Gianluca is a revelation. I've been studying on my own, and decided to take the plunge and do some trial lessons through Italki. Gianluca stood out straight away as prepared, engaged, and committed to my learning. He prepped and shared a Google doc which is acting as a textbook, a log of the work that we've covered so far and a prompt for future lessons. He's funny and personable, human and present, and I feel massively encouraged to have more lessons because I can already feel my confidence growing. More than that, though, there is enough structure to the conversation that I can see the ways in which I'll get better with time. Some of the (very nice and very capable) teachers I tried on italki offered to work their way through established textbooks. Gianluca's approach is much more hands-on: speaking in a much more organic (and therefore replicable and useful!) way and giving examples, learning points and helpful explanations along the way. Thanks Gianluca!

Another fantastic lesson with Gianluca! He is by far the best instructor that I have had here on Italki. He has created a google document that he makes notes on during each lesson so I can easily go back and review what we have discussed. He provides interesting assignments and reading materials, always targeted to whatever subject I'm currently working on . I highly recommend him!

Wonderful first trial lesson! Gianluca is very professional and makes the lesson fun and interactive. A+!

Gianluca is great! He speaks clearly; he explains things well; and he is a pleasure to talk with. Very helpful!

Wonderful lesson, very engaging and fun! Grazie

Excellent teacher, a real pleasure to speak to customized my lessons for me. I would recommend them to anybody looking to learn Italian in a stress free environment Grazie assai o Mille
