Interest topicTravelReadingFilms & TV SeriesScienceHistory
As a reporter and video-maker I've been working in a number of different countries in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe. I'm also a certified Italian teacher and enjoy teaching and learning languages because it gives me the chance to learn more about the world.

Me as a Teacher
I hold a Masters degree in public and social communication from the University of Bologna, a DITALS certification released by the University of Siena for Foreigners and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate. I studied elocution too and I often help friends and coworkers learning languages. Some of them told me about italki and here i am! :)
My lessons & teaching style
I don't have a specific teaching style. It all depends on my student's needs and plans. The language you use when you travel is not the same you use when you have to move somewhere or when you just want to enjoy a book or a movie. I usually discuss such things on lesson 1 and we start working from there.

I just had my first lesson with Alberto and am very impressed. He is organized and knows how to keep the conversation moving. He puts you at ease by tailoring his approach to your level, which is important when you’re like me and don’t yet have a lot of confidence in your speaking and comprehension ability. He also types out phrases as he goes along, either to correct you or to give you new vocabulary and phrases. (He does this so quickly that you hardly even notice it while you’re talking.) This is a great resource to have after the lesson, since it gives you a ready-made study guide to review. Alberto also has lots of useful suggestions about how to improve your Italian using online and other resources. On top of all this, he’s just a very friendly person who’s encouraging and supportive. I’m really looking forward to more lessons with Alberto!

Alberto's excellent command of the English language has been very helpful to me to be able to understand the nuances of the Italian language. I have had lessons with several teachers and I would rate Alberto as being the best for me. He speaks very clearly and is easy to understand when speaking either Italian or English, which I think facilitates learning for students.

Good trial lesson with Alberto. He probed to find out my level of Italian and was always encouraging. He provided suggestions of how I might improve even if I don't choose to work with him further.
