Teaching is just my lifestyle exactly as you don’t practise yoga or ride you Harley, you just are a yogi or a biker inside : D. I've had students 18-86 years old and of about 40 nationalities so far. The best is when students remind me how beautiful and melodic Italian is. And their eyes shining, it’s an extra gift!

As an official examiner I can prepare you for Certificates (CELI, CILS,PLIDA). I’m very respectful, and love every culture.

My different backgrounds help me today: my education in cinema, media studies and advertising helps me in “building” an effective message transmission. Having worked in web design gives me IT and creative skills. Classical Studies (Latin and Greek) give me etymology and a 360 view on the language. Why having a Ferrari in garage?

I have completed my first 9 lessons with Marco and they have been fantastic. He is a great teacher who puts you at ease and takes time to answer any and all questions. The lessons have been all been fun and interactive and I feel more confident with my Italian each week. I will continue my lessons with him for as long as I can and I highly recommend him as a teacher!

Marco è un insegnante molto empatico. Presta attenzione agli interessi degli studenti e alle loro difficoltà nella lingua. E poi fa lezioni interessanti. Grazie!

Today we learned about prefixes! It was super interesting and useful and Marco explained everything very clearly as usual. I realized that by learning the theory I can also make use of some knowledge of English to build my Italian vocabulary. Couldn't be happier! Thank you.
