Ciao! I’m Marco, a native Italian speaker and professional teacher from Milan. After living abroad for 8+ years — 6 in China — I’ve navigated the challenges of learning multiple languages myself, giving me a deep, first-hand understanding of the learner's journey. I’ve taught thousands of Italian and English lessons for the past 10 years, specializing in intermediate Italian for English speakers. I’ll help you bridge the gap to fluency by fixing grammar hurdles and expanding your vocabulary through personalized sessions. Whether you’re preparing for a career move or a trip to Italy, we will focus on what you need most. Ready to level up your Italian? Let’s get started! I've taught thousands of lessons online, as well as in person in Italy and abroad, meeting people from around the world and seeing them improve lesson after lesson -- a very rewarding experience. I specialize in intermediate Italian for English native speakers (I'm also a professional English teacher and that helps me understand the challenges you might face), but all levels and nationalities are welcome. I can help you fix your grammar, improve your fluency, train your listening or expand your vocabulary. I can train you for a trip to Italy or for a job interview. We'll discuss your needs in detail, so no matter how broad or specific they are, I'll prepare the right classes for you. Everyone has different needs, so I'll start by asking you exactly what you want to work on -- if you're not sure don't worry...

One of my favourite things about working on my spoken Italian with Marco is that he actually gives me a lot of room to speak which is a rare thing and he always seems to have a genuine interest in his student's thoughts and opinions. Grazie Marco, alla prossima!

Always very helpful and informative. Marco has an strong understanding of English which really helps to correctly translate Italian expressions in the right context. With his very patient and helpful manner, the lessons are always enjoyable and my Italian has improved significantly as a result. Highly recommended!!!

Mark has it all. Apart from being a very experienced and proficient teacher, he's good humoured, quick witted and great at improvising in the moment. This leaves you feeling you're very much learning a language for the 'real world' as opposed to the stylised world of a formal language programme. I have no reservations in recommending him to you.

Mi piace sempre imparare qualcosa di interessante della vita in Italia e non solo parlare delle cose banali. Cosi le lezioni con Marco sono perfetti. Grazie.

Marco teaches through free-flowing conversations and through discussions of assigned articles, offering corrections and improved syntax along the way.
