Buongiorno a tutti,
I'm Paolo and I'm Italian. I was born in Milan and I lived there until a few years ago, when I moved to Assisi, a beautiful town in Central Italy.
I graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan in industrial design and lighting design.
Even though my education is mainly technical, I have always had a passion for communication and writing.
I'm a curious person with various interests: I enjoy traveling, hiking, cycling, and reading. I'm interested in food, ecology, and technology. I'm passionate about DIY and enjoy talking about a wide range of topics.
Me as a Teacher
I'm a thoughtful and patient person. I listen to people and try to understand how I can be most helpful.
When I travel abroad, for vacation or work, I love talking to foreigners and learning new things. We usually speak English, but sometimes I meet people who speak Italian: this makes the conversation even more interesting because it allows me to share a bit of my own language and culture.
That's why I have decided to become a Community Tutor on Italki!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are based upon conversation, a crucial training for comprehension and speaking. I choose with students the most interesting and enjoyable topics based on their interests, ensuring talks are rewarding and motivating.

I have really enjoyed my conversations with Paolo. While we talk about various different topics, he gives me the opportunity to stop and ponder grammatical questions as they arise. Not surprisingly, it makes for an unusual hour of engaging conversation constantly interrupted for discussion of grammar!

Paolo is a great teacher and conversationalist, in our dialogues he corrects my errors without stopping the flow of ideas. I feel encouraged to try new phrases and terminology in our lessons. Definitely recommend.

Paolo è un insegnante eccellente. Oltre a mostrarci come funziona la lingua, ha la pazienza di ascoltare per poterci guidare al meglio.

My lessons with Paolo are a wonderful opportunity to improve my skills through natural conversation. We never seem to be at a loss for things to talk about, and he is very happy to pause our conversation to review a grammatical question or vocabulary word. It is a very nice balance of conversation and formal learning.
