About Me
italki teacher since Nov 4, 2019
InterestsTravelReadingScience
I work mainly with adult learners and have taught 3,000+ lessons. My goal is to help you feel comfortable while making real, steady progress in Italian. Lessons are flexible and adapt to you. We can work on grammar, vocabulary, and accuracy, or focus on natural conversation to build fluency and confidence. Often, the best results come from a mix of both. I focus on clear explanations, natural expression, and Italian as it is really spoken in everyday life. Whether you’re learning Italian for work, relocation, travel, or personal interest, I adapt lessons to your goals and pace. My lessons are relaxed and welcoming. You don’t need to be perfect — mistakes are part of learning.

Ivan is an amazing Italian teacher. He has a super chill personality that instantly puts you at ease, which makes learning feel natural instead of stressful. He explains things clearly, keeps the lessons engaging, and adapts to your pace without ever making you feel rushed or behind. Every session feels relaxed but productive, and I always walk away more confident in my Italian. I Highly recommend him to anyone who wants to actually enjoy learning the language.

Before going to Italy, Ivan taught me some useful words and sentences, ordering Italian food, customs tax refund, and hotel check-in are all very helpful. This time begins to learn grammar systematically again. After all, there are no shortcuts to learning a language. With a teacher as interesting and professional as Ivan, I think grammar is not boring at all, and he always patiently helps me remember and correct it. Great teacher.grazie mille.

Laughing about the possibility of war saying things like "we all have to die" and "it will cleanse the population". Feel a bit sick to my stomach.
