Insegnante CEDILS certificato Hello, welcome to my profile. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Fabio and I am a teacher of Italian. I have a degree in Modern Literature and Romance Philology and I have the Cedils certification from Ca' Foscari University in Venice which allows me to teach Italian to foreigners. I like my lessons to be a safe space where we can be friendly and relaxed; like a couple of old friends having a cup of coffe or tea. I'm a dynamic teacher, first I want to know you and understand what are your needs, wich is your level and where you want to go! Then we will design a unique path that will bring you to know better the italian culture and language. We will work together on the goals that you want to achieve! We will learn Italian while having fun together discovering the culture of my country. We will use real materials such as videos, films, newspaper, music and books. Through them we will discover how the language works and real Italian culture outside the stereotypes with which it is often represented. If you want to know more about how I work do not hesitate to contact me and book a trial lesson with me, I will be happy to answer all your questions. I hope to meet you soon! Best wishes.

Io faccio le lezioni con Fabio da 18 mesi. Non sono una brava studente e non mi piace studiare. Ma Fabio ha sempre fatto le lezioni personale e divertente. Lui ha molta pazienza con me. Mi fido sempre in lui. Lui è ottimo insegnante! Lui mi ha dato il coraggio di fare l’esame B1 e sono scioccata che l’ho superato. Tutto è grazie a lui! I have been taking lessons with Fabio for 18 months. I'm not a good student and I don't like to study. But Fabio always made the lessons personal and fun. He has a lot of patience with me. I always trust in him. He is an excellent teacher! He gave me the courage to take the B1 exam and I'm shocked that I passed. Everything is thanks to him!

I highly recommend Fabio, he makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I never get bored, he mixes things like reading, grammar, listening in a fun way so he makes each class so enjoyable. The time flies when having a class with him. I am so happy that I have found such a good teacher. He got a lot of knowledge and also share with you any tips that could help you to improve your performance. Grazie Fabio

My third lesson with Fabio. He continues to be patient and helpful, offering on-the-spot corrections and also acknowledging when I say something perfectly--which is not all the time, but often enough that I appreciate the encouragement. I have been reading a couple of comic books that he is very familiar with (Dylan Dog and Rat-Man), and it has been very rewarding for me to describe what I understand about each of them and to have him laugh with recognition.

This guy is pure gold! I hit the jackpot when I found a teacher who is at the same time so very good at his job and so likeable - the magic combination. Highly professional, experienced and intelligent; wonderfully supportive and encouraging; adept at gently helping and responding subtly to your wishes and needs...and all this combined with the friendliest, most winning personality. Learning with him is the greatest fun and a genuine pleasure.

I had another lesson with Fabio after a two-week break while he was on vacation. I enjoyed it as usual. He allowed to me to speak without interrupting, including letting me struggle with some more advanced (for me) sentence constructions. His corrections were helpful and not intrusive to the overall flow of our conversation. I am definitely making progress.

Fabio is fantastic. Patient when I am speaking slowly, polite and instructive with corrections, and really a pleasant conversation partner. I am doing a lot of outside learning, at least 2-3 hours per day, and I prepared for my lesson and also let him know by message ahead of time how I wanted to approach the lesson: mostly me talking, him allowing me to struggle through it and providing pointed feedback every sentence or so, or just acknowledging when I got something correct. I came away from my lesson energized and encourages to practice even more. I have several more lessons scheduled within him, and I'm excited to talk to him again.
