About Me
italki teacher since Aug 20, 2021InterestsMusicSports & FitnessTravelReadingArt
Tuscany-born, global-minded. I graduated in Modern Literature with a specialization in Linguistics. I later earned the DITALS certification for teaching Italian to foreigners. Since then, I’ve traveled the world teaching Italian at public institutions, private schools, and universities. My greatest fortune has been turning a passion into my profession. Passionate for art, music, cinema and life!
Toscano di nascita, cittadino del mondo. Mi sono laureato in Lettere Moderne con una specializzazione in Linguistica. In seguito ho conseguito la certificazione DITALS per l’insegnamento dell’italiano a stranieri. Da allora ho girato il mondo insegnando italiano presso vari istituti.Me as a Teacher
Teaching Italian around the world has allowed me to understand firsthand the challenges each student may face, especially in relation to their native language. This experience has made me more aware, attentive, and flexible in finding the most suitable strategies for everyone. I’m very patient and can easily identify each student’s strengths and areas for improvement. I am also a good listener.
Insegnare italiano in giro per il mondo mi ha permesso di comprendere da vicino le sfide che ogni studente può incontrare, soprattutto in relazione alla propria lingua madre. Questa esperienza mi ha reso più consapevole, attento e flessibile nel trovare le strategie più adatte a ciascuno. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons balance all four core language skills—reading, listening, writing, and speaking—and integrate grammar naturally through an inductive approach. My method is flexible and dynamic, yet student-centered: your pace, your goals, your learning style. I create most of the materials I use in class myself.
Le mie attività coprono in modo equilibrato tutte e quattro le abilità linguistiche fondamentali — comprensione scritta, comprensione orale, produzione scritta e produzione orale — e integrano la grammatica in maniera naturale attraverso un approccio induttivo.Il mio metodo è comunque flessibile e dinamico, al centro del mio lavoro c’è sempre lo studente: i suoi tempi, i suoi obiettivi,My teaching material

Daniele is an amazing teacher! Rather than simply providing a correction, he asks a few questions to build understanding and to have me figure out where/what my mistake was. Because of this, I feel a sense of satisfaction (I figured it out!), AND the grammar I learn from Daniele, sticks better.
