Hi! I'm Ciro, an Italian teacher for foreigners with 10 years of experience, originally from the Amalfi Coast. With two master's degrees in Linguistics and E-Learning, I specialize in preparing students for CILS/CELI exams. I love making my lessons dynamic and full of smiles, drawing on my passions, such as cinema, technology, music, and tennis, to create authentic conversations. Warning: we won't be talking about football! 😄 Perfect for those who want to: - Pass official exams with a certified trainer. - Learn naturally. - Have fun while improving your Italian. I taught Italian in multilingual classes, with people from all over the world, such as Germany, Austria, Brazil, USA, Spain, France, Japan, United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, and many more. Since I live in Spain, I have been an external collaborator of a committee of the Dante Alighieri Society in Asturias and an Italian conversation assistant for middle and high schools. Therefore I have a lot of experience in teaching Italian language to Spanish speakers of all the ages. I am also a recognized trainer and examiner of the CILS exams, authorized by the University for Foreigners of Siena. I am of the communicative approach, therefore my priority is the oral production. However, I always try to cover all the other language skills, such as listening, reading and writing, because they are essential. Grammar is also another fundamental pillar: few doses, but necessary!

Ciro is an excellent teacher. Thanks to his help in less thank one year I’ve gone from zero to passing the B1, then the B2 exams and now studying for the C1 level. He is always very well prepared and professional.

Tomorrow is my one year anniversary of lessons with Ciro. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and meticulous. He is always extremely prepared for each lesson. I highly recommended him, as he becomes invested in your learning from day one. I am happy to have found him. Thank you, Ciro!

Abbiamo parlato del viaggio, una cosa molto interesante. E potevo aggiungere il mio vocabolario dei sinonimi delle nuove parole. Grazie Ciro.
