I would definitely recommend Carla who is a native Italian speaker with a superb command of English and has no problems with colloquialisms, idioms and expressions. She is very upbeat and easy to understand. Her lessons are tailored to the individual and her patience is never ending. She makes learning a language fun and it is always a pleasurable experience.

I have been learning Italian with Carla for about 7 years, she is a brilliant teacher and I would highly recommend her at whatever level you are at. I started with v little knowledge and she has made learning fun using various means, and media. I look forward to my chats. Val

After a friend’s recommendation, Carla has taught me Italian for the past five years. In her teaching she combines gentle encouragement with targeted identification of further areas for study. She is equally proficient in explaining difficult grammatical concepts as engaging in lively conversation practice. Her lessons are always enjoyable as well as informative.

Learning Italian with Carla is inspiring. My love for the language has grown ten-fold due to Carla’s understanding and adapting to my learning needs.

I can’t recommend Carla enough; her professionalism was evident from our first meeting. Being patient, encouraging as well as being well equipped with access to multiple and changing resources.

I feel more confident about my Italian and my ability to learn, because Carla is a fabulous, first-rate teacher.

Carla's teaching style means you’re stretched without realising it. Things are explained in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Also, she endlessly patient and encouraging. So pleased I found her.

I have been taught by Carla for several years, first at Bath College when I attended evening classes in Italian conversation, and now one to one online. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is extremely skilled as a teacher in judging what level of conversation, grammar, vocabulary, expressions etc she uses with me, and in her suggestions for work, if I want it. Her love of language, Italian and English, is obvious. She is professional, kind, inspiring, encouraging and knowledgeable.
