Andrea

I’ve tried multiple teachers on italki & Andrea is by far the best. He speaks flawless English, making it easy to explain Italian. He’s always encouraging and a lovely person overall which makes you look forward to conversing with him. He goes above and beyond, highly highly recommend.

I have had weekly lessons with Andrea for a couple of months now, and my only “complaint” is that the time passes too quickly! Andrea is a master conversationalist and knows how to unpack a little piece of new information into an interesting conversation, steering it from topic to topic. He is very patient and has a very gentle and sincere attitude that puts the student instantly at ease. Andrea is a very curious and open-minded person and is genuinely interested in the topics we are discussing, it never feels like we do it for the sole purpose of “practicing the language”. He does help me to find the right word or a better way of saying something, gives corrections when necessary but it really feels like I am talking to a friend. Especially if you are at a level where you can converse, Andrea’s lessons would be a great addition to your language practice.

Andrea is a very professional, attentive, and helpful teacher of Italian for a beginner like me. I always learn new concepts, words, and phrases during our lessons. Always an enjoyable experience.

I have had many lessons with Andrea now and every single one has been amazing. I really enjoy learning Italian with Andrea, especially because I can see that he wants me to improve and this motivates me to learn more. On many occasions, I have messaged Andrea with some queries that I had and he responded quickly to help me. Andrea has also supplied me with materials to work on in between lessons which for me has been a good experience because Andrea knows the level I should be working towards. Overall, I have had around 10 lessons with Andrea and I don’t have any problems at all, I love every lesson and he is a fantastic teacher and has made me feel comfortable speaking in Italian.

Andrea è sempre un ottimo insegnante!

Andrea's "real" personality is very much in keeping with what is presented in his video message. He is positive and inquisitive, and able to engage on a broad range of topics. He also has an interesting background and a fun sense of humor that keeps things light. I highly recommend him for conversational lessons!
