Carlos Capra is an excellent language teacher. Some of the qualities he brings to lessons:
-Command of the language.
-Adroitness in directing the learning process.
-Relaxed patience working at any skill level.
-Lucidity in explaining grammar.
-Organized lesson plans.
-Sense of humor.I highly recommend Carlos as an Italian teacher/coach. He’s a gifted teacher who’s personable and patient, no matter what your skill level is.
I have been taking Italian lessons form Carlos for a year and a half. Previously, I took Italian at a university. I did well academically, but was frustrated about my ability to communicate. Carlos is the best teacher by far that I have come across, because he immediately sees your strengths and weaknesses and alters his approach accordingly. What he offers is far more than just someone to speak Italian with – you will learn Italian culture and are sure to improve your Italian. You don’t need to look any further for an instructor, Carlos is the best.
Short of enrolling in one of Carlos’ classes at the University, this is the way to go. He’s very flexible in his style of teaching and builds on each concept learned. He mixes writing, speaking and listening so that the student becomes aware of how Italian “really” sounds. The student also has opportunities to see Italian films as well as casual conversation time. I DO recommend him to anyone wanting to learn Italian. If you’re planning a trip to Italy, give yourself a few months to learn. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I’ve taken many language classes, and Carlos’s classes (at UT Austin) rank at the very top. He’s got a great teaching style and cares very much about the success of his students. As long as you’re willing to do your part in the learning process, you’ll have a great time in his class. Learn from one of the best; you won’t regret it.
I am thrilled to be taking Italian from Carlos. Where many teachers complicate the learning process, he brings simplicity to his teachings, making learning Italian a complete joy. He is patient, and thorough with each lesson. I have benefited greatly from my lessons with him. I recommend him to people of all levels of Italian study.
