Some Feedback:

I had the pleasure of working with Roberto at Bradfield College. A thoughtful and enthusiastic teacher he puts his students’ learning first and had a natural rapport with those he taught. His decision to launch a tutoring business makes sense given his ability to form positive relationships with language students of all abilities and I would recommend him if you are looking to learn Spanish or Italian.

Roberto was my Italian teacher for two years and he always taught with passion and enthusiasm. He had great patience with us as a class of beginners and was able to teach us about Italian culture as well as the language. Roberto’s knowledge of languages, particularly Italian is first rate and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr. Roberto Somma is the teacher everybody dreams to have. His lessons are not only informative, efficient & diverse, they spark joy into every student’s life - making it an overall enjoyable experience where you can expect to learn languages at an extremely high level. His passion & enthusiasm combined with his linguistic abilities & unique way to make everybody in his classroom feel comfortable whilst simultaneously challenged; shows exactly why he is one of the best. There are not enough teachers like Mr. Somma out there, making it even more of an honor to have been taught under him. I wish him all the best in the future & am grateful that I have had a teacher like him in my educational path.

Having worked with Roberto in the past, I have always known him to be a professional teacher and excellent pastoral tutor. Knowledgeable and liked by all. He is easy to work with and be taught by. I recommend anyone wishing to further their language skills to talk with Roberto about a future course.

Roberto's teaching style is very positive and builds up students' confidence with the language. His ability to develop all capabilities from beginners to advanced with humour and knowledge provides a very balanced approach to learning. Roberto's warmth and love of teaching with his desire to see his students succeed is applaudable. He manages to make learning fun and rewarding.

Roberto is a great teacher of Italian, well-organised, professional and supportive. Whatever your level, whether absolute beginner or more established linguist, Roberto will help you move forward confidently, channelling your interest and enthusiasm to best effect. Over the past three years or so, we have had lessons in person and are now working together happily on Zoom. Roberto always structures and enlivens our lessons with varied, topical resources but keeps the mood encouraging. He deals with potentially awkward points of grammar patiently and is meticulous in following up prep.helpfully. As an experienced academic teacher myself (of History) would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Roberto is the type of teacher you wish you had had growing up. He makes learning languages fun, accesible and relevant. He skilfully uses resources and learning methods that are engaging and that combine technology and popular culture - with confidence inducing results every time and for every pupil.
