Interest topicFoodHistoryReadingArtWriting
I am a passionate language learner, I love my native language and I am fond of Italian history and culture. I speak English and Spanish fluently, I have and intermediate level of French and Russian and I know very basic German. I started learning Russian in 2020, and that made me aware of how interesting can be learning a new language as an adult. I graduated in modern foreing languages and I lived abroad for three years, during that time I had the opportunity to practice many languages. I am a certified teacher of Italian as foreign language.

Me as a Teacher
We use the language mainly to interact with the others, and social bonds are the most important aspects of our life. Kids learn languages through play and adults through conversation - that's something we always have to keep in mind. That said, I will talk to you a lot and I will make you speak about any topic, because you need to start to feel comfortable in using the language. I will create a relaxed environment where attempts are more important than mistakes.
My lessons & teaching style
I use the communicative approach, that means that the core of my classes is speaking, but I also help student develop other skills such as listening, reading, writing and grammar knowledge.

I have been taking weekly lessons with Gabriele for a little over a year now.
At this stage, I am interested in learning how to sound natural to a native speaker. Learning it outside of Italy is challenging - grammatically correct sentences might still sound a “off” in Italian. Gabriele acts as a perfect sounding board catching these inadequacies and offering better-sounding solutions. I think Gabriele is a great fit to explore language subtleties. He pays scrupulous attention to detail and has an extensive knowledge of linguistics and general culture.
Gabriele gives me every chance to find solutions on my own but offers help when he sees I am at the end of my wits. He makes me an active part of the learning process by encouraging me to discover a pattern or to spot a mistake.
Our lessons are a perfect balance of structure (textbook) and flexibility (free flowing conversations), usually a combo of both, which results in an hour passing really quick!
Highly recommend!

Most knowledgeable teacher ever.
Helpful, professional and with a good sense of humor. His lessons are motivational and fun. His comments about Italian culture are both insightful and educational. His knowledge of comparative grammar (Italian, English, Spanish) is unsurpassed. A true maestro.
