Hi! My name is Raffaele, I’m 34 years old and I teach Italian in France. I was born in Benevento but I lived almost 10 years in Rome, where I studied Philosophy and Journalism. After the university I worked in a media monitoring company. I play the guitar and the violin, I speak three foreign languages (French, English and Spanish), I love doing sports and reading. I have a lot of interests, and I'm sure we can quickly find something in common! I'm currently teaching Italian in France, precisely in Briançon (Hautes-Alpes), in 3 primary schools. So I can help you if you are starting from scratch, but I also love teaching intermediate or advanced students. I was trained as an Italian teacher for foreign students at Venice University, where I obtained the CEDILS diploma in 2017, after having volunteered in a school. I'm very familiar with language learning too: I learnt Spanish in Seville, where I studied as an Erasmus student, and I'm improving my French. For my English I relied on one-to-one online lessons: I think it's the best method to improve quickly and to become fluent wherever you are in the world! My goal is taking your Italian to the next level! A typical lesson with me goes through 3 steps: 1) Use of authentic material linked to your interests as a starting point for conversation. We will use a video, an article, a song in order to discover how Italian works. 2) Analysis and focus on your week points. I will provide you tailored writing tasks, role plays, co...

I have been very impressed with Raffaele; he has enabled me to learn far more Italian than I thought possible over the past year. I've only spent about 15 minutes a day working on it in-between 45 minute sessions with him every week or two. Literally, whenever I have a few minutes I can use his materials and approach to make progress. I had previously thought it wasn't worth trying to learn a language with such a small time commitment, but he shows that it's definitely worth it! He introduced me to Anki and has provided very helpful materials to support my learning. His teaching approach is also very focused, attentive, and creative. Grazie Raffaele!!

My kids are really enjoying every lesson they had with Maestro Raffaele and they don't want to miss one. He makes lessons fun and interesting. Kids fall in love with reading because they can be part of the story, never complaining about extra effort. He explains things patiently until kids understand the information. We really appreciate the help that Maestro Raffaele is giving to us.

Le lezioni passano velocemente perché sono divertenti, interessanti e hanno un mix di grammatica e parlato intrecciati. Il suo stile di insegnamento è unico e fresco, il che è così importante se stai cercando di imparare la lingua da un po'. Mi piacciono molto le mie lezioni ogni settimana.

Raffaele was able to quickly adapt to my level of Italian and created a positive environment that pushed me to think and use Italian to convey my ideas. Being one of my very first times speaking the language, it was challenging but Raffaele provided a guiding hand. Regardless of Italian level, I highly urge you to book an appointment with Raffaele!

I have had several lessons with Raffaele and he has zeroed in on where I need to improve with my Italian. I appreciate the immediate feedback and exercises he has me practice. I feel challenged and feel like I have a better sense of where I need to focus. Grazie Raffaele!
