I have been taking private one-on-one lessons with Paul for a couple of weeks now. We do a weekly two-hour lesson, which I highly recommend! Paul is a great Italian teacher. He is very patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have studied Italian for many years since elementary school, but needed a refresher. We spend the first half of our lesson having a conversation about day-to-day things, Italian culture, latest news in Italy, etc. He is actually Italian, which makes all the difference. The conversations/speaking practice creates an "immersive" experience. We then spend the other half of the lesson going through grammar, vocabulary, homework, reading, etc. He provides real time feedback and corrections, which I love and help me improve. I would recommend him to anyone trying to learn Italian as a beginner or to someone more advanced, such as myself. Learning a different language should be fun. You don't want to be stuck with a boring teacher. Paul is definitely a fun and high energy teacher. Take his lessons now!

I've been taking Italian lessons with Paul for 4 months, and plan to continue. He is an excellent Italian tutor. He uses a variety of methods to teach, including writing, speaking, book examples and creative examples. He is patient yet pushes me to improve, which I really appreciate. He's non-judgmental, answers all of my questions (no matter how silly), and carefully corrects my mistakes. Learning a new language can feel so vulnerable, but he makes me feel comfortable enough to make mistakes, ask questions and actually enjoy the learning process.

I scheduled a trip to Italy last summer for vacation. The last times I was there, I couldn't communicate with locals and wasn't able to ask for basic suggestions on places to eat and what to order, and because of this, I kept ending up at the same "tourist traps". This time I planned in advance and took 6 months of Italian lessons with paul to help me prepare -- so I didn't feel so nervous engaging with locals and asking for help/suggestions.
What a difference it made! The trip was one of the best I've had to Italy because of it! I was able to communicate with locals, they respected my effort and I was rewarded with experiencing Italian culture in a way I haven't before. I had great conversation from my practice with Paul. Highly recommend doing this if you plan on going to Italy.

Paul is a dedicated teacher who is passionate about what he does. He is very patient, attentive and takes every opportunity to help his students improve (that includes lots of diligent correction in an encouraging way!). His lessons are well-structured, tailored to individual needs and very engaging. It has been effective and fun to learn Italian from Paul.

I am so impressed with Paul's teaching style as I learn Italian! As an educator and speech/language therapist, I so appreciate his calm, patient and positive approach. My confidence is steadily growing thanks to Paul's clear way of explaining a new language to me. Most importantly, he keeps the lessons so engaging and fun, that the time flies by! I highly recommend taking lessons with Paul if you want to learn from a pro!
Paul is the best English teacher I have ever had. Besides being kind and friendly, he frequently corrects you to help you improve, highlighting the nuances of English that are most useful for speaking fluently and writing professionally. Highly recommended for everyone, and especially for Italian students, since he speaks the language perfectly.
