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.

As always, another excellent lesson all in Italian with Adriano. Look no further if you are looking for a professor who has loads of experience teaching foreigners and knows the ins and outs of Italian grammar. I highly recommend Adriano, I always learn so much in my classes with him. Today we did a review of the present conditional as well as the placement of pronouns in sentences, I absolutely appreciated these review exercises! Grazie mille per la lezione di oggi, Adriano, como sempre ho imparato tantissimo!

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!

Another excellent class with Adriano! It is a privilege to be able to learn italian with Adriano as he has incredible knowledge of the language, the grammar and even some of the etymology. Not only that, his Italian is perfect for learners because it is so clear and he explains everything so well in Italian. I also always get to learn about Italian culture through my classes with him. I highly recommend him for your Italian learning needs! Grazie mille per la lezione di oggi, Adriano! Come sempre, ho imparato tantissimo!

I had such a fun class today talking about food and restaurants in Italian! Adriano always helps me with the verb conjugations I get stuck on as well as the articles for the different nouns. He also keeps an interactive document to which I have access which helps me review new expressions or words I learn during our classes. These classes are so much fun and it is a joy learning Italian with Adriano. I highly recommend him for your Italian learning needs! Grazie mille per la lezione di oggi, Adriano, apprezzo davvero il tuo lavoro.
