About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021InterestsWritingArtTravelMusicReading
Hi! I’m Francesco — a certified teacher of Italian as a foreign language (Università per Stranieri di Siena), polyglot and PhD in philosophy.
I’ve taught students from all over the world, combining language learning with cultural depth and human connection.
I speak 7 languages, including Turkish, and I work as an intercultural mediator.
This summer, I’m offering discounted lessons to make Italian more accessible. Whether you're a beginner or want to explore Italian through conversation, culture, or philosophy, I’ll guide you step by step.
🌍 Special support for Turkish speakers available!
Let’s make Italian meaningful, enjoyable, and truly yours.Me as a Teacher
I’m not just a teacher — I’m an intercultural mediator. I’ve lived in many countries and speak seven languages, seeing them as bridges that open cultural and human horizons.
Teaching, for me, means connecting with people from all over the world. Each lesson is a unique exchange.
I have experience with Italo-American and Turkish students, but I enjoy working with learners from all backgrounds.
I speak Italian with a clear, standard accent, as I’ve lived outside Italy for over 20 years.
(Note: the platform incorrectly says I live in Naples.)My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are always tailored to each student's needs and goals: whether you want to improve your conversation skills, grammar, pronunciation, or prepare for an exam, we will create the right path together.
I use authentic materials (videos, articles, songs, audio recordings) and the best textbooks available for learning Italian as a foreign language.
With almost fifteen years of teaching experience, I’ve curated a wide range of top-quality resources that I share with my students to make every lesson effective, engaging, and meaningful.
I’m an empathetic and patient person — I always try to create a relaxed, human atmosphere where students feel welcomed and encouraged.My teaching material

Francesco is an outstanding Italian teacher who makes every lesson feel personal and effective.
He lets me choose topics that actually interest me, which keeps every session engaging and relevant. He’s patient, adjusts the speed of the lesson to fit my level and energy that day, and explains mistakes clearly without cutting off the flow of conversation.
The result is a learning environment that feels relaxed but still drives real progress — perfect for improving fluency, confidence, and natural expression. I always leave each class feeling sharper and more at ease speaking Italian.
Highly recommended for anyone serious about making consistent, meaningful progress.

Francesco is an excellent teacher. He is very thorough with his corrections and his explanations; we have only taken a few lessons, but I feel like I have already learned a lot! Francesco is also very smart and can talk about a wide variety of topics, which is great for anyone with a wide range of interests that wants to practice discussing such topics in Italian. Francesco also has the extremely useful skill of listening deeply and intensely to what the student is saying; as a result, not only does he correct and explain, but also truly engages and facilitates. I would absolutely recommend him as a teacher to anyone interested in improving in Italian!!

Francesco ile İtalyanca derslerimiz enerjik, eğlenceli ve akıcı. Sıfırdan başladım, birkaç ders yaptık ve endişelerim olmasına rağmen hemen motive oldum. Sakin ve sabırlı tutumu, tecrübe, bilgi ve birikimi ile çok iyi bir dil eğitmeni olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Türkçeyi ve İngilizceyi iyi konuşması derslerimizde oldukça yardımcı oluyor. Francesco ile belirlediğimiz hedefe ulaşacağımıza inanıyorum.
