Luca Manish Penna

Having completed my 22nd Italian lesson with Manish, I can say without hesitation that he is an excellent teacher, and one that I will definitely continue to work with. His class combines conversational practice and grammar. Going into his lessons, my grasp of Italian grammar was uneven. He has built personalized lessons that have first addressed the most glaring holes in my knowledge. Likewise, he has a knack for fine-tuning the difficulty of the exercises to meet my level of understanding. Homework is varied and geared to my interests, giving me ample opportunity to practice writing, reading comprehension and listening skills between classes. I always learn something of Italian culture in the topics we cover. Ample time is devoted to conversational practice, and he provides helpful feedback on pronunciation, vocabulary, and idioms, while maintaining a natural conversational flow. Enthusiastic, patient, and resourceful, with his guidance I have made great strides in leaning Italian.

Me gustó mucho mi primera clase de prueba con Manish, se puede ver que es un excelente profesor. Bien organizado y con dinámicas muy interesantes. Estoy iniciándome en el italiano y supo adaptar sus actividades a mi nivel y mis necesidades. Estoy ansioso por continuar aprendiendo con él 🙌

I had a fantastic lesson with Manish this morning. He is very friendly and welcoming. We were able to speak about a variety of topics, and the time went by very quickly. Also, his Italian is crystal clear, which is great for people who are learning the language. Grazie mille !

I always enjoy my conversations with Manish. He asks great questions and introduces new topics for us to talk about, and the hour always goes by quickly. He also has a very kind way of correcting mistakes, and in a way that doesn't disrupt the flow of the conversation. Thank you, Manish!

I have been practicing with Manish for the past few weeks while taking an Italian class in Italy. Manish has been a fantastic conversation partner. He is patient and encouraging, and he always asks great questions to make sure I get a lot of speaking practice. I can feel a big difference in my speaking over the past few weeks thanks to his help. Thank you, Manish!

My 2 sons have learnt so much from Luca’s Italian lessons . He keeps them engaged with interactive games. He has a positive attitude and very patient. We highly recommend Luca!
