Having studied Italian with a number of teachers in a variety of settings, I can honestly say that Patrizia has created one of the finest learning experiences that I have encountered. Her love of teaching and dedication to her students is highly evident in the quality of instruction that she provides as well as in the unique and interesting materials that she selects as an aid to learning. Thank you Patrizia for a truly fun, informative and satisfying experience that has encouraged me to continue with my Italian studies.
