Hello, I'm Massimo! I am from Naples but I live in Amsterdam. I moved here after completing my Master's in Comparative Literatures and Cultures (English and Japanese). I have previous experience as freelance translator and language tutor and can't wait to share what I learned with you!

Me as a Teacher
Having experience as both a student and a tutor, I know what learning a language feels like. I am patient and understanding, and try to do the best for my students so that they can achieve their goals in the shortest time possible.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons mainly focus on conversation and oral and written production. I always give my students homework because I think it's important that they practice what we studied at home. Discussing about what we read together is also a key factor of my lessons.

I just finished my 50th lesson with Massimo and look forward to another 50 more in the coming months. Our lessons are mostly conversations that range widely from big topics on film, politics, Italian culture and the like to an exchange of personal interests and ideas with frequent detours to precise points of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax. Massimo handles it all with ease, grace, and humor. He is intelligent, inquisitive, has an obvious love for language and languages, speaks excellent, enviable English, and is unfailingly polite and courteous, a true gentleman and gentle spirit. All this makes for a pleasant, productive and stimulating setting for me to move the ball forward in each lesson toward my goal of fluency in Italian. Grazie mille, Massimo.

I have done over one hundred lessons with Massimo so I am quite knowledgeable on what it is like taking lessons with him. In short, lessons with Massimo have been one of the best investments I could have made into my Italian journey. He is a fun, engaging and patient teacher who understands what it is like to be in your shoes and is skilled in concisely explaining the finer points of Italian grammar and cultural. It helps that he is also fully fluent in English. At an affordable price and flexible schedule, Massimo is no doubt the best option for an Italian tutor here on iTalki. Thanks for all the great lessons!

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Massimo. He is very patient with me as a beginner in Italian. He has good resources available for practicing grammar etc. and adjusts his teaching style, corrections etc to each student.
Looking forward to my next lesson :)

Massimo is super friendly and nice and was very easy to talk to, answers and explains things well and he is really very approachable. Our first lesson flew by, will definitely be taking more lessons with him and would definitely recommend him for lessons. Grazie mille!
