I would highly recommend Jane Froehlich as an Italian tutor. She continually prepares stimulating lessons and personalised courses, which can reflect your personal interests. For example, I am currently learning Italian vocabulary, which may be used by a Director in a theatre to further my professional skills as an Opera Singer. Whether you are a novice or wish to advance your Italian language skills, Jane Froehlich is a dedicated teacher, who will help you to meet your personal aims.
I have had 18 months of intermediate Italian lessons with Jane and I was impressed from my first lesson. As an adult, I have found learning a new language very challenging but she made it interesting and used many different techniques in the lessons to keep engagement. I felt month by month I gradually built up my language skills in a sensible and stepwise manner retaining the acquired knowledge. Excellent value for money and would highly recommend lessons with Jane.
I studied Italian with Jane for nearly 4 years and made huge progress during that time. I enjoyed my lessons which were well structured with lots of grammar drills, but also general conversation in Italian about everyday matters. I went to Lucca on a study trip a couple of years ago with Jane and a small group of students, and it was fun practicing my spoken language as well as visiting beautiful sites in Lucca, going on outings to a vineyard and a neighbouring town, and not least eating gorgeous Italian food. I can highly recommend Jane as an Italian teacher.
I have studied Italian with Jane Froehlich for 6 years. She is meticulous in her preparation of lessons with emphasis on grammar. I very much approve of her teaching methods. She also, in my experience, can stimulate interest at higher levels encouraging an interest in Italian literature.
Jane loves her languages, understands them well and is very aware of her students’ learning pace. Consequently, her Italian classes are always well prepared, well paced and enjoyable.
My comprehension and conversation abilities in Italian have improved immensely since taking one to one classes a year ago. Her teaching methods are very thorough and I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about learning a language.
I have had a beginners’ course and also private lessons in Italian, both very enjoyable. Jane has boosted my confidence when speaking abroad, so I don’t look (too much) like the tourist in the restaurant and with her help I even negotiated discounts in the shops.
Having joined Jane’s classes as a complete novice almost seven years ago and have found them extremely rewarding. Her teaching style and support in encouraging me through the challenges of the intricacies and structure of the language has been invaluable in becoming more confident in developing conversational skills. The opportunity to work in a small group has also been tremendously helpful, and fun, as was the summer school in Lucca. Thank you Jane.
I enjoyed Jane’s evening classes so much, that she was the teacher of choice for my wife and I to have private lessons in Italian. We have been doing these for a year. Jane has improved our Italian immensely through well thought out lessons, designed to meet our needs. We enjoyed our private lessons so much; we then joined a conversation group with 4 other students which further helped our development. And now we have just completed a 5 day immersion group in Lucca with Jane, the other students and a very good local Italian teacher. We go skiing in Italy in January and we know the Italian family we stay with, will be amazed by how much we have improved!
