Hi, my name is Luigi and I was born and raised in Veneto, a region in the North East of Italy where the wonderful city of Venice is located. I currently live in a small town but I traveled most of my life due to my career in hospitality and especially aboard cruise ships. I had the privilege to visit places all over the globe and meet (and practice foreign languages with) amazing people of very different cultures. I've always been a nerd at heart, though, and my fondness for IT in general is reflected by my passion for competitive videogaming.
Me as a Teacher
If there's one thing that gives me joy is talking about languages, their grammatical peculiarities, the culture they originate from and finding similarities with Italian. The only other thing that comes close is being able to communicate proficiently in a foreign language while learning something new in the process. Listening, repeating, speaking, practicing and writing are all key to the learning path and I'll commit to adjust our sessions to whatever method suits you the most.
My lessons & teaching style
Learning is FUN and fun comes from LEARNING.
Depending on your starting level, we'll find together what works best to get results from day one. Be it grammar, pronunciation, fluency and advanced text reading, I'll make sure that YOUR goals and expectations remain our main focus throughout the session. A casual, low pressure environment where you can feel comfortable in expressing yourself in a new language is MY goal.

I am halfway through my first package with Luigi, and have found the lessons so far to be perfectly adapted to my needs. Luigi is easy to talk to and very good at explaining the subtle differences between alternative ways of phrasing a particular thought. I also find it helpful that he is familiar with multiple languages and can draw instructive comparisons and contrasts among them. Highly recommended.

Luigi is a natural teacher. He tailors your session to your goals, and ensures that you reach those goals easily. Our sessions are a combination of conversation and grammar. Afterwards, I feel secure that my Italian is on point and current. If you are looking for an Italian tutor, Luigi is your best choice.

I have been taking lessons from Luigi for almost a year. We talk about a broad range of topics, and as a result, my vocabulary and ability to converse in Italian have improved immensely. Luigi is extremely engaging, friendly, and patient. He is great a creating an environment where I am not afraid to make mistakes: he strikes a good balance between gently correcting and encouraging. Another thing that I really appreciate about him is that he follows up on questions that come up during our sessions, often sending an answer or insight via message mid-week. It really shows that he cares about his students’ learning. If you are looking to improve your Italian, I definitely recommend you try a lesson with Luigi.

I really enjoyed my first conversation with Luigi. He's a really good guy, very relaxed and down-to-earth. We were able to converse just as any two people would have in-person, about a wide range of topics: family, careers, traveling, cultural and linguistic interests, politics, and economics. Luigi smiles easily and so throughout the lesson I felt very comfortable. I'd be happy to have more lessons with Luigi. Thanks so much, Luigi!
