Cara Luisa,

I have just finished my  17 days Homestay with you and would like to express my gratitude and thanks for such a marvelous time with you in Reggio Emilia.…..I came to you with very basic Italian and made significant progress thanks to your diligent teaching and infinite patience and good humour.

Dear Luisa,

You are a terrific teacher and your Homestay Program was the perfect Italian Immersion program. I highly recommend anyone wishing for a true Italian experience to come and study with you in your home! You followed exactly the grammar and study topics I wished to cover.

Cara Luisa, There are many things I could say in English easily.... Thank you for the last two weeks for teaching me Itaian, introducing me your lovely family and companies, and spending time together.

Dear Luisa thank you a thousand times for everything – for your friendship, for the language instruction, for the many travels into the history and the arts of Italy, for introducing me to your beautiful friends, for the delicious home cooking, etc. etc.

I would recommend your Homestay courses to anyone as an excellent way to learn Italian. With total immersion in the language there is no escaping, no lapsing back into English.

I have nothing but praise for Luisa. I enrolled with Luisa for a 2-week holiday homestay inclusive of a language programme of one to one (approx 3 hours per day),

Dangira Mieliauskaite

Dear Luisa, I would once again like to tell you that I'm extremely happy to have chosen my homestay in Reggio Emilia with you as a teacher. I have never had any doubts that the best way to learn Italian is to live in Italy, among Italians.

Carissima Luisa Sin dal primo momento ho sentito una sintonia e l'ho attribuita alla tua flessibilità. Sei sempre stata con me, per le gite, per le spese, per gli studi, per le scoperte a Parma e altrove, per i momenti con i tuoi amici, per le serate sul divano con il té nelle tazze inglesi...

Alana Lam

Corporate lawyer in Londra and Hong Kong

I had a wonderful time with Luisa. I am a complete beginner and perhaps should have had more under my belt before attempting a total immersion course but Luisa is a patient teacher.

I just want to take the time to express my gratitude, and to thank you so much for all what you have done for me during my 28 days homestay at your home.

Christoph Reuter

I could have stayed at home and taken one-to-one lessons here, but in the end I decided to stay a week with Luisa to try full immersion.

Eric and Gerda Theunis

Gerda and I stayed this summer for one week with Luisa for an Italian homestay and it was really great. Homestay in Reggio Emilia is of course studying the Italian language.

David Daly

Having studied basic Italian with the Italian Cultural Institute in Dublin, my wife suggested I might consider signing up to a course in Italy.

It was really a great experience that I had twice and plan to repeat again. Beside the great way of teaching, very kind teacher, fantastic home and friendly atmosphere,it is the best place for not only learning Italian ,but also to feel Italian.

Hiroko Kaizuka

I attended Luisa’s homestay language course during Christmas in 2005. The lessons were very useful. Moreover I really enjoyed staying with her and sharing the holiday season with her nice family members in a very Italian way.

Ciao cara Luisa,
Sono a Parigi per il lavoro!

I had studied Italian in group settings at a number of schools in Italy before finding Luisa. I was ready for something one-on-one and more intensive and I didn't want to be in a touristy place where I'd hear English around me too much.

Kit Kuan Wong

Sales Manager Microsoft in Singapore

Luisa is an experienced teacher with a warm and friendly personality. She also cooks very well.

It was really a pleasant stay at Luisa's homestay in Reggio Emilia. I had the opportunity to practice Italian and to get to know the Italian daily life in an amicable atmosphere.

I had a very warm welcome from Luisa and she made me feel quickly at home. She is an excellent teacher, using patience and humour.
