Italian lessons with certified, experienced native speaker (+10 years). Let's work on travel prep, art and culture, or connecting with family, old or new!

I worked with Nick for several months on GMAT prep, and it made a massive difference not just in my score, but in how I approached the test overall. He's great at breaking down tricky quant concepts and really nails the strategy side of things too, which is honestly where I was struggling most (timing, process of elimination, knowing when to guess and move on).

Just found out I got into my third choice program, and I genuinely don't think I'd be here without the work we put in together.

A friend recommended him about a year ago and it's been one of the best decisions I've made for my Italian. He's so patient and makes lessons genuinely fun. I had a trip to Italy coming up and he completely shifted focus to help me prepare and it paid off HUGE. I was out there having real conversations. Can't recommend him enough!

Been doing Italian lessons with Nicholas for a few months. My partner's family is Italian and I wanted to actually connect with them instead of just nodding along at dinners, so he spent sessions on the phrases and little things that matter at a family table. Made a real difference the last time we visited. Patient, doesn't make you feel dumb when you butcher a word. Would recommend if you want lessons that feel like real conversations, not a textbook.

Found Nicholas through a Reddit thread a while back and I'm so glad I did. I've been learning with him for about 6 months now and it's made a huge difference. He's really patient and doesn't make you feel dumb when you mess up conjugations for the hundredth time (which, let's be honest, happens a lot when you're learning Italian).

What really stood out was when I had a trip to Italy coming up — Nicholas basically shifted our lessons to focus on stuff I'd actually need, like ordering food, small talk, asking for directions, that kind of thing. And it worked! I could actually hold conversations while I was there instead of just pointing at menus and hoping for the best.
