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

I'm extremely satisfied with the comprehensive explanation of the present, past, and irregular subjunctive. The excellent overview of demonstrative adjectives. Marco provides examples, has me write sentences, and shows how to incorporate what I've learned into my speech. The structure is outstanding for continuing my learning. I eagerly anticipate many more sessions.

Marco gives lessons that I enjoy every minute of. He talks about culture, music, history, etc. And we laugh a lot. And in record time we’ve got to the point where I’m getting better in Italian.

Marco is a gifted and devoted teacher with deep grounding in languages, literature, philosophy and cuisine, among other fields. He is no doubt one of the few instructors on Italki, if not the only one, who has also published two collections of short stories.
Marco's style is relaxed and informal but also focused. He is highly sensitive to nuance and semantic resonance, and in this he is assisted by his fluency in several other European languages. In the short time since I began lessons with Marco, we have worked together on the composition and translation of a number of stories. It is a true collaboration.
Marco gives due attention to the fundamentals. Every day, he sends out a short grammar quiz for completion outside of the lessons. I do not know of any other teacher who goes to this trouble.
Marco is keenly intelligent, generous, and playful. He has all the qualities of a great teacher. I am happy to recommend him without reservation.

Today's lesson consisted of a thorough review of the last grammar rules: the subjunctive, imperfect tense, and irregular past participle verbs. Marco challenged me with quizzes to ensure my comprehension of the material covered, in addition to assigning homework. This method serves as an excellent pulse check, ensuring that I am on track and haven't missed any crucial information.
