Ciao a tutti!
👨🏫 My name is Gianluca, I was born in northern Italy and now I'm living in Turkey. I've been teaching Italian to more than 300 students for the past 3 years.
💼 I have a CEDILS certificate to teach Italian to foreigners. My BA is in Cinema, Arts and Music at DAMS university in Bologna. I have a background in art photography and writing articles and poems.
💃 One of my hobbies is foreign languages and I'm currently learning Turkish. I also love writing and I'm now writing my first novel. Hiking and camping made me realize how much nature is important to me.

Me as a Teacher
My main goal is to make the students feel comfortable.
Google Docs with the content of the classes will be provided so you can look at them and use them for your own practice :)
I wrote stories based on grammar topics that will help you contextualize abstract concepts.
Conversation, reading and writing are very important to me because they help learners immerse in the language.
My lessons & teaching style
My students are of all levels and I can effectively adapt my classes to make them speak Italian from day 1.
In our first class we will get to know each other and establish a plan for your learning journey.

Ci sono tanti insegnanti d'italiano sul Italki, ma Gianluca ha qualcosa in piu' rispetto agli altri. Ha la voglia e la pazienza di scrivere ottime appunti nel google doc, creato da lui apposta per me. Dopo ogni lezione posso aprire il mio documento e ripassare ancora una volta tutte le espressioni nuove, tutte le regole grammaticali nuove. Gianluca, ti ringrazio tanto, perche' nonostante io parli bene, tu trovi sempre qualcosa di nuovo per farmi imparare. Non vedo l'ora della prossima lezione! A presto!

Gianluca is super man: he can efficiently type notes of what is being discussed during the lesson in a very clear and organized way. He is not just a native speaker but really understands the italian language with all its nuances. To learn a language that has 21 tenses like Italian, you really need a teacher like Gianluca.

Anche oggi è stata un'ottima lezione con Gianluca! Abbiamo parlato sui affiti brevi in Italia ed anche se l'articcolo che abbiamo letto era abbastanza difficile, Gianluca ha delle spiegazione sempre eccelenti!

Another fantastic lesson with Gianluca! He is by far the best instructor that I have had here on Italki. He has created a google document that he makes notes on during each lesson so I can easily go back and review what we have discussed. He provides interesting assignments and reading materials, always targeted to whatever subject I'm currently working on . I highly recommend him!

Gianluca è un insegnante meraviglioso e motivante, con un sacco di pazienza. Parla in modo chiaro e a un ritmo perfetto per me. Le sue lezioni sono sempre interessanti e spiega i concetti in un modo che posso capire. Sono molto grato di avere Gianluca come mio insegnante.
