StefaniaFrom Louise (5/5): Stefania is an excellent tutor. I have only been learning Romanian for around 4 weeks and already have established and retained a lot of skills. Stefania creates challenges, sets homework exercises and helps you to learn outside of the box. I have tried to use online resources - videos and audiobooks, but it doesn't work as well as the 1-2-1 sessions. The instant feedback helps to solidify the learning process and create the neural connections necessary to embed the language in real time.
Reply from: Stefania: Cu o studentă cu multă motivație, este întotdeauna o plăcere!
Mulțumesc foarte mult pentru feedback.

From Lindsay (/5): I cannot recommend Stefania highly enough. She is an excellent tutor and as someone who has struggled to learn languages in the past I am amazed at how quickly I am learning. She is always incredibly well prepared and engaging and her approach is structured and builds each week on the previous week. I really enjoy our lessons.
Reply from: Stefania: Do not underestimate your own motivation, Lindsay !

From Sue (/5): Stefani has made a good impression on the family and is providing excellent support for her student
Reply from: Stefania: Many thanks, Sue!
From Mike (/5): I have had three lessons with Stefania so far and am very happy with them. My primary goal is to be able to have conversations with my Romanian partner and her family. I have tried to learn Romanian from books and apps on my iPhone/iPad, all of which improved my understanding of the language, but they failed to get me to the vital creation stage of learning a language. I asked Stefania to focus on this aspect and right from the start throughout the lessons she has forced me to create words and sentences frequently, which is exactly what I need.
I would recommend Stefania to anyone looking to learn Romanian, she gets the job done.

From Steph (/5): I had a fantastic first lesson with Stef last week and feel like I've learnt loads! It was a really enjoyable and fun lesson, and I'm looking forward to having my next one. Stef is lovely and a good teacher, she's got some good teaching techniques and the lesson was at just the right pace for me.
Reply from: Stefania: Oh, thank YOU ! … but don t forget that you have a good sharp mind and having a good memory helps a bit in language learning.
So it was easy for me to be a good teacher. its a half and half job.
