About

Many thanks to you, Fabio, for this wonderful journey, I am glad to have the opportunity to participate in your English learning project, I truly appreciate every effort you have made to my homework, you listen to my needs and adjust your methods for me throughout the process, you’re humble and friendly, I feel like learning English with a real friend rather than a teacher, each feedback you gave to me helps me and your encouragement inspires me a lot, additionally, I learn more than just English from you but also your attitude towards life, you have good impact on me. Learning English in a non-English speaking environment is really grinding and challenging, I am happy to know you as a supportive companion on the way. I will keep trying for sure, and I know this valuable experience will support me permanently.

“Fabio’s feedback guides me towards a clearer vision of myself” -I’m a non-native teacher and sometimes I feel anxious and stressed about my own capacities in teaching English. I’ve decided to follow Fabio in Stolaroid Room in order to practice spoken English. I met fantastic people with interesting stories to tell and that helps me to stay motivated, set new goals, get more confident, as well as practise English consistently. I really love this kind of learning method that stimulate me to push the envelope. I’d recommend Stolaroid Room to anyone who likes to share their stories, improve English and meet new nice people.-

I decided to join the Stolaroid Room because It's a new experience for me. I've never joined a group where you have to use a photo that represents something important for you, to practice your English. I really like this free conversation class with Fabio because it helps me to speak English with people from diverse Countries and accents. I'd recommend Stolaroid Room to anyone who wants to improve their English differently from the usual way while having fun. "Fabio is an excellent teacher; at the end of the session he sends us feedback on the mistakes we made during the conversation and related suggestions for improvement."

I took part in Stolaroid book club because I was thinking that it would be a new challenge in my English-learning experience. The club fulfilled my expectations completely. Firstly, I love the book we had been reading. It’s a brilliant manual for creating good stories. Secondly, at the end of our club course, we told our stories to each other, analysed them and tried to make them better. And thirdly, to do all of those tasks, we had to read, write stories, and discuss them. I believe that it’s the best way to learn and practice English! On top of that, it was fun! So now I definitely recommend joining Stolaroid book club to improve English and meet wonderful people!

I participated in Fabio's book club and I really liked learning about storytelling in a group setting. I was looking for a way to develop my professional skills. It turns out I'll use these in my private life as well. I've already written other stories that I shared with my close ones. Learning about storytelling will improve your English but also deepen your connection with yourself and others. It was good for my English because I took notes about the book and then reused them during the call, which is great to memorize new concepts or vocab. And of course, reading an entire book in your second language is always a great accomplishment! I enjoyed sharing my understanding and views on the book with other members. This really helps when you acquire new knowledge and skills. Fabio's feedback was really helpful as not only he corrects relevant mistakes but also points out positive or well used language. When writing our personal story, his feedback was extremely useful, both regarding the form and content. The last part of the book club was really challenging: we participated in his podcast, telling our own personal story. I enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone. I'm normally quite uncomfortable hearing my accent. But hey, that's how we improve! I would recommend this book club to anyone willing to improve their English in a meaningful and special way, willing to know more about storytelling and why it matters and willing to challenge themselves.

I decided to work with Fabio Cerpelloni because I was bored of following the classic methods to learn English. I was looking for a different method, where I enjoyed the learning process. Therefore, I found it very interesting to try to improve my English through reading and a book, which helped me to design personal stories, and to write them afterwards. With this course you basically learn how to structure a story. It also helps you to see what are the main elements of the story and the points that really captivate the receiver of the story. The best thing about learning English with Fabio is that you don't really have the feeling of being in a classroom, quite the opposite. It's like having a relaxed chat with a friend.

I took part in Stolaroid's "Storyworthy Book Club" moved by curiosity. I found the book itself really interesting and full of inspirational knowledge about storytelling, not only on how to develop and tell stories, but also on how to find them in your everyday life. The online meetings helped me to carry on reading the book without procrastinating, in order to keep up with the rest of the group. Discussing the main topics of the book with the others and listening to their personal experiences brought out lots of things that I wouldn't have thought about otherwise, different perspectives and points of view. It was usefull to speak english with people from several parts of the world, it made me realise how we speak differently and it made me find out some mistakes I often make when constructing english sentences. Fabio was an awesome moderator, always keeping the conversation going and stimulating all of us to express ourselves. He was helping us correcting our language mistakes and then, at the end of every session, he was sending us a usefull report on the grammar mistakes we might have made and on the peculiar words and expressions that came out during the discussion. I would recommend a book club like this to anyone who wants to get out of the "comfort zone" and start socializing in a constructive way, discussing with others in a stimulating environment (although beeing a virtual environement) and practicing reading, listening and speaking english skills. Thanks to Fabio and to the whole Book Club group!

