Matteo Dabellonio

Matteo is a phenomenal teacher of the Italian language. Every great teacher needs the talent to understand the mind of the student, with all its strengths and weaknesses, to properly shepherd the student along in their studies. Matteo has this talent, and it will quickly be apparent to you as a student. This is especially critical for students learning a language, which is a daunting task where one must balance reading, writing and speaking. His classes present materials at the proper level of the student, yet are challenging enough to push learning boundaries. This is paired with feedback that helps you to improve. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoy his classes.

Matteo is always very kind and caring to my daughter who is at the beginning stages of her Italian journey. It can be difficult to teach a young child and keep them engaged (especially through a video call online), but he always does! We've tried other teachers in the past, but Matteo is simply the best in his style and method.

Buona leziona！

Matteo is a wonderful teacher. He is very patient with both my 7&10 year old. He has fun lesson plans tailored to their interests (soccer and all sports) and keeps them engaged. Their school in Italy has had a difficult time teaching them Italian and they dread after-school lessons, however they've been asking for more lessons from Matteo. We've gone from once a week to twice a week at their request and they're finally making headway in learning to speak Italian. Grazie Matteo!

Matteo is a great teacher, I feel more confident speaking in Italian and he gives me motivation to study.

Matteo is a great teacher. He's easy to talk to, explains meanings and concepts patiently and in detail, and I feel like my Italian is improving a lot.
