Americo

I reached out to Americo to help me prepare for my next trip to Italy and he is the perfect tutor for this situation. He has worked in the hospitality industry in the past and therefore very helpful - very ideal, when it comes to "role playing" excercises for various conversations I may have during my trip. I feel very at ease and supported during the lessons, which seems to go fast - Americo is great at keeping the conversation going. I have improved so much just in the few lessons I've had with him and feel more confident with my Italian. After my trip, my language learning goal is to move up to a higher level for Italian and I can already tell that Americo will help me get there.

Learning Italian is one of hardest and most challenging thing I have ever done, but thanks to Americo it continues to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. He is a very patient and encouraging, empathetic and kind teacher. Americo’s professionalism, intuitive nature and attention to detail means that every single lesson is productive and purposeful, but also fun and interesting. He is very good at identifying what I need to work on, when I need to be challenged and when I need help. I really value and appreciate Americo’s support and encouragement, especially when I am struggling and finding things difficult, he always manages to find a way to turn these moments of frustration into a positive experience. This has really helped me develop my confidence in Italian, which in turn makes me feel more at home and happy in Italy. Grazie Mille Americo! :-)

Another great lesson. Thank you!

I’ve been taking lesson with Americo for 2 years. His thoughtful tutelage has been instrumental in my language learning journey. I’ve gone from knowing nothing to being able to hold my own in Italian conversation over that time, and I can’t imagine where I would be without Americo. A great teacher and friend.

I initially wanted to book a 30-minute lesson but ended up taking a full 55’ class ! I’m so glad I did! We practiced the Italian alphabet and immediately put it into natural contexts, which made pronunciation feel much easier as Americo is very encouraging! Very suitable for very beginners ;) The teacher was well-organized, patient, and empathetic, and the class flowed smoothly from explanation to practice. He provided super clean documents he shared during the class and to review after the class. I like that he doesn’t give homework. As a regular user of Italki, I know who I want to study with and he is one of the gem of the platform so I am planning to start learning Italian with him.

Great lesson as always! Highly recommend Americo classes.
