Chiara Pepe

Chiara is the best. She's patient, kind, and so much fun to talk to. I've had about 10 lessons with Chiara and my speaking and listening skills have improved significantly. I'm so glad I decided to take lessons despite my anxieties and insecurities. I already feel more prepared for my meeting with the Italian consilate and for my future visit to Italy. Thank you Chiara 🥰

I have done 4 lessons with Chiara. She has been very helpful. She is always prepared for the lesson, even reaching out beforehand to prepare material. Her English is fantastic in case I ever have a question or if I am lost. She is patient and ready to help. She also types out anything that needs further explanation.

It is now 18 months since I first had a lesson with Chiara and it has been great. When we first met, I had a fairly good level of grammar and vocabulary but I had very little experience of speaking Italian so we focused on conversation. I have grown in confidence to the extent that I never miss an opportunity to start a conversation with any Italians I meet. It always goes well. I am delighted with the progress I have made with Chiara. I love our weekly chats about work, social life, the news, cultural differences, tv, film, YouTube, books, travel, etc. It is always a very enjoyable conversation and Chiara is a very easy person to like. She is very friendly, calm, patient, intelligent, interesting, positive, encouraging, and very helpful with a great sense of humour. I often forget grammar and words, but Chiara is very good at giving me time to think and making me feel like I am almost fluent (I’m not! – One day I will be!). I strongly recommend Chiara as a tutor – she is fantastic!

100 conversations and every one has been really enjoyable!

Sempre favoloso

I don't have any set goals, except the opportunity to practice Italian. Chiara makes it so easy, and is encouring and helps me recall many of the words which I already know. Connecting the brain to the tongue. The practice and exercises we do will eventually alllow me to become so much fluid. Did I already say, she is very encouring? :)
