in conversational practice. If you're looking for a kind and dedicated Albanian tutor—especially one highly skilled in the different dialects—I wholeheartedly recommend Florentina. She has truly made a difference in my learning journey, and I’m so grateful to have found her!

Florentina is very calm and has a great way of making you understand the materials! Although I’m busy as I’m a mom of 2 and I don’t have a lot of time to practice at home, she makes me understand everything from the class She is also very patient with me and I’m sure that by working further with her, I will end up learning at the desired level of Albanian

Florentina is a very good teacher for me because she adapts her teaching method to the necessity of her students; For example I prefer to have more talking than exercises but she can also follow the book and give exercices, homework. In order words she is flexible, available and very very friendly.

I have had several lessons with Florentina, and found her to be unfailingly organised and encouraging. She is knowledgeable too: we use a textbook in our lessons, but she uses it skilfully as a resource, not a straitjacket.

Florentina is very kind and patient. She’s been able to pinpoint where I struggle and creates lessons based on where we see I can improve. She comes to every lesson prepared with a plan and is open to any suggestions I may have. I recommend her to anyone trying to learn Albanian as she is very knowledgeable in both dialects. 10/10!

Florentina has been beyond helpful. She is a fantastic teacher and very patient. I highly recommend!
