Quick Story
Ciao! I have been teaching various subjects for more than 15 years, especially Italian and English Language, Latin, History and Geography. I started teaching online in 2020 because of COVID-19 and the high demand for Italian language lessons pushed me to specialise.
After 30 years of life in different areas of Italy, I now live in Australia with my wife (who is also a language lover with a degree in Italian and Chinese) and our daughter, who is growing up bilingual.
As to my education, I graduated from Classical high school, completed a Bachelor's Degree in History and a Master's Degree in Geography.
I have spoken English all my life; I have done both TOEFL and IELTS, and my current level is between C1 and C2; over the years I have travelled regularly to England, US and Canada.
My Spanish is also pretty good and this allows me to teach Italian language to Spanish speakers as well.
I filmed this video in April 2020 when I started teaching Italian online. In the video I introduce myself and talk about my background and teaching method. Some of the time I talk in English, and some of the time in Italian.
My method
My method of teaching is based upon a complete and balanced approach to the language. According to the student's needs, I provide detailed explanations of Italian grammar, culture and history; moreover, I believe it is fundamental to familiarise the student from the beginning with the listening, the reading and the pronunciation of the language (conversation for more advanced students).
Do you want to learn Italian really well? I'm ready, it's up to you now!
