Some reviews and comments from students that have attended Nicola's Italian classes here at LSA

" Nicola is an excellent tutor. I joined the class with a few basic phrases and finished as a very confident beginner, she has encouraged us all the way, sending daily phrases etc. I definitely have enough Italian now to get by in a a holiday in Italy. Looking forward to the next level of classes starting and getting to learn more Italian"

"Nicola genuinely cares for her students and adds a a sense of fun to her classes. I'm looking forward to continuing my studies with her."

"I am delighted to have successfully completed my Introduction to Italian with you Nicola. It’s amazing how much we can learn, as adults, when we have a conducive learning environment and competent teacher as yourself. Your teaching style was relaxed but far-reaching and has equipped me with the confidence to speak Italian at my upcoming break in Italy. The class content; a mixture of vocabulary, verbs, vernacular words and phrases for day-to-day travel, is a toolkit that will be invaluable to me. An unexpected touch was the inclusion of Italian Culture which really is intrinsic to an appreciation for the language and future travel."
