Hi! I am an Italian native speaker that wants to use his passion for Italian language and its history to help whoever wants to learn more our Italian world. I studied Humanities (Ancient Greek, Latin, History, Philosophy etc.) and, after that, I attended university courses on Mediterranean History and Civilization. I love arts, architecture, cinema, music and having inspiring conversations about life and society. Always eager to learn something new. I hope I can help you to fall more in love with learning our language and culture.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching for several years. I work with all kind of students from beginner to advanced level from 20 to 90 years old. Most my students have the goal of reaching a high Italian level conversation. Therefore, if it is what you are looking for, I am one of the most suitable teacher you could ever find.
As a teacher, I prefer to create a not judgmental environment. My rules are: respect, politeness and to be free talking about anything, doubts, issues, feedbacks without fear of being judged.
I am a patient teacher, glad to repeat whenever has needed, I am here to assist and support you. Italian is not a difficult language, no need to feel pressured. Everyone has its own journey.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach mostly in Italian, and, sometimes, using English/French, as a plus, such as explaining a difficult concept, rule, expression etc.
In case of no specific requests, our lesson focus is about the conversation. The first part, talking about your routine, your daily experiences and, then, talking about different topics that force you to think about new thoughts, to expand your vocabulary. The second part discussing about articles, different topics, exercises, songs.
Furthermore, we are going to perfect your Italian grammar when needed using my PDFs, unwritten rules and tips. Our focus is to give you all the tools to help you in Italian, not learning by heart.

Gabriel is very patient and makes practicing a new language engaging and fun. He corrects me without making me feel discouraged.

Giuseppe started helping me with my Italian when I could barely speak a few words. He is probably the most professional and patient teacher you can meet. Every lesson is well prepared and personalised. Giuseppe is very knowledgeable and organized in dealing with my difficulties in the language, and as a result, I am delighted with my progress. I am happy to recommend lessons with him. I guarantee you will not regret it.

As always another great lesson! I think around 50 lessons together and we never run out of things to talk about, and he always gives great recommendations for other italian books, podcasts, YouTube videos etc., focused on my personal interests (psychology/true crime) or italian culture to help me continue learning outside our conversations. Truly the best italian tutor you could find :)

Great lesson with Gabriel - we covered the difference between Dante and Boccaccio’s view of woman in medieval times, pronunciation and the difference in developmental histories between Italy and the UK

Gabriel was able to grasp my level of Italian and speak in a way that I could easily understand. He was able to correct my mistakes and give examples in a polite and light hearted way. I would recommend him as a tutor/teacher.
