Ciao! This is Davide from Napoli, Italy! Language teacher since 2015. In my lessons, you won’t just learn grammar: you’ll explore Italian music, literature, art, films, sports, news, and everyday culture. You'll also receive my Italian newsletter every weekend! I’ve taught Italian at universities in the U.S., in Italian schools, and I also taught Spanish and French in American high schools - so yes, I love teaching languages! I’m a certified, professional language teacher. My classes are tailored for you, with personalized homework, and a weekly newsletter to help you progress. Also, the more lessons you buy, the bigger the discount!

Davide is such a patient, warm, and super knowledgeable teacher — every session feels relaxed, fun, and really motivating. 
He keeps conversations natural and easy-going, while still gently pushing me to improve. He also always shares cool materials and ideas that turn into great language and cultural explorations. Highly recommended!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Professor Davide is one of the best instructors on italki if not the best. He keeps the conversation lively and engaging, always speaking at your level while making thoughtful corrections. What sets him apart is that he explains why a correction is needed or offers a more natural, common way of saying something. His teaching style is excellent: he gives recommendations for podcast and other cultural experiences that support your learning outside the classroom. Every lesson is interesting and personalized, and you can really tell he cares about helping you improve. I recommend Davide to anyone who is serious about learning Italian.

I started with Davide without any prior knowledge of Italian and, after about 10 months, I can not only express myself fluently but also discuss complex topics. Davide made every class worthwhile, adapting them to my style of learning and achieving the goal of speaking Italian in a very short time. During the first class, he said to my surprise: 'In a few months, you'll be speaking Italian without effort.' Clearly, he knew what he was talking about because here I am, speaking effortlessly. I highly recommend Davide for learning Italian and, in the process, Italian culture and lifestyle.
