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 skillsMy 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've been studying with Marco long term because learning a new language is truly a journey. Marco brings the perfect mix of patience, experience, and motivation to every session, which helps me stay on track and continue progressing. His ability to explain, present, and guide with such finesse makes learning feel natural and enjoyable rather than overwhelming. I’m committed to continuing my studies with Marco as I work toward becoming proficient and reaching an advanced level. Thank you, Marco!

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!

È stata una lezione ben strutturata. Ci siamo concentrati sulle espressioni italiane con la palabra "ochio". È stata l'occasione di parlare delle differenze tra l'Italiano e il Francese, delle imagini che abbiamo del Italiano medio e del Francese medio nei nostri due paesi.

We started working together with Marco three months ago, and I am very happy to have found him. He is an excellent teacher and a great person. From the very beginning, he has been punctual, reliable, helpful, and patient, and he always prepares the lessons carefully. As a result, they are well structured, but at the same time he adapts flexibly to my needs. I always receive feedback on my progress, and he motivates and encourages me. The lessons are held in a good atmosphere, they are very effective, he provides plenty of material, and he always gives useful advice to help me achieve my goals. Throughout the lessons, he perfectly balances communication and grammar tasks, which is essential when learning a language. Moreover, he is also happy to give an insight into Italian culture. I highly recommend Marco, and I truly hope we will continue studying together for a long time. Grazie mille, Marco!
