About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021InterestsArtHistoryTravelWritingFood
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!

Marco struttura ogni lezione con grande attenzione, concentrandosi sia su ciò che lo studente ha bisogno di praticare sia su nuovi argomenti. Il suo stile di insegnamento, positivo e amichevole, aiuta a migliorare l’italiano in un ambiente rilassato e cordiale. Mi piace davvero ogni lezione!

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!
