Testimonials
"Of the many ways in which I have studied Italian — in classes, online and on my own — I have found in-person lessons with Daniele Pio Buenza the most enjoyable and effective. He is a master teacher, one who adapts the work to the student's needs and carefully tracks progress in the various aspects of language learning. I feel I learn faster because he focuses the time on what I need to learn in creative and efficient ways. In short, I can recommend Daniele highly to anyone who is serious about learning Italian."
Neal R.

"I can thoroughly recommend Italian lessons with Daniele. After completing a short Italian beginners course at a Cambridge college, I saw a poster for LearnIt Cambridge and decided to go to Daniele for one-to-one lessons. It was the best decision I could have made and, as my Italian in-laws can attest, the progress I made in a relatively short space of time has been incredible. Daniele is kind, funny and a brilliant teacher. He is both patient and organised and always keeps track of my progress with both grammar and conversation. He notes my weak areas and uses different activities to help me improve them. He is passionate about teaching and the one hour sessions fly by as they are such fun. I really look forward to our lessons over coffee and Daniele has become a great friend as well as my teacher and I can’t recommend him highly enough!"
"My experience learning Italian with Daniele was great! I arrived at a beginner level and Daniele was quick to notice where I needed work. He came with a study plan that suited both my needs and my time available to dedicate to Italian learning. After a year studying I feel much more confident in engaging in conversation with native speakers."
