Marco

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.

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.

Sono molto soddisfatta dell'insegnamento e posso solo consigliare Marco. È un insegnante molto esperto e mi piacciono davvero le lezioni. Julia

Excellent teacher

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.

Marco è un ottimo professore! Mi sento fortunata per aver trovato un professore che crea un spazio dove posso sentirmi libera per parlare e opinare, anche perché è una persona rispettosa. Questo aiuta molto il sviluppo e fluidità nella lingua. Lui è sempre aperto a creare nuovi metodi di insegnamento, e disposto a seguire i miei richiesti. Marco è anche un professore attento alle nostra abilità e difficoltà come studenti. Si vede chiaramente che vuole il nostro meglio.
