I am 48 years old, half Italian and half British, living in Rome, Italy. I am a Video Director and I have also been a teacher for 8 years, teaching Video Production in an high school. I love to teach and I love languages.
Me as a Teacher
Hi, I have 8 years of experience in teaching in an Italian highschool. My lessons are focused on CONVERSATION. We start from there, speaking about art, culture, science, news, politics, sports... and of course your everyday life. From there we can dive into GRAMMAR whenever is needed. Also, I am half British, so switching to English is always an option. I also enjoy to discover, together with my students, the word ETYMOLOGY. English and Italian languages have a lot in common. Discovering the origin of the words a is a nice way to learn languages and it will be easier to build and memorise a vocabulary.
Thanks for reading all this. Book a trial lesson with me and you will not regret it! Bye!
My lessons & teaching style
If you ar just starting we will first work on GRAMMAR. I use a book that we follow together. We listen to Italian conversations, we do exercises, we speak. I will never leave you alone (for example.... You have 10 minutes for this.. and I go away). We always work together and there is always interaction. If you are already confident we will focus on conversation. I like to have extensive CONVERSATIONS with my students as I believe that SPEAKING is the first thing. I like to help my students discover were words come from and make parallelisms with the English language. We speak about news, politics, weather, movies, music and much more.

A tricky topic in today's lesson but Marcello, as always, carefully explained the rules and normal uses of the phrases well.

Always a useful and informative lesson. We are covering some good ground with the grammar and realistic use of the language.
