Ciao a tutti, my name is Vincenzo and I am a native Italian speaker. I was born in Napoli, a city in the south of Italy. I love learning foreign languages, as they let me discover new cultures. I hold a Master's degree in Comparative Literature Studies and the CEDILS certification. I worked abroad as an Italian teacher, so I have lots of experience in giving one-to-one and group lessons to students of any age.
Me as a Teacher
If I had to pick three adjectives to describe myself as a teacher, they would be patient, emphatic, and enthusiastic. I have years of experience in teaching Italian online and I am currently working as an ESL teacher in a private school as well. I can't wait to meet new people and know new cultures from all over the world.
My lessons & teaching style
My classes are customized to my student's interests and needs and I'm going to provide them with all the materials they need. I am keen to use a communicative method with my intermediate and advanced students, whereas I focus mostly on reading and listening with beginners. That doesn't mean there will be no room for some grammar. You will learn it but in an inductive way. During the first lesson, we will have the chance to get to know each other better. I will specifically give you a placement test to discover your language level so we can set together the best learning plan.

Vintenzo è un insegnante meraviglioso (molto educato, puntuale, impegnato nell'insegnamento, solidale, preoccupato per il benessere dello studente, ecc.) Sono molto contenta delle lezioni. 😊

Vincenzo is a patient teacher who takes time to write words and phrases in Chat and uses games and visuals to help with the lesson.

Initially I was nervous because I am learning Italian from scratch and it was my first Italki lesson ever. But Vincenzo is very nice to talk to.
We reviewed what I already learned by apps like Babbel and discussed about my goals.
He is incredibly patient and I never feel pressured, which is important to me.
Vincenzo adapted lessons towards my interests and situations in which I want to be able to communicate in.
During lessons we use different methods. Sometimes we watch videos of dialogs to analyze. And of course we also learn by classic exercises on which we work together via screen sharing.
For me it is very helpful that he can explain things in my mother tongue German, as I do not speak English (Review translated by my son).
After lessons he provides documentation of key learnings, new vocabulary to repeat and exercises.
I did 25 lessons so far and I enjoy them a lot. Looking forward to my next vacation in Italy and trying my earned skills in first conversations there.

Vincenzo has the patience of a saint. I’m in my seventies so learning a language is not so easy but it’s always a pleasure chatting with Vincenzo and he’s helped me immensely

Vincenzo has a lovely patient manner with a keen sense of humour. I couldn’t speak to anyone when I was in Italy before I worked with Vincenzo but there’s no stopping me now. He gives me exactly what I asked for and never pushes me to do formal grammar but makes tactful corrections and advice. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
