Master student in Linguistics with a lot of passion for intercultural communication Hi, my name is Luca! I'm from Italy and I'm 26 years old.

I love vegan cooking and to create new dishes to delight the palate of my friends. I also enjoy travelling around the world and being surrounded by nature. The passion for languages has always been a part of me and I'm here to share it with you with fun and engagement. Get ready for your Italian adventure! I consider myself a positive patient teacher and I definetly prefer an informal context. My first priority is to create a peaceful stimulating environment for my students where the don't get bored. I really appreciate it when students give me feedback and make questions because it gives me valuable insights and it allows me to improve my teaching method and the topics we are going to cover. This constant monitoring is the key to provide a rich learning experience! Learning Italian is not only about long word lists and hard studying, all you need is curiosity, dedication and most of all... FUN! And I'm gonna be there to support you all the time during this process. If you keep this key concept in mind you will be able to hold a conversation in Italian without any anxiety.

Luca is such a great teacher! His lessons are really fun and motivating, we always find interesting conversation topics and he lets me speak freely, so it often feels more like I'm chatting with a friend, but at the same time he's also very professional, paying attention to the mistakes I make and taking notes so we can review them together and help me improve. I absolutely recommend learning Italian with him!

I did six tutoring sessions with Luca and he was very kind and professional, he adapted to my needs and my exam preparation by providing themes and speaking exercises. He always lets you speak and gives you interesting feedback on the mistakes but also on what he appreciated and what was good. I feel ready for my exam and it's mostly thanks to Luca!
