Claudio

While Claudio is obviously a very talented individual and fluent in many languages, he is very passionate about his Sicilian roots and preserving the Sicilian language & culture. To me, the transference of cultural understanding & context is as important as the grammar itself. Sicily is too often misrepresented by outdated caricatures and stereotypes of what is, in reality, an island with incredibly rich & complex history, tradition, and wisdom. Whether you have Sicilian heritage or not, if you are interested in getting to know the real Sicily, Claudio is a fantastic resource.

Claudio has improved my Italian, he teaches clearly, and he provides material and methods that are very accessible and understandable. He is also a kind person, and incredibly intelligent, speaking several languages fluently. His knowledge of grammar and vocabulary is superb, he could go toe to toe with any university professor. Book him as your teacher, you will be happy you did.

Claudio is a very patient, professional and friendly teacher who clearly has a great education in various languages as well as linguistics.

Claudio è un insegnante meraviglioso, simpatico, paziente e con molta esperienza nell'insegnamento. Ha un talento nel diversificare i suoi metodi di insegnamento e parla fluentemente arabo, spagnolo e inglese, il che mi ha aiutato molto nell'apprendimento dell'italiano. Grazie, Claudio. Sei un insegnante di successo.

Claudio and I had an interesting conversation on a variety of topics. It was a good opportunity for me to get some intensive practice in both speaking and listening.

Claudio is an amazing teacher. His English is perfect , and his passion for the Sicilian language is truly a beautiful thing . I highly suggest using Claudio if you also share a passion in learning the Sicilian language.
