Monica's Feedback

Monica was the first tutor I messaged and I’m so glad I did. She has been an amazing tutor and is a lovely friendly person. She is incredibly easy to talk to and keeps you on track and accountable with weekly homework. I genuinely enjoy our lessons and have learnt a lot of Italian through her. Thanks Monica!

Monica has been an excellent Tutor , really patient , good listener and takes a very practical and balanced approach with the sessions adapted to your skill levels which in turn make you feel more comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend

Monica is a fabulous tutor and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

We fit lessons in and around my work schedule and, since our lessons, I've progressed from understanding a few words here and there to being able to have proper conversations in Italian.

"I signed up to learn Italian with Monica 3 months ago. In this time, she has made what would have normally been another "task" to complete at the end of a working day into a very enjoyable and useful hobby which has resulted in drastically improving my understanding and confidence in the language.

Monica is pleasant, easy going, well organised, and clearly cares about the work she is doing. Monica's starting approach includes an introduction to the basic vocabulary as well as the structure of Italian; helping you understand the nuisances of the language so you can learn quickly and efficiently. From here, she encourages your growth in understanding by gradually guiding you through more complex exercises.

As well as providing a comprehensive lesson plan, Monica sets homework which is specific to your current stage of learning to reinforce what you have learnt. She marks then marks the homework, provides comments, and sends the homework back to you outside of lesson time to help support you. Furthermore, she is always available to contact if you have any questions or need help with anything.

She is an excellent teacher and a pleasure to work with. "

Very patient and understanding! I look forward to learning more with Monica!

Just finished my second lesson and am loving it. I really need 1:1 and Monica makes me feel confident and I feel that my understanding is already picking up. Thank you Monica!

Only had one lesson so far but, Monica was excellent, supportive and encouraging. I look forward very much to my next lesson.

Very amenable and has a very calm teaching manner. She was able to pinpoint, almost straight away, areas that needed to be strengthened. Would highly recommend.

Monica has really helped my overall understanding and speaking in Italian. She’s very kind, patient and covers everything in detail. She has even taught me a lot about Italian culture! My Italian boyfriend has noticed a difference in my skills too. Highly recommend! Grazie Monica

Monica is a fantastic tutor! Her style of teaching is very friendly and structured at the same time. She tailors her lessons to her students' needs so they can achieve their potential. I cannot recommend Monica highly enough. Thank you, Monica!

Look no further… Monica is the best Italian Tutor out there. From the moment I contacted her, she clearly understood my aims and set out a bespoke plan to help me achieve them. I struggled at university but with our study sessions, she boosted my performance in such a short amount of time that I was able to achieve a first class degree. She always went above and beyond to help me. Not only is she the best teacher, she is also extremely kind, polite and understanding. A very hard working teacher who wants the best for her students. I have had tutoring from other Italian tutors before and I can confidently say that Monica is the best out there. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Monica.

Monica was very knowledgeable about Italian language and helped me to achieve my goal of getting a job in Italy. We did lots of speaking practice in our lessons, which I would not have been able to do in a large group class.

Monica has significantly improved my Italian to the point where I can now have conversations with my Italian partner and his parents (who don't speak any English!). Her approach is structured and personalised to my level and needs, at exactly the right level of balance between being challenging and fun, and her patient and guiding learning style is really giving me more confidence to practice my Italian "out in the wild". She's an excellent tutor because not only do I learn the language itself, but also a lot about the cultural context in which the language sits—for example food and traditions—, which I believe is so important for language learning. I look forward to our lessons every week and would recommend her to anyone who's interested in learning or improving their Italian!

I absolutely love my lessons with Monica, she’s warm, kind, competent and dedicated, what more can you want?!

I have felt a lot more confident with my Italian thanks to Monica and I really enjoyed her positive and friendly attitude in lessons. She goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy and feeling confident.

Monica is providing excellent Italian tuition, quickly assessing my level to tailor our sessions and set homework appropriately. My Italian partner credits Monica with improving my Italian 'dramatically'! Grazie mille Monica!

I have been studying with Monica since January and I cannot recommend her enough. She is a wonderful and patient tutor who takes the time to explain things thoroughly and makes lessons fun!

I look forward to my lesson every week. My only regret is not taking up lessons sooner with Monica!

I feel at ease and if there is something I dont quite understand, she always takes the time to go through it. She is a very talented teacher who helps you to learn at a pace that works for you.

I would 100% recommend Monica to anyone wishing to learn Italian.

Grazie for all you do Monica!

Monica is an excellent tutor. She is kind, patient, thorough and always goes the extra mile! She has not only helped me improve my spoken Italian, but has been instrumental in guiding me in my translations of Italian literature for my PhD. I would highly recommend Monica.

Monica is a fantastic tutor.

She is a very welcoming and friendly person with a clear and concise way of explaining the complexities of the Italian language.

I am very happy with the progress I have made in the time Monica has been my tutor and can highly recommend her as a tutor.

Monica has been teaching us as a couple. She has completely grasped our aim, to be able to understand and contribute to conversation in simple Italian when we visit old friends in Italy. Monica has worked with us both very skilfully, addressing our different strengths and weaknesses, concentrating on what we need for conversation but also furnishing us with the necessary grammar and vocabulary. She is friendly but professional, keeping us on our toes with homework and different learning scenarios. We would not hesitate to recommend Monica to learners in Italian, whatever their initial level. She is a very lucky find!

