Friendly and Experienced Romanian Tutoring for All Ages and Levels since 2002

I have been getting Italian tutoring with Raluca for almost a year. I've learned so much from her easy style of using workbooks, handouts, and gradually reading stories when I had enough vocabulary knowledge. I've tried online apps to learn Italian, and you truly don't get the hands-on experience that Raluca gives. Her schedule is so flexible; I've even made daily changes when my job has gotten in the way of our tutoring time.

Nothing but praise for Mrs. Berger! I'm studying German with her, and it's been, I think a little over a year. She's engaging and always friendly, challenges me, and adjusts so well to the concepts I struggle with. Really appreciate her flexibility too. I've come a long way under her tutelage!

I highly remommend Raluca for all ages.
Several members of my family took classes with her at different levels. And we keep using her. My 9-year old is taking classes with Raluca for several years already to mantain his Romanian. As an adult and a non-native speaker, I took it as well, and went over yearts from complete novice to being able to read normal fiction books.

I began working with Raluca in 2022 after my first trip to Romania. At the time, I only knew a few words and phrases and had no understanding of the grammar. Since then, I’ve returned to Romania many times, and with Raluca’s guidance, I’m now able to have real conversations with both family members and strangers. I’m not someone who naturally picks up languages, but Raluca has consistently met me where I am and helped me grow from there.

- I found Raluca based on a simple google search. The company I work for wanted me to learn German to continue growth within the organization. The owners of the company insisted on “in person” tutoring sessions. We met at a local Starbucks, and I’ve been taking lessons with her for over six months now.

-Raluca is truly second to none! I’ve never learned a second language and was skeptical if I’d even be capable. (I’ve made several attempts in the past without success). After only two weeks, I was starting to put together short sentences and understand my native speaking German colleagues! What differentiates Raluca from all other teachers is her passion, motivational encouragement and lesson homework which holds you accountable. I also really appreciate how flexible she is with her lessons. I travel often for work and you never know when flights change. Raluca works with her clients and what I love most is she never makes you feel like it’s an inconvenience for her to switch days or times! Incredible customer service! Don’t waste your time and money anywhere else-lessons with Raluca are pure gold!

-As far as shared experiences-we’ve had so many. Shes helped me grow as a person beyond learning German!

Raluca has been my Italian teacher for 10 years. I have recommended her to many people because of her excellent skills and in-depth knowledge of the language. She is a "people person" and relates well while instructing children to older adults, like me. She will be a STAR for your organization.

I have had the pleasure of working with Raluca for the past 5+ years. She has been an absolute delight. She is patient, extremely knowledgeable and punctual to all of our zoom classes. She is also flexible with class times (which include weekends) and accommodating in the event my schedule changes. With her I have learned a lot. I always look forward to our calls. I highly recommend her!
