Очень благодарна Фабио за курс подготовки к экзамену. Он сумел в краткий срок систематизировать мои знания и раздожить так сказать « по полочкам». У него своя индивидуальная методика, которая мне очень подошла.
Фабио не только лучший учитель в Сан ремо но еще и очень приятный и хороший человек.
Grazie mille Fabio. Consiglio.

Фабио и все преподаватели школы на самом деле искренне стараются что бы ученики добились хорошего результата. Это очень подкупает и дает дополнительную мотивацию заниматься и развиваться. Высокий профессионализм это само собой. Отдельно хочу отметить две ключевые для меня разницы в подходах школы Фабио и других: 1. Без постоянной разговорной практики нет смысла учить грамматику и лексику. Фабио делает на это упор с самого начала что бы разговориться, при чем с носителем 2. Преподаватели, имея большой практический опыт, уже знают какие темы и разделы вызывают наибольшие сложности у студентов в силу разницы в языках, и делают больший упор на проработку этих моментов. В общем всем всем всем рекомендую.

One of the best instructors you will find in the entire region, lessons doesn’t seem like lessons, and you end up speaking the language you want. Would recommend 10 out of 10

Learning Italian with Fabio Boera has been an amazing experience! In just a few weeks he has simplified so many rules that I once found so daunting.
He created an intimate atmosphere and we all had fun learning!
Many thanks Fabio!

Der Kurs bei Fabio hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Vor Ort konnte ich Erlerntes direkt in der Praxis üben und so eine Bildungsaufenthalt mit besonderem Flair kombinieren. Besonders gelungen fand ich die Mischung aus modernem Unterrichtskonzept und Kulturprogramm. Ich die kann diese Kurse sehr empfehlen.

Unsere beiden Töchter haben in den Pfingstferien einen einwöchigen Kurs bei Fabio belegt und mit großer Begeisterung besucht. Wir geben eine 100% Empfehlung für Fabio und das centro FDA. Die Methodik des Unterrichts ist sehr ausgefeilt und nah am Lerner, neben Einheiten in der Klasse mit Frontalunterricht und interaktiver Partnerarbeit runden jeden Schultag interessante Unterrichtsgänge ab, die es den Lernenden ermöglichen, das frisch Erworbene gleich live anzuwenden. Zusätzlich wird so die Motivation gesteigert und das Verständnis für Italien, seine Menschen und seine Kultur gefördert. Das ist ein einzigartiges Konzept, das absolut und sicher zum Ziel führt.
Die Schule ist im Zentrum von Sanremo gelegen, an einem der bekanntesten Plätze, direkt am Markt und der berühmten Einkaufsstraße Via Palazzo. Vor der Schule befindet sich eine entzückende Bar, in der uns das allmorgendliche Frühstück schnell zur lieben Gewohnheit wurde - dort trifft man täglich die selben Menschen und rasch entspinnen sich Gespräche.
Fazit: Was Didaktik und Lernerfolg anbelangt, hat das centro FDA unsere Erwartung weit übertroffen, wir sprechen für diese Schule eine absolute Empfehlung aus.

COMPLIMENTI A FABIO

A heartfelt thank you to Fabio Boero, my wonderful and brilliant local teacher, a true Sanremesi.
Fabio was the most patient teacher, charming, intelligent and intuitive in dealing with my daily drama in doubting myself. Fabio has been a total gem in the lead up to the final exam CILS, C1. Because of the difficulty of this exam level I had reasearched many schools for over one year and I had travelled all the way from my home country to study locally. It was clear to me that I needed one-on-one lessons.
In comparison and in what I could see online about the Fabrizio de André-school and Fabio‘s teaching I was convinced that it would be my best choice.
Even better still, the prices were much more economical than in other schools.

Fabio did the most indept repetition of what is truly a maze, whilst giving me the best taste for the Italian language with his unique teaching method. As part of the lessons and to learn more about the Italian culture he has shown me beautiful local places and stayed CALM for me, when I had ‘exam nerves‘.
If you ever think of learning Italian, just for fun or for professional reasons, I can only recommend Fabio and his school.
I have been studying Italian for 7 years and it is really important that at the start one has an encouraging and motivated teacher who sees his students with their individual needs.
Fabio Boero is one of those teachers, in fact, he is one in a million! He goes out of his way to explain the grammar and difficult aspects of the Italian language in a unique and simple way, a method which he has refined in over ten years of didactics.
He is patient and kind and he really cares that his students do well and that they are also having a good time enjoying beautiful Liguria.

What do I need Italian for? I have asked myself that question many times! And more so during times of study when I had my doubts how to survive and pass an exam that has five different parts and takes several hours to sit.
It started with a love for the language and a desire to fully connect and amalgamate with the people, culture and customs of Italy, a country that has fascinated me since my childhood.
Over the past few years I have found new friends in Italy and also in my home country, who share this love for language, people and history.
And that is what life is about, we are here to make the most of it and share with others.

Grazie infinite, Fabio.
Un vero ringraziamento per una grande e unica esperienza di apprendimento.
