Filippo Beltrami

Filippo is hands-down the best language instructor I've ever had, across any language. I've now had several classes with him and every one is engaging and perfectly tailored to me. He chooses very interesting topics and dialogues that sound like real conversation, rather than sticking to dry textbook exercises. Nothing feels rote or boring. Instead, I end up speaking naturally and learning a lot a long the way. I'm progressing faster than I thought possible, and I'm always looking forward to the next lesson! If you're serious about learing Italian quickly and in a fun and real way, book with Filippo. I can't recommend him enough!

My first lesson with Filippo was just as I needed it to be. He understands where I am with the language, my goals and he brings it all together with a good sense of humour. A great step for the way forward. I have had successfully used italki in the past and can recommended him with confidence.

Filippo was born with a lot of patience, and he constantly encourages through praise and correction. Superb teacher!

I really enjoy my lessons with Filippo! He is so easy to talk to that the time just flies by. I like that the sessions feel personalized and relevant to me, rather than just following a generic textbook. He’s very supportive and always makes sure I understand everything before moving on. Truly an enjoyable experience every time!

Lessons are consistently engaging, and I always learn something new. Filippo readily adjusts his lessons to the student’s needs. He explains grammar, pronunciation, and syntax thoroughly, clearly lays out rules and exceptions, discusses synonyms, and offers guidance on more natural or idiomatic ways of expressing oneself in Italian. Le lezioni sono sempre coinvolgenti, imparo costantemente qualcosa di nuovo. :) Filippo adatta con grande facilità le sue lezioni alle esigenze dello studente. Spiega in modo approfondito la grammatica, la pronuncia e la sintassi, espone chiaramente regole ed eccezioni, evidenzia i sinonimi e offre consigli su come esprimersi in italiano in modo più naturale e idiomatico. Consigliatissimo! :)

Making good progress with Filippo, he really does make every lesson feel worthwhile. Fantastic teacher!
