Ciao! I’m Antonio, your Neapolitan guide from the shadow of Vesuvius, where la dolce vita meets deep-thinking conversations. My lessons aren’t just about grammar—they’re gateways to Italy’s soul, blending language with philosophy, art, and the fiery spirit of Naples. Whether you’re debating Dante or ordering espresso like a local, I’ll tailor every word to your curiosity. Let’s turn language into a love affair with la bella Italia—message me, and we’ll begin!Me as a Teacher
I know speaking a new language can feel vulnerable. My classroom is a safe space: no judgment, no pressure, just encouragement. Whether you're nervous about pronunciation or struggling with confidence, I meet you where you are with patience and genuine understanding. My lessons & teaching style
Forget textbook rigidity. I build every lesson around YOU—your goals, interests, and learning style. Whether you absorb language through conversation, stories, or cultural deep-dives, I adapt my approach to match your brain. Italian should feel natural, not like homework!My teaching material

Education
2024 - 2025
Master's - FilosofiaI hold a Master's Degree in Philosophy from the University of Naples Federico II, where I specialized in Ancient Philosophy with a thesis on Cicero's De Divinatione, focusing on academic method and religion. My academic background covers a broad spectrum of disciplines, ranging from Platonic exegesis and hermeneutics to political philosophy and digital ethics, providing a solid foundation in both classical thought and the rigorous analysis of the history of ideas.
2016 - 2021
Bachelor’s - Lingue, Culture e Letterature Moderne EuropeeI obtained a bachelor's degree in European Modern Languages, Cultures, and Literatures, a program that provided me with a solid foundation in two European languages (English and Spanish), along with their respective literatures and cultures. The course enabled me to enhance my advanced linguistic skills in both writing and speaking, while also deepening my theoretical understanding of the languages I studied.
2021 - 2024
Master's - Lingua e Cultura Italiana per StranieriI obtained a master's degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners, a program that allowed me to acquire advanced training in linguistic, literary, artistic, and historical fields. The course of study provided me with specialized knowledge about the Italian language, Italian art and civilization from classical times to the contemporary era, the texts of the literary tradition, and the history and geography of Italy.

I've done a course of lessons with Antonio now, and they've been very helpful. We've worked on everything from grammar to comprehension and vocabulary. He has helpfully corrected my writing to help me improve and is always patient when I'm trying to find the right words in conversation. He corrects my pronunciation and word use often enough to be helpful, but not so often that it slows down the conversation: a good balance. Antonio has a clear passion for languages and often takes time to explain the Greek or Latin roots of words and ideas, which (if you're a language nerd) can be really interesting. We have discussed a range of themes and topics, which keeps things interesting and has helped me to broaden my vocabulary.

¡Lección muy intersante como siempre! Antonio tiene un gran bagaje cultural que hace que siempre aprendas cosas nuevas. Además, me gusta que en muchas ocasiones te explica la etimología de las palabras, y gracias a su buen conocimiento del español, también las relaciona con las palabras en español y su propia etimología.

He tenido la suerte de aprender italiano con Antonio y lo recomiendo totalmente como profesor. Sabe explicar de forma muy clara, lo que hace que conceptos que parecen difíciles se entiendan con facilidad. Es muy paciente, se toma el tiempo necesario para asegurarse de que todo quede comprendido y crea un ambiente de aprendizaje cómodo y motivador. Además, tiene un gran conocimiento y un dominio excelente de la lengua italiana, lo que se nota en cada clase. Gracias a su forma de enseñar, avanzar en el idioma se vuelve mucho más natural y agradable.
