Two Good Friends: Travelling with your partner or a good friend?
Learn Italian together and get more out of your Italian travel experience.

  • Order your favourite gelato with confidence
  • Buy train tickets, tickets to a gallery or museum
  • Asking locals for advice about eateries, directions, and more
  • Italian customs and etiquette
  • How to get out of a speeding ticket (just kidding, I can’t help with that one!)

As a fellow language teacher I feel well-placed to recommend Francesca and her numerous talents. In addition to teaching you her native language, she will take you on a virtual tour of Italian civilisation, history, geography, art and culture. Enjoy her lessons!

Katy

Group Class, Vancouver, Canada

She is patient, finds clever and practical way to explain new or confusing grammatical concepts, and makes every lesson fun and effective. I feel much more confident in my skills and will certainly continue with my Italian studies. Thank you Francesca!

Elina

Canada

Francesca has lots of patience, energy and good humour. As I travel a lot, online lessons are very handy and she makes every effort to accomodate the sometimes quite different time zones. I highly recommend.

Alison

Group Class, New Zealand

Francesca is an excellent Italian teacher. Learning is structured, so you are led on a journey through the Italian language, and before you know it you are speaking more and more Italian!