Storytelling is a centuries-old tradition that connects people with each other. In Fabio's offer, it also connected me personally very closely with the English language. Fabio's encouraging, friendly manner made it very easy for me to break out of my comfort zone and to take a step forward to speak English with confidence. He helped me find my typical mistakes, understand them, and leave them behind. I continue to benefit from his great support as I enthusiastically use storytelling both professionally and personally. I would recommend Fabio's awesome support to anyone who wants to make progress in learning and speaking English with self-esteem and ease in a very natural way.

First of all I got along well with you, Fabio because you are a friendly, kind person and you put me at ease which is very important to have the possibility to learn. Then I liked talking about a specific moment that was captured by my photo and finally the thing I liked the most was the very useful feedback! The feedback was really helpful !!! The thing that surprised me was that after a few days I started using the expressions in my everyday English and that I started pronouncing the words with the correct pronunciation (Fabio gave me a lot of advice about pronunciation!) In my opinion, using a picture is useful because you come back to it at that precise moment and when you speak you don't think about the mistakes but only about the emotion! I would like to advise everyone to try Fabio's method because in each lesson you learn a lot and learn words or structures already present in our vocabulary but improved and adapted to the English way of thinking! Thank you so much Fabio.

I like the he doesn't have any kind of standard of teaching like at school. And I like that Fabio don't care about the program because he cares about what we want to learn. I like that it doesn't focus primarily on errors sure it corrects errors but they are not fundamental I like that the lessons are all different each other and they are not boring. they are not lectures but they are lessons full of confrontation. and I like that we talk a lot.

Fabio's feedback was absolutely useful because he taught many things. I learned to make sentences like a native English speakers. I learned to use many useful web sites and methods for studying alone. I learned interesting ways to improve my vocabulary, especially to remember the meaning of the words, He pushed up my speaking skills as I have never done before. Last but not least: Fabio usually don't stop the student while he is speaking. At the end he give a detailed report about the mistakes and the good used expressions. This is useful because It doesn't make the student frustrate about his mistakes. Obviously at the end Fabio will give you the bill.

This program is surely an excellent way to improve my English. I’m mainly struggling with fluency. One of my goals is to develop great speaking skills and I want to be able to speak fluently. I feel that ‘4 weeks with Fabio’ can help me to reach a good part of my goal because I have to exploit all known tools to tell you a good story and It needs enough concentration to avoid mistakes. I usually use dictionaries like Longman for checking word meaning and YouEnglish for pronunciation. It’s clear that it depends on how much time I spend on each story. Fabio plays an important role with his tips. He advises me other solutions of the same sentence by exploiting phrasal verbs or just a different way to mean the same thing. He always looks for new tools and methods of teaching which sounds very professional.

He made me feel comfortable and he's able to value and encourage me. His lessons are interesting, funny and engaging, he was able to make me passionate about English.

I really appreciated Fabio's feedback because he's a very good teacher, very friendly, and his help was useful. I learned a lot with him. Like I said before, I like photography, I loved this new way to learn english trough our own pictures. It's more inspiring. Learning must be a pleasure!

Fabio helped me to be more fluent and brave .His teaching is very useful. In my opinion is very interesting to use picture . For instance It is more simple to explain when you can see memoraizing a beautiful place. Fabio is an excellent teacher because his metod to teach gives best results

I love that spirit and great attitude, enthusiasm, deep and meaningful topics for discussion. It's always a great time in friendly atmosphere of mutual acceptance and support.Absolutely. It's always professional and tactful at the same time.

I found very interesting speak about many topics not necessarily related to my job. Fabio gave me a lot of tricks and new words so I enlarge my vocabulary and corrected my grammar. I found using my photos very fun and useful. I can keep in mind the image and link to it various words. Fabio is very enterprising and he has a lot of ideas of how to place you in condition to learn without stress.
