I am very satisfied with Valerio. They are extremely dedicated and always give 100% of their attention during class. While private lessons are not inexpensive, the time is used very efficiently with no wasted moments. The teacher clearly distinguishes between what I should study on my own and what is best covered in the lesson, which helps me get the most out of my learning. They are also very patient and always give me enough time to think and construct my own sentences. This has helped me improve my speaking skills and break the habit of rushing to say incomplete or poorly formed sentences. Additionally, they offer helpful tips on how to improve effectively. When I don't understand something, they explain it in clear and simple terms, which helps me gain a better understanding and makes the learning process feel smooth and satisfying.

Valerio is precise and has a talent for clarifying German language concepts. His grasp of my own mother tongue, English, is perfect, so he’s easy for me to understand. I’m surely one of his slowest students, but he has always been encouraging and patient. I highly recommend that you consider him to be your teacher, too.

Positive first lesson in German as an absolute beginner

I've been working with Valerio for around a year at this point, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to learn German, or improve the skills they already have. Since starting lessons with him, I've progressed from barely knowing any German, to being comfortable conversing with native speakers. He has also helped me to pass a B2 level exam in the language. His lessons are extremely well structured, and he always takes the time to explain the various nuances which you could never learn from a textbook. The learning environment is a great balance between working to improve while also remaining relaxed and fun, and I always look forward to our lessons. If you are looking for a German teacher or for a speaking partner to brush up on your skills, he is an excellent choice.

Parto dicendo che sono sempre stata negata per le lingue🫠studio tedesco da almeno 4 anni, ma ancora oggi faccio veramente fatica a parlarlo, persino a un livello base. Da qualche mese ho iniziato a prendere lezioni con Valerio e devo dire che mi sto trovando davvero molto bene. È sicuramente un insegnante molto competente e preparato (oltre che estremamente paziente). Nonostante per me sia ancora piuttosto difficile seguire un’intera lezione in tedesco, soprattutto considerando il mio livello di partenza, l’ora non risulta mai pesante. Al contrario, le lezioni sono piacevoli, leggere e il tempo passa davvero in fretta. Apprezzo particolarmente il fatto che Valerio non cambi mai lingua: spesso cerco di rivolgermi a lui in inglese, ma lui continua imperterrito a rispondermi in tedesco!! Ed è proprio questo approccio che trovo molto efficace. Insomma, con questo metodo sono fiduciosa che prima o poi riuscirò finalmente a imparare questa dannata lingua!🇩🇪Consigliatissimo!👍🏻

Outstanding class. Wonderful classroom manner and very conscientious. He is great about correcting my mistakes and helping me improve. Very enjoyable lessons.
