Matteo Comprehensible Input *I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW STUDENTS FOR THE TIME BEING* What kind of tutor am I? I'm not a language-learning guru who can master and teach a new language from scratch in just a couple of weeks — far from it! I've studied many languages myself, and I'm still on the journey. Language learning, for me, is a never-ending process. Because of that, I can guide you through the process and help you avoid wasting countless hours on activities that don't actually lead to real language acquisition. In my lessons, I focus on a manageable amount of vocabulary at first, then work with you to actively retrieve it by building sentences and creating examples together. With every student, I share a Google Doc where we track our progress, one lesson at a time. What to expect from my lessons? You can expect a supportive and engaging environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes. My lessons are based on the Comprehensible Input Hypothesis, and therefore focus primarily on listening and reading skills in the beginning, followed by lessons centered on real communication. At the end of each lesson, a Google Doc will be updated with the new vocabulary and grammar points we covered.

I truly enjoy my lessons with Matteo, and look forward to them as if I'm getting together with a friend for a catch-up chat. He's always prepared, provides thoughtful and constructive feedback, and encourages natural conversation. After each lesson concludes, I'm always left wishing for more time! Stop looking for other teachers, and book with Matteo now!

Matteo is so easy to talk to. 1 hour goes by so fast because Matteo is such a great conversationalist. I always finish my conversation with Matteo feeling happy, wanting to keep talking, or eager to set up the next lesson. Caro Matteo stammi bene. Buona Pasqua! Alla prossima! Un abbraccio.

I had a an original and dynamic first lesson with Matteo. My Italian was at a different level than expected, but he pivoted quickly, which I think is due to his experience and the number of lessons he already has in his repertoire. I like that he used different types of media to engage me on a reading and conversation level. I definitely came away with more confidence from this first lesson.
