What Nicoletta's Students say

It was such a relaxed positive atmosphere with absolutely no judgement... Nicoletta is such a generous teacher with a lively sense of humour and her enthusiasm and positivity has created a great vibe among the ‘students’ who are of all ages and backgrounds. For anyone whose nerves make them tongue tied with self doubt I’d definitely recommend it! Grazie Nicoletta x

Language for fun is exactly that with Nicoletta. I have been doing Italian for 3 years and her lessons are always stimulating and enjoyable in a comfortable environment where it is ok to make mistakes.

Nicoletta is an encouraging and helpful teacher, and her classes are great fun, I really look forward to them! On my recent trip to Florence I was amazed to see how far I had come, thanks to her great teaching.

Nicoletta is our lovely, lively Italian Language For Fun Tutor. She is always friendly, helpful & supportive to each student in our small groups. Each week we learn some new vocabulary & new grammar points according to the LfF programme & put it into practice through spoken & written exercises. During Covid lockdown she took us onto Zoom classes which has been great & really helped those of us in prolonged social isolation/lockdown to stay in touch & keep on learning Italian. Grazie Mille Nicoletta - una professoressa magnifica !!

I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the Italian course. I feel that I am increasing in confidence each week and am constantly amazed at what I am now able to say - when I started the lessons I couldn't even count to 5 in Italian! You are an encouraging and engaging teacher - thank you for making it all such fun. Ciao x

I’m really enjoying the Italian improvers course. It’s great fun and very informative. We have an excellent teacher and it’s lovely to learn alongside other people, who like me LOVE Italy.

Pauline Paul -

Really enjoying first course learning Italian. Great fun. Relaxed and welcoming. Will definitely continue with next course

Kim -

I’ve nearly completed the beginner’s class in Italian and can’t believe how much we’ve learnt. The lessons are fun and informative and the handouts, crib sheets and videos of the lesson content are invaluable. Each week there’s a different topic with a recap the following week. We have learnt sentence structures and vocabulary that you would actually use on a trip to Italy. Nothing about monkeys in trees � (see Eddie Izzard sketch) I’ve signed up for the next course already.
