Due to med school I had to reduce the amount of hours I can teach on Italki, sorry ๐
โ๏ธ Hi everyone, I'm Antonio and I'm 30 yo.
I'm a polyglot and language nerd, I'm a native Italian ๐ฎ๐น and Sicilian speaker, I'm fluent in English ๐บ๐ธ, Spanish ๐ฆ๐ท, French ๐ซ๐ท and I speak some Portuguese ๐ง๐ท.
๐ I'm a med student and lived for a while in the UK and Germany. My hobbies include training MMA and BJJ, reading, traveling, listening to music, and playing chess, also, I'm part of Mensa. I'm sure we'll find something to talk about!
๐ I'm open-minded, I love traveling, and experiencing different cultures and lifestyles. What's your next trip?

Me as a Teacher
๐ I'm a professional but also a very relaxed teacher. Learning a language shouldn't feel like something hard to achieve, it should feel natural, easy, and fun. I can guarantee that during my lessons you will feel happy and relaxed!
๐ฌ During my career I've been teaching other subjects like biology, chemistry, maths, and physics. Therefore I can teach you both medical Italian and also some other technical terms of the scientific field.
๐ฅ Specialized in conversational lessons, medical Italian, and students who want to take their Italian to the next level.
My lessons & teaching style
๐ค During my lessons I will use different methods according to the students' needs and expectations. There's not a universal way that works for everybody so we will find together what's best for you.
๐ฃ๏ธ I want you to learn Italian and Sicilian in the most natural way possible, therefore conversation, pronunciation, and listening are the most important things to me. Grammar is the foundation, but then we need to move on and start to practice the "real" Italian so that you would be able to hold a conversation if you ever come to visit Italy.
What are you waiting for? Book a lesson with me! ๐

I have been doing weekly conversation lessons with Antonio for about a year to try to revive Italian that I learned many years ago in college. Antonio pushes you to try to speak to your best capability while also being patient and understanding when it takes a little while to spit out something that's not quite entirely correct. He also speaks perfect english, so I feel like we can really get to the true meaning of what I want to express instead of needing to simplify or generalize my thought in order to communicate (very helpful). I've learned and re-learned so much from him over the past year and have gained so much confidence in speaking Italian with others that I do it daily--something I would not have imagined possible even just a year ago.

It was clear to me from the first lesson that Antonio has a natural talent for teaching! He effortlessly challenges his students while maintaining a fun and stress-free environment. It is clear that he cares for his students and wants to aid in the learning process in any way he can. He provides great explanations, examples, and documents to help with grammar & vocab. His lessons are well-rounded and I end each lesson with new and relevant skills. He gives in-depth answers to any questions and makes sure that I understand concepts before moving on. He pushes me out of my comfort zone to make sure that I maximize my learning during our lessons. He is a very patient & understanding person and I have learned so much already from his lessons! He's truly a fantastic teacher!!
