Ciao! I’m Marco, your guide to "real" Italian—language, culture, and la dolce vita! 🍝🎨
With a Degree in Italian Language (Uni Bologna), CEDILS certification, and 7,000+ hours of expertise, I’m a published author of 3 books (on the history of Italian food culture) and a translator. Ever wondered where lasagna was born or why couscous is a staple in Sicily? I’ll tell you all about it! 🇮🇹📚
My method? I use tailor-made role-plays and clear explanations. Using textbooks, my own materials, and 2,000+ quizzes created by me, we’ll explore daily life, art, and history.
Bonus: You’ll also get my secret Tiramisù recipe! 🍰
Ci vediamo in classe! A presto! ☕🚀

Ik als leerkracht
With 10+ years across public and private institutions, I've honed a sharp eye for identifying and fixing learning gaps. Together, we'll build your custom program—a clear roadmap to consistent progress and tangible results from day one. 🎯
We will conquer every language level: from ordering a coffee to debating Renaissance secrets. 🎨 My lessons go beyond standard textbooks, enriched by my own videos and a personal library of 2,000+ quizzes to transform complex rules into intuitive, spoken Italian.
Your goal becomes the engine of our learning. My mission is to guide you to confident fluency, turning every topic into a stepping stone for growth. Let's build your Italian together. Iniziamo!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
As your Italian language coach and CEDILS-certified teacher, I build strategic partnerships for authentic fluency. My method blends structured expertise with conversational adaptability, focused on real-life use, art, and culture.
I excel at diagnosing your exact hurdle—grammar gaps, hesitation, or unnatural flow. We then design a targeted plan with curated materials and structured conversation to build skills and confidence efficiently.
You’ll develop a thinker’s command of Italian, crafting nuanced sentences and using idioms naturally. With clear accountability and tailored homework, I prepare you for exams like the CELI and for life in Italy.

Marco è un insegnante con cui studio italiano da oltre due anni. Non mi sono mai annoiata a lezione. È molto professionale, ma anche attento e adatta la lezione a me e alla situazione. Sono molto soddisfatta e posso consigliare Marco come insegnante meraviglioso e come una persona grande . 🙏🏻🫶🏻

I did numerous lessons with Marco over the last months and he is undoubtedly a marvellous teacher. He helped me both with my conversation skills but also with various grammar topics. Thanks to his excellent teaching methods, even more complex grammar areas are a lot of fun and I‘m always looking forward to our next lesson! Grazie mille, Marco!

I had a wonderful class i am really improving in my reading and I'm happy about that today we did so many exercises and we talked about the past tense in Italian it was great.

Another excellent session with Marco! as always, the cadence continues to progress and refine perfectly. Today I was able to hold a natural conversation with minimal errors. With Marco, every minute counts, ensuring I get the most out of each lesson. He tested my use of the past, present, and future tenses, as well as new vocabulary and meanings. Each session feels easier and more natural. I’m confident that I’ll soon reach proficiency. Thank you, Marco, for teaching me Italian in its entirety.

Italian is the first foreign language that I have tried to learn.
I initially started with group lessons, which were good for the basics, but found I had limited time to talk, and I was listening to other people like me. We were all mispronouncing a lot of words or using grammatical structures that don’t conform to Italian. It was difficult to advance, as the speed of the group dictated the pace of the progress.
I started one-on-one lessons with Marco more than one year ago. For me, he is an excellent teacher - equal parts patient, organised, and informative. My knowledge and understanding of the language (and of language learning in general) have greatly increased through my lessons with him. Marco has never cancelled a lesson, always provides exercises to complete between sessions, and I feel that he is genuinely interested in increasing my ability to communicate in Italian.

I look forward to my lesson with Marco all week. I've been taking lessons with him for a year and am so grateful for everything he has taught me. Marco does a great job explaining all of the grammar, but he really excels as a conversation partner, helping you practice what you just learned. Marco has a lot of interests and travels a lot so there is always something interesting to talk about. He is very encouraging, especially when you are struggling to make a sentence. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. I am so glad I found him on iTalki. Grazie Marco!
