Hi! I'm Adriano, a certified CEDILS teacher with four years of experience, born and raised in Rome.
In addition to Italian, I speak English, French, Spanish, and a bit of Chinese — so I know firsthand the challenges (and the joys!) of learning a new language.
My passion? Turning lessons into cultural journeys.
I love using Italian art, music, and food to make you feel at home in the language. I ride my bike through olive groves, grow tomatoes, and I’m a storyteller at heart — with me, you’ll learn Italian by talking about what inspires you.
Because grammar is important, but the real magic lies in living the language.

Me as a Teacher
I wouldn’t call myself a traditional teacher, but I’m organized and clear when it comes to setting learning goals. I bring a lot of energy and creativity to my lessons, but I also know how to create a relaxed, supportive space — the kind that helps you overcome the blocks that often come with learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is highly communicative, with your interests at the heart of every lesson. I always aim to create a friendly, engaging environment where learning feels natural and enjoyable. I truly believe the best way to learn a language is by exploring the culture, history, and traditions behind it — without losing sight of grammar and the key foundations that make real progress possible.

Another excellent class with Adriano! As always, Adriano comes to class very prepared allowing me to get the maximum amount of learning during my lunch break from work! Today we went over the conditional for both regular verbs and very commonly used irregular verbs, along with helpful exercises. His Italian is absolutely impeccable for learners, you can understand everything he says and he explains everything so clearly. You couldn't ask for a better Italian teacher! Grazie mille per la lezione di oggi, Adriano, è stata eccellente, come sempre!

I love these classes with Adriano, they're so much fun! In last class I was introduced to the conditional in Italian and in this class I was able to practice using it during a really fun discussion about traveling. I highly recommend Adriano if you are interested in taking your Italian to another level. He is a certified teacher with loads of experience teaching Italian as a second language. Grazie mille, Adriano, mi è piaciuta moltissimo la lezione di oggi!

Wow, what an interesting class I had today! I learned some grammatical rules I wasn't aware of before in the imperative mood. As always, Adriano helped explain everything in the clearest way possible in Italian and now I understand when and why I am supposed to apply this rule. He explained everything in writing in the shared document that we use. This shared document also helps me when I need to review what I've learned or new rules I wasn't aware of before. I was also glad to have some time in the beginning of the class to discuss current events in Italian to enrich my vocabulary. Come sempre, Adriano, grazie mille per l'ottima lezione. Apprezzo davvero il tuo lavoro!

Italian lessons with Adriano are always excellent and today's class was another one of them! Adriano is a highly experienced Italian teacher and has a gift for clearly and slowly explaining everything in Italian so that a learner can understand and grasp new concepts or vocabulary easily. I highly recommend him for your Italian learning needs. As always, Adriano comes very prepared for my classes and I learned some new environment and physical geography-related vocabulary which are very frequently used. Grazie mille per la lezione di oggi, Adriano. Ti sono molto grata per il tuo lavoro!
