Ciao sono Marco! I am an Italian teacher for foreigners and a language tutor who will help you achieve your goals with Italian and create a unique language study plan. I got a Master degree in Italian language at University of Bologna and CEDILS certification at University of Venice. With a great passion I specialized in teaching Italian to foreigners with a focus on culture, travel, history of art and food. I am also engaged on writing and I already published some books.

Me as a Teacher
I 've been teaching Italian for more than 10 years and I developed my own method. . I help my students identify weaknesses in Italian well, and create a personalized program. We work together to maintain consistency and accountability. Each lesson is created specifically around the student's needs in the way to improve with certain types of exercises or content for the language. I create tons of exercises for this motivation
In class we will use:
textbooks, videos, original texts by me, online contents and games I worked in a private school outside Italy and in the Italian public school and actually I work essentially as freelancer.
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 progress

Excellent review session, Congiuntivo, imperfetto and condizionale. Fun games, and exercises. Marco implemented the recall method to condition my learning so it can stick. Very content with my progress, look forward to the next one!

I have had a great time learning with Marco! He is patient, supportive, and encouraging. I have learned a lot, and I am starting to feel more confident in speaking--I am excited to learn more!
