About Me
italki teacher since Feb 27, 2019InterestsFoodTravelReadingFilms & TV SeriesMedical & Healthcare
With 2,500+ lessons taught to just 90 students, I focus on quality. Even though I’m listed as a Tutor here, after more than six years of experience, my approach is as a teacher.
As a programmer, I bring a precise, methodical, and patient approach to my teaching — ideal if you're a perfectionist looking for someone detail-oriented, yet fun and easy to talk to! 😊
If you're interested in philosophy, meditation, or introspective topics, that could be another great reason to connect — I love meaningful conversations.
Why students stay? I believe the most important part of teaching is human connection, I blend logic with warmth, turning errors into progress. You’ll get detailed lesson reports.Me as a Teacher
Hello everyone!
Since you're here to choose a teacher from among hundreds, let me give you a helpful tip: one of the best indicators of student satisfaction is the average number of lessons per student.
How can you calculate it? Just divide the total number of lessons a teacher has given by the number of students they’ve taught. For example, if a teacher has done 100 lessons with 10 students, the average is 100 ÷ 10 = 10 lessons per student.
So, if you choose teachers with a high average, you’re much more likely to have a positive and rewarding learning experience!
Wishing you great learning — and if you choose me, see you soon! 🤗 My lessons & teaching style
The content of each class is flexible — I understand that students have different backgrounds and learning styles. That’s why we’ll start by discussing your goals and set personalized learning targets to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.

Valerio ha il cervello da programmatore ma il cuore da terapista! e un vero talento per l'insegnamento. Penso che lui mi aiuterà a raggiungere il mio obiettivo di parlare italiano in modo chiaro e corretto.

Lessons with Valerio are always constructive and highly motivating. As well as covering all the basics of grammar and pronunciation thoroughly, we talk about topics in which we have a shared interest, which is helping me to focus on vocabulary I'm keen to use. I'm delighted with the progress I'm making and I'm looking forward to the next lesson!

I'm thoroughly enjoying learning Italian with Valerio. We had a great lesson today where we used a topical discussion to explore grammar, pronunciation and confidence in spontaneous dialogue. I highly recommend Valerio's approach, blending clear, methodical exercises with emergent learning from the topics I raise.
