Ciao!
I'm Andre, from beautiful Sardinia. I developed a passion for languages throughout the years, and actively work to improve them. My strongest one is English, but I also have knowledge of Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, German and French, all to varying degrees.
Additionally, I'm a trained musician and a freelance graphic designer. I like to keep it varied :)

Me as a Teacher
I have experience as a private language tutor, and one day I plan to become a professional teacher.
I like my sessions to be informal, stress-free, and to develop them according to your own personal needs and goals, and to guide you through the process.
I'm a big believer, being a learner myself, in the importance of spontaneity and intuitive acquisition: I focus on useful notions, expressions, which you won't necessarily find in a textbook, and are ACTUALLY useful and realistic.
My lessons & teaching style
I enjoy using apps, videos, music, books – you name it – in a fun, creative way, with content that you're actually interested in, thus making learning more emotionally engaging and effective.
Oh, don't forget about the famous Italian hand gestures; they're a unique and crucial part of our culture and communication, they can be a powerful (and hilarious) learning tool!
Or if your method is more grammar/detail oriented, we'll follow that path.
I can also help you acquire the correct pronunciation with some easy tricks to get a grip on the Italian sounds in no time.
ANYTHING is possible with the right approach!

I have been working with Andrea for 5 months now. He is so caring, patient, and supportive. He is also "present" 100% of the time in our lessons, for which I am always grateful. In the past 5 months, we went from having conversations that were maybe 10%-20% in Italian, to now where we have conversations 90% in Italian. Our time together is invaluable.
The difference with Andrea is that we have "real" conversations, rather than a guided lesson. This allows me to learn useful vocabulary and speak Italian in the way that people actually speak it. He teaches me the nuances of the language, idiomatic expressions, and how to say what I actually want to say. We even build a list of flashcards together that help me enforce everything I learn.
You can learn all you want from a book or a structured course, but in my opinion, learning with Andrea is the best possible way to truly learn the language. Thank you Andrea!

Another great lesson with my friend Andrea! It's been nearly 7 months since I started my italki journey and because of Andrea's help I'm now reading my second novel in Italian! Wow, I certainly wouldn't have thought it possible half a year ago when I couldn't speak a lick! But thanks to Andrea I've gone from being able to utter a few sentences to now doing full lessons in the language. If you're looking for a fun, kind, hip, and knowledgeable Italian dude to help boost your confidence and skills in the language, look no further than Andrea!

Siempre es genial hablar contigo y practicar mi italiano para poder hablar con más fluidez y naturalidad. Siento que poco a poco puedo ir diciéndo mejores frases y expresiones. Aun cometo ciertos errores pero espero con el tiempo mejorar. Te agradezco mucho!

Choosing Andrea as my Italian tutor has been a great decision for me. We spend our time in conversation. He is patient and has helped my abilities in Italian move along very well. His English is as good as mine and there is no 'barrier' at all. He is intelligent, witty and supportive with a sense of humor that is quite refreshing. I have worked with several tutors on italki and have no reservations recommending Andrea as your guide to the Italian language.

Como siempre es un verdadero placer platicar con Andrea. Espero superar el bloqueo mental que tengo para hablar fluidamente y Andrea me hace sentir en un espacio seguro para poder hacerlo. Muy profesional y corrige mis errores amablemente.
Grazie ;)
