Hi, I'm Marcello, a Native English speaker from Canada. I moved to Italy to study Italian, and now live in Milan. I studied Health Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, and worked in various trades - I'm an electrician with 10 years experience. One thing I have always had a passion for, however, is teaching.
Ciao a tutti! Sono Marcello, e sono madrelingua canadese. Mi sono trasferito in italia per studiare la lingua perché ho origini italiane e una passione per la lingua e il bel paese. Adesso abito a Milano. Ho fatto la triennale all'University of Western Ontario in scienze della salute umana, e ho fatto l'elettricista per 10 anni. Tuttavia, la mia vera passione è insegnare.
I'm patient, friendly, clear & detailed in my explanations, & passionate about helping others learn. I take my time to ensure you understand. I adapt my strategy to varying learning styles, prioritizing each student's needs. I use all my own materials & offer feedback & corrections. In class, it's okay to make mistakes, they help you learn!

Teaching experience
2023 - 2024
Native-speaking English TeacherI have taught English language courses in a private school in both individual and group classes, for students ranging from as young as ages 6 and 7 to adults and even seniors, and have taught students at all levels of English language proficiency.
I have used course books to structure lessons to meet students' needs at their language level, while adapting those lessons to meet the specific needs of each class as questions arose and further explanations of grammatical structures were needed.
2024 - 2024
Native-speaking English TeacherYour English School Milano sent me as a native speaking English teacher into different public schools in Milan, where a need arose: a native speaker who could provide something extra to students.
I designed/prepared lessons, including presentations and images, exercises, group activities, and speaking activities, that kept students interested and engaged, and facilitated conversation and active use of the language.
I also focused on examination topics to prepare students for their English exam.

Ho fatto circa 30 lezioni con Marcello, dalla prima lezione ho capito di aver fatto la scelta giusta. Puntuale, paziente, preciso, simpatico, coinvolgente, disponibile, molto molto preparato e competente. La combinazione di grammatica, conversazione e ascolto mi ha permesso di migliorare tutte le aree della lingua innalzando il mio livello, la mia sicurezza e fiducia che mi hanno permesso di superare brillantemente l'esame universitario che mi ha portato a contattarlo.
Inoltre, parla un perfetto italiano, il chè è in certe situazioni si è rilevato molto utile.
Inutile dire che continuerò a fare lezioni con lui per innalzare il più possibile il mio livello.
Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque desideri imparare o migliorare il proprio inglese con un insegnante assolutamente eccezionale.

La mia esperienza con Marcello come insegnante di inglese è stata straordinaria. È molto competente in grammatica e sa spiegare argomenti complessi in modo semplice e chiaro.
Le sue correzioni e i suoi suggerimenti mirati hanno contribuito al mio miglioramento nelle conversazioni e nella pronuncia.
Consiglio Marcello come insegnante di inglese a chiunque cerchi un professionista competente e dedicato.

I just want to recommend Marcello as a tutor. He is really patient and cool. I never thought I can use English to learn electricity stuff( working demand and personal interest), and it turns out being so insightful and fun while learning with Marcello:) It feels so great to make theory become more and more clear every class. He is really good at giving examples. Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Marcello. He explained to me that some of the Italian I had learned on Duolingo isn't how they usually speak in Italy which is very helpful! It also helped me that he is fluent in English as he can explain certain nuances of Italian to me so that I clearly understand. We had a few good laughs; I am really looking forward to many more lessons!
