Ciao! I’m Marco, your guide to "real" Italian—language, culture, and la dolce vita! 🍝🎨 With a Degree in Italian Language (Uni Bologna), CEDILS certification, and 7,000+ hours of expertise, I’m a published author of 3 books (on the history of Italian food culture) and a translator. Ever wondered where lasagna was born or why couscous is a staple in Sicily? I’ll tell you all about it! 🇮🇹📚 My method? I use tailor-made role-plays and clear explanations. Using textbooks, my own materials, and 2,000+ quizzes created by me, we’ll explore daily life, art, and history. Bonus: You’ll also get my secret Tiramisù recipe! 🍰 Ci vediamo in classe! A presto! ☕🚀

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!

I look forward to my lesson with Marco all week. I've been taking lessons with him for a year and am so grateful for everything he has taught me. Marco does a great job explaining all of the grammar, but he really excels as a conversation partner, helping you practice what you just learned. Marco has a lot of interests and travels a lot so there is always something interesting to talk about. He is very encouraging, especially when you are struggling to make a sentence. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. I am so glad I found him on iTalki. Grazie 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.

I had a wonderful class i am really improving in my reading and I'm happy about that today we did so many exercises and we talked about the past tense in Italian it was great.

As usual, Professor Marco is really great. His lessons are always tailored to me and to what I actually need, which makes a big difference. I like how he focuses on improving my weak points while still keeping the lessons natural and engaging. I always leave the lesson feeling like I’ve learned something useful. Grazie mille, Professore!!!
