Learning a new language can be both frustrating and enjoyable at the same time. Sabina finds clever ways of reducing the frustration yet making the lesson more fun at the same time. This creates an ideal learning environment. As an accredited professional language teacher, she's patient, knowledgeable, and effective. She also uses good equipment and strong internet connection so you can hear her speak more clearly. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to learn Italian with Sabina.

Sabina is an excellent teacher. She is encouraging, patient, friendly, and intelligent. She helps relieve the stress and discomfort of speaking a new language. She can switch between english and italian flawlessly to help me finish my thoughts. I highly recommend her.

I really appreciate how much she's helped me, particularly in identifying my weaknesses. Overall, I feel much more confident in my speaking skills since I started working with her. Highly recommend! :)

It was my great fortune to find Sabina on italki! She is everything one could ask for in an instructor: intelligent and kind, keenly attentive to each conversation, patient with my many mistakes, yet always motivating me to improve. As if that weren't enough, she has a great sense of humor, making each session a lot of fun. Grazie, Sabina!
