About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2015InterestsFashion & BeautyFilms & TV SeriesReadingFoodTravel
I have been teaching Italian for over 15 years now. I have lived and worked abroad (in Estonia, Russia, Australia and Portugal) and a couple of years ago I decided to move back to Italy. I have now happily settled down in Padova where I keep teaching learners from all over the world.Me as a Teacher
Some of my students say that I am one of the most patient person they have met. I just think that learning something as complex as a foreign language takes a lot of effort and strength and motivation and I am dedicated to offer my students all the support they need to become confident in speaking Italian. My lessons & teaching style
My mission is to get you talking from the very first lesson. I believe it is nearly impossible to learn a language without "using" it and making mistakes.
I always try to adapt my lessons to the needs and goals of my students but I also try to use their interests and hobbies to make the classes more fun and engaging.
I have a passion for grammar and rules so I aim at building a solid base of knowledge from the start. There is no Italian language without verbs and articles; there is no practice, no speaking without awareness of grammar rules.My teaching material

Урок был разговорный , и крайне позитивный. Очень легко общаться и Pier Paola очень легко может разговорить даже самого молчаливого. Говорили на бытовые темы , и если возникали моменты, в которых, что-то сложно было объяснить , объяснения шли вперед вопросов. Крайне профессиональный преподаватель. Только плюсы и позитив.

When just starting out learning a language there is a great deal to get to grips with before a certain level of understanding follows. Pier Paola is patient and helps to get you talking straight away whilst developing your understanding. The 'role-playing' or example situations that are used in the lesson are of great help. Grazie mille!
