Me as a Teacher
I want you to feel comfortable when using Italian in conversation, so I always create a chilled evironment where you can make mistakes. ATTEMPTS usually end up in mistakes, but there is no learning without mistakes; if you are making mistakes it means that you are attempting, that is: learning.
During my lessons you will have the opportunity to make all the questions you want, because curiosity is what really makes us improving. For this reason, if you've got any questions between lessons you can always contact me offline, usually I answer within 24 hours. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are for everybody; people of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. It doesn't matter your starting level, if you have no prior knowledge we can start from zero. Even though my lessons are interactive and conversation based I never forget about grammar and I always give grammar tips and useful corrections when needed. Besides, i like to inform my students about Italian history and geography, traditions and dialectal variation.
I usually get materials from these TEXTBOOKS and GRAMMAR BOOKS to prepare my lessons:
- Nuovo espresso
- Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano
- Nuova Prova Orale
- Via del Corso
- Grammatica Avanzata (Edilingua)
- Grammatica di riferimento di Giovanni PatotaMy teaching material
- Image files
- Video files
- Text Documents
- PDF file
- Articles and news

After over 200 lessons with Gabriele I’m still having fun learning from him. I always feel challenged and supported. I trust his advice and his feedback. You won’t find a better teacher!

Always, and ever, a great teacher. Gabriele keeps you grounded and is one of the most patient people I have met. He progresses through the lessons in a creative way that keeps you on your toes, but in a perfectly balanced thoughtfulness.

Always a great lesson. I'm finally moving into the stage where, sometimes, conversation doesn't seem cumbersome and feels natural and flows. All thanks to Gabriele.
