Hi, my name is Gabriele. I live in Southern Italy and speak English fluently at a conversational level.
Interacting with international friends has enriched my life by exposing me to diverse cultures.
As a dedicated Italian teacher and lifelong learner, I actively explore new languages (currently studying Japanese) which helps me truly understand the challenges of language acquisition. I also research efficient language learning methods, delving into linguistics and using automation tools to optimize the process.
My interests include:
🗣️ Linguistics
💻 Programming
🧪 Science
💡 Philosophy
🧠 Psychology
🖼️ Art
🎶 Music
📷 Photography
✍️ Poetry

Me as a Teacher
I create a highly personalized learning experience, adapting to each student's goals and learning style. No single method fits everyone, so I tailor my approach by integrating resources, tools, and techniques that align with individual preferences and daily life.
Above all, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where mistakes are not obstacles but stepping stones to growth, and every session is designed as a space where communication flows freely and naturally.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching is immersive and conversation-based, helping students gain confidence through real-life interactions. I use English as a support when needed, ensuring clarity while keeping the focus on acquisition.
Lessons are flexible and adapt to each student's specific requests.
A common format is open dialogue, where we discuss various topics while I provide real-time corrections and explanations on grammar, vocabulary and language use in context. When something arises in the flow, we address it on the spot.
Lastly, I recommend resources based on your interests, guiding you to build sustainable habits that balance challenge and engagement, make Italian an integral part of your daily life.

Gabriele è un insegnante molto bravo, serio e professionale, con un ottimo metodo didattico. Le sue spiegazioni sono chiare, precise e sempre adattate al mio modo di imparare. Apprezzo in modo particolare la sua capacità di correggere con tatto e con grande precisione. Le sue ampie conoscenze gli permettono di affrontare una grande varietà di argomenti. Sa proporre spunti e aprire una riflessione, sempre con benevolenza e un reale ascolto. Grazie a lui esploro l’italiano ben oltre la lingua stessa. Le sue lezioni sono vivaci, stimolanti e arricchenti. Ogni lezione è un momento eccezionale. Raccomando davvero Gabriele, senza esitazione.

Gabriele is an excellent Italian teacher. We have done more than 15 lessons of 45 minutes each, and a big part of our classes was focused on conversation. With him, I could talk about all kinds of topics, which helped me improve my speaking confidence a lot. He creates a relaxed and engaging atmosphere, so speaking feels easy and natural.
He also explains grammar very clearly whenever needed, without interrupting the flow of the lesson too much. That balance between conversation practice and grammar support was very valuable for me. I highly recommend Gabriele to anyone who wants to improve their Italian in a practical, enjoyable, and effective way.

I did 1h lesson with Gabrielle. We covered introductions & follow up questions. Gabrielle is very knowledgable but didn't want to overwhelm me on the first lesson. We took it slow & did some sample conversations. Grazie Gabrielle

I’ve had a great experience learning Italian with Gabriele. He uses modern, effective teaching methods and always adapts lessons to my level and goals. I especially appreciate how he helps me use Anki for vocabulary and review it’s made a big difference in how well I retain what we cover in class. Lessons are well-structured, practical, and engaging, and he’s very patient and encouraging. I highly recommend Gabriele to anyone who wants to learn Italian in a clear, organised, and up-to-date way.
