I have been learning with Bill for almost a year now and really enjoyed every single class. Bill is a very organized, passionate and fun language teacher that for every lesson, we cover something new and also build on top of what I learned in the past. Every lesson goes by so quickly and I come out every class with more appreciation and interest in the language!

Grazie Bill! I have learned so much more than anticipated despite life getting in the way. Bill is hilarious, fun, and knowledgeable - helping you to learn with little background stories. My trip to Italy will be even better after learning some Italian with Bill.

Bill is about as good as it gets. He takes language learning seriously and creates a fun but focused environment where real progress is made to truly master this language. He is incredibly organized and his system for approaching the language is extremely efficient and simple. I have loved learning from him. Truly, this is (one of) his gifts. Thanks Bill!

Bill is a tremendous teacher both virtually and in-person. Gives the full picture of the language which has been tremendously helpful for a contextual learner. Highly recommend.

I don’t write reviews unless something spectacularly good or bad happened.My experience with Bill Savage’s language classes was spectacularly good! I learned more with Bill in two sessions then I learned in another well-known, local language school in months of group classes taught by native language speakers. You cannot find a better language teacher than Bill Savage. Customizing lessons for the learner, Bill is a madly gifted language teacher, combining an upbeat and engaging personality with stress-free interaction/repetition, and pedagogical building blocks that click together like Lego.
He also provided countless memory tricks based on pattern recognition, shaving an enormous amount of memorization time from the start.
Finally, one-on-one lessons are key for rapid language acquisition, and Bill’s private teaching fees are on par with the group classes I was previously paying for. Bravo, Bill!

If you want to learn Italian in a fun, easy to comprehend way then look no further. Coming in I had essentially no previous experience in the language whatsoever and learning a new language from scratch is daunting, but the thing about Bill that I really appreciate is that he makes learning a truly fun experience because you can tell he enjoys what he does which really makes a difference!
He doesn’t just teach you textbook Italian but also legitimate conversational Italian that you’ll hear/need/use in your travels. It’s taught in a way so you can hit the ground running when you travel and he also breaks it down in a way so that you can be really self teaching in being able to form your own natural thoughts in a new language!
Also, I really appreciate the little anecdotes of history behind why things are the way they are which makes the experience not only enjoyable but really interesting. In just a few short months I already feel like I’ve come quite a ways and I’m truly proud of myself and excited for what’s still to come!
It’s a beautiful language to learn and I highly recommend Bill without question.

Bill is the best Italian teacher ever! He is professional, extremely knowledgeable and makes learning a new language super fun! I always look forward to our lessons! I have been his student for around six months now and my Italian has improved immensely!
