About Me

Ciao! I’m Marco, your guide to "real" Italian—language, culture, and la dolce vita! 🍝🎨✈️ With 6,000+ teaching hours and published books, I blend grammar with art, history, and food (yes, I will share with you the secret recipe of tiramisù!). My 2,000+ Italki quizzes and podcasts make learning dynamic. Whether you’re writing like a native or prepping for travel, let’s make lessons as rich as Italian espresso!
I am professional with a degree in Italian language and literature at Uni of Bologna and I specialized for teaching Italian to Foreigners (Cedils)Me as a Teacher
With over a decade of experience, I've fine-tuned my teaching approach, crafting a personalized method that identifies each student's Italian language weaknesses. Together, we establish a tailored program, ensuring consistency and accountability in your learning journey.
Every lesson is meticulously designed to meet yr specific needs, incorporating targeted exercises and content. I'm providing a wealth of engaging exercises to keep you motivated: I leverage a diverse set of resources, including textbooks, videos, original texts authored by me, online content, and games. Having taught in private schools both internationally and within the Italian public school system, I've honed my skills My lessons & teaching style
Flexibility, consistency, enthusiasm, accountability are the main ingredients of my lessons. Student engagement is important: I'm good to teach but I don't work miracles. We can use audio material, texts, pdf, books+ a lot of structured conversation. I work with students of all levels and I prepare for CELI and others exams. Sometimes we work on writing or discussing articles. According to the need of the student we work on: conversation, pronunciation, grammar rules, sentence construction, idiomatic sentences, writing. If that's okay with you, I 'll give you some homework to do and we'll follow a schedule designed especially for you that will allow us to see your progressMy teaching material

I did numerous lessons with Marco over the last months and he is undoubtedly a marvellous teacher. He helped me both with my conversation skills but also with various grammar topics. Thanks to his excellent teaching methods, even more complex grammar areas are a lot of fun and I‘m always looking forward to our next lesson! Grazie mille, Marco!

Another excellent session with Marco! as always, the cadence continues to progress and refine perfectly. Today I was able to hold a natural conversation with minimal errors. With Marco, every minute counts, ensuring I get the most out of each lesson. He tested my use of the past, present, and future tenses, as well as new vocabulary and meanings. Each session feels easier and more natural. I’m confident that I’ll soon reach proficiency. Thank you, Marco, for teaching me Italian in its entirety.
