“I'm from Toronto, Canada and took Italian lessons with Lorella in Panzano in Chianti for two weeks. I knew a couple basic words in Italian before going but wanted to expand my vocabulary and get up to a comfortable conversational level. It was an unforgettable experience and one I will treasure forever.

What I especially loved about Lorella's lessons is that they are hands on. She would give me the basic tools I needed through grammar lessons and exercises and then make me apply them in practical settings.

You can't go wrong with Lorella as your teacher! She helped me reach my goal and is AMAZING!.” 

“The Italian lessons I have with Lorella are the highlight of my week!



We have fun and the lesson time flies by quickly. Lorella is patient, affirming, and able to tailor the lessons to my needs. I can now converse in simple Italian, and natives I encounter in Italy compliment me on my abilities and even my accent! I highly recommend Lorella as an instructor”

“ I think studying a foreign language is an act of self-determination, in which fear, joy and self-confidence are predominant feelings. I already knew that doing it with a foreign teacher makes it real and much funnier, but doing so with Lorella made it unique!

My family and I went to Tuscany in 2013 to meet Lorella and visit this great region. She was more than a great host and we felt at home among her friends. After studying Italian with her for almost a year, I could communicate very well with locals and have a genuine experience!

As its superb culture, Italian is a beautiful language, full of melody and poetry, and Lorella makes it easy for a foreigner to learn it and practice it through Skype, just like being there in her beautiful balcony, in front of olives and vineyards”

“I had been studying Italian on my own for over three years before I began working with Lorella via Skype. I had not had the opportunity to use in conversation the things I had learned…much less expand on them. Lorella has been so patient with me…even when my Italian brain “non funziona” (does not work). Over the past months I can see that I have made a lot of progress understanding what is being said to me and being able to express myself. I have lost the nervousness I used to have at the very thought of trying to speak in Italian. Very soon I will get to meet Lorella in person on my first trip to Italy and ….non vedo l’ora!! Thanks so much Lorella!”

“Lorella's everything you'd want in teacher - great at explaining simply even the thorniest grammatical matters, patient, and game to talk about anything under the sun (and beyond). Seriously, I'm so glad I lucked into finding her for tutoring via Skype. She's really helped me with my Italian. Plus, she's a lovely person.”

“Lorella to bardzo miła i kompetentna osoba, cierpliwy i życzliwy człowiek oraz wspaniała nauczycielka. Wie wszystko o włoskim, o okolicy, zawsze jest gotowa pomóc. Próbowałam uczyć się włoskiego w zupełnie szalony sposób - na gorąco, nieomal w przelocie, łapiąc słowa, które pozwolą mi szybko się porozumieć - i udało się. Lorella chciała i potrafiła dostosować się do mnie, do moich pytań, do tego, że najpierw chciałam opanować gramatykę, a potem mówić. Piękny jest jej mały domek na wzgórzach w Chianti i piękne są stamtąd zachody słońca - ale wspaniale było też rozmawiać z nią przez Skype i uczyć się korzystać z źródeł, którymi się ze mną dzieliła. Zdecydowanie polecam!”