Learning Italian with Monica has been such a highlight for me. Starting from not knowing the language at all I am always excited to see what we will learn each week. Monica's style of teaching is friendly, patient and she makes sure you are progressing with the language each lesson. I can highly recommend!

Monica is a very motivating and patient teacher with great teaching methods. She's helped me across a lot of different skill areas including grammar, speaking, listening and reading comprehension and always provides me with detailed feedback on any tasks that I complete. She is always happy to go over everything I need as many times as required to make sure I've understood everything properly. The lessons are set at a good pace and filled with lots of different types of activities to give lots of variety to the lessons. I would highly recommend Monica as a tutor, as the lessons are always fun and tailored to target areas for improvement.

Makes lessons fun. Quickly recognises ability (or lack of) and adapts accordingly.

Monica has really helped me with my goal to learn Italian.
Monica encourages me and explains things in an easy way which makes it easier to learn.

I would encourage anyone who is looking to learn Italian to go with Monica.

Monica is an excellent teacher and makes learning Italian fun and relevant.
We are slow learners and Monica is flexible in the speed with which she teaches us, providing teaching material that suits all our requirements.
We can thoroughly recommend her to anyone thinking of learning this beautiful language.

Really enjoying the lessons so far!

Thank you so much Monica for all the support you have given over the holidays. You have been incredibly helpful and generous with your time, both in the sessions and in preparing work in between. I would highly recommend you as a pleasant, flexible, able and conscientious teacher.

Monica is an amazing tutor that makes learning Italian fun and enjoyable. She explains things in simple ways to ensure understanding and is constantly encouraging.

Would 100% recommend!!

I have worked with many Italian tutors over the last 5 years and Monica has been the most efficient, accommodating, motivational and inspiring tutor I've had to pleasure of working with. As well as tutoring me, Monica has helped with my Italian renovation project as a translator and I couldn't have done it without her! I recommend Monica VERY HIGHLY as an excellent Italian teacher.

Monica is a fantastic tutor and always finds a way to make learning the Italian language interesting and fun. She is completely flexible in her approach to lessons which makes it extremely easy to work with her. As I am a language novice I'm really pleased to be working with Monica.

I have found Monica to be a very helpful tutor. She always tries to help and encourage with pronunciation etc,
Monica is also a very good at putting you at ease during the lessons.
I would recommend her without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Monica enough.
Her teaching style has improved my Italian so much and my confidence to keep speaking and learning means i am constantly learning new things.
The textbooks are methodically worked through and each stage is reviewed to ensure what has been learned stays learnt.
Excellent tutor!

Monica was a great Tutor! The best. She helped me so much with all my exams and gave me extra confidence. Will definitely go back!

Monica was really helpful! She's an awesome teacher helped me to translate a wedding speech in Italian. Was feeling nervous about how the speech was going to be in Italian but with Monica's help, I'm very confident.

Getting in touch with Monica to arrange a one on one class was very easy.

Thanks for the help Monica.

Thanks for the help Monica.

Monica is a wonderful teacher who makes Italian lessons fun & interesting for my children. I always hear lots of laughter & the children look forward to the lesson each week . Monica is very good with the children and reliable. I feel very lucky to have found her !

Monica has taught my 8 year old daughter Italian for the last 6 months. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds and thoroughly loves her lessons I can't reccomend her highly enough!

Monica is a very patient tutor and is very good as a tutor.

Coupled with this she is also a very nice person!

My wife is Italian and I spend all of my holidays over in Italy for the last few years, so I decided this year that I would pull my finger out and start to learn the language. This summer (2015) I found Monica and I have been having weekly lessons with her since. Within just a few weeks I already had a good grasp of the basics. A few weeks later I could read and write sentences and understand Basic conversations. I'm now at the stage where already I can actually have basic conversations and my confidence is growing. Monica has been absolutely brilliant in keeping the lessons interesting and engaging. She focuses in on areas of weakness or things that may need more practice in a way that is motivating and constructive. However, most importantly she is a really fabulous person who is patient and cares about getting the most out of her students. I can't thank her enough

Hi Monica
Thank you so much for getting my translation back to me so quickly and for keeping in touch throughout.

If I need any help in future I'm coming straight back to you!

Thanks again

I have had a few lessons with Monica. I would recomend her to anyone, I was so nervous about learning Italian but she has done a good job of teaching me at a pace that suits me.

Monica is a great teacher, I can see my progress every week and am so happy I took the plunge to take lessons. She is helpful and easy to get along with. She is extremely flexible which really helps with my work pattern.

We met Monica to discuss our needs and are now both excited to get started. She is a lovely person and very comfortable to be with and around, we feel we are in the right hands to progress our Italian. Many many thanks Monica.

It has been a pleasure to have Monica teaching my husband Italian. She has been very well prepared for the lessons and been very specific about the thing he wanted to learn. As we are moving to Italy, my husband needed intensive teaching for a short period of time and Monica arranged the lessons to fit around his wishes. He is much more confident in starting out in a new country after these sessions. I can only recommend Monica greatly for anybody who wants to learn some Italian. Monica is very dedicated and it shows that she love to teach. Best wishes for her future as a teacher.
