“Before being a teacher, Ioana is an extraordinary woman, very involved and serious, the true meaning of the expression “approccio pratico.” She makes very good connections and parallels with the Romanian language, with etymologic explenations. She adapts her teaching style to each student and takes into account each one’s pace. If I used to think that Italian was a difficult language to learn, now I can’t get enough of it. Grazie mille, Ioana, hai un cuore d’oro! :)”
“My experience with Ioana was extremely valuable, and I believe that no one else could have prepared me so well in such a short time. She guided me step by step, adapting the exercises to my level and to my goal of obtaining the C1 certificate. With her help, I passed the exam and took an important step towards my dream of practicing medicine in Italy. In addition, our communication was natural and open, and I could ask for clarification whenever I had questions, without hesitation. I highly recommend her.”

“Ioana’s Italian lessons are very well organized and effective. I really like that she is serious and consistent: once we set a goal, we work in a clear and structured way to achieve it.

I prepared with her for the CILS C1 exam and, although the time was relatively short, I felt that I made the most of it through our sessions together. She had the right techniques and knew exactly how to manage time so that we could work efficiently and focus on what mattered most.

I appreciate that she identifies the things I don’t know well enough and we focus on those aspects.

What I like most is that the lessons are personalized for me. She doesn’t follow a fixed template, but adapts everything to my needs, which makes the learning process much more efficient and enjoyable”

“Ioana struck me as professional, committed, serious, and direct. I liked the fact that she made me take responsibility through the assignments she gave me; this meant I had to make time for Italian even during busy periods. I also appreciated that she was interested in making the most of our time together, correcting my homework in advance and focusing only on the areas where I was making mistakes. The materials she prepared summarized the most important points from each lesson and were organized in a drive that I could access whenever I needed. Ioana always gave direct feedback, so I knew what to expect on exam day. I confidently recommend her to anyone who wants to prepare for the CILS exam.”
“My experience with Ioana was very good. Throughout our lessons, she knew how to organize her time and the information she taught so that I could study and practice as much as possible. She knows the Italian language down to the smallest details.”
