Me as a Teacher
With over a decade of experience, I've fine-tuned my teaching approach, crafting a personalized method that identifies each student's Italian language weaknesses. Together, we establish a tailored program, ensuring consistency and accountability in your learning journey.
Every lesson is meticulously designed to meet yr specific needs, incorporating targeted exercises and content. I'm providing a wealth of engaging exercises to keep you motivated: I leverage a diverse set of resources, including textbooks, videos, original texts authored by me, online content, and games. Having taught in private schools both internationally and within the Italian public school system, I've honed my skills
My lessons & teaching style
Flexibility, consistency, enthusiasm, accountability are the main ingredients of my lessons. Student engagement is important: I'm good to teach but I don't work miracles. We can use audio material, texts, pdf, books+ a lot of structured conversation. I work with students of all levels and I prepare for CELI and others exams. Sometimes we work on writing or discussing articles. According to the need of the student we work on: conversation, pronunciation, grammar rules, sentence construction, idiomatic sentences, writing. If that's okay with you, I 'll give you some homework to do and we'll follow a schedule designed especially for you that will allow us to see your progress

Today, I was able to hold a conversation for 20 minutes with minimal errors. Marco structured the conversation in a way that required me to use the past, present, and future tenses, along with the conditional and imperfect. I’m very satisfied with my progress! Marco is extremely thorough and ensures that I stay on track with my studies, learning, and motivation. His teaching approach is comprehensive and well-structured, making a real difference in my language learning journey. Highly recommended!

Marco is a great Italian instructor—patient, supportive, and clear in his explanations. He makes learning engaging and encourages me to improve my speaking skills. He also provides opportunities to practice Italian in different contexts, which helps reinforce my understanding and confidence in using the language.

I did numerous lessons with Marco over the last months and he is undoubtedly a marvellous teacher. He helped me both with my conversation skills but also with various grammar topics. Thanks to his excellent teaching methods, even more complex grammar areas are a lot of fun and I‘m always looking forward to our next lesson! Grazie mille, Marco!
