I am a practicing physician in Scottsdale and as a youngster spoke Italian at home with my parents. I have unfortunately forgotten most of what I knew since I have had no need to speak it for over 30 years. In the past couple of years I have taken trips to Italy and plan to go again this year. Although I have some workable knowledge of the language, I felt I needed some practical experience to become more proficient. I was introduced to Davide Valenti and immediately made the decision to have him tutor me. We meet for one and a half hours weekly and he has established a college style curriculum for me, i.e. textbook, workbook, homework etc. Davide is a kind, patient (thank goodness) and very knowledgeable person. I can unequivocally and happily recommend him to anyone interested in learning the most beautiful of all languages.
