Woont in Messina, Italië

Applied linguistics and error analysis expert 📗📖📕 Teaching Italian and loving it since 2013💘🇮🇹 I'm from Messina, just like the famous painter Antonello! I'm an extremely positive person who always competes with himself to give nothing short of his best. I'm meticulous (but not in a bad way hahaha) and you will notice it from the way I give classes and provide corrections. I always try to inspire the people I interact with to believe in themselves and to work hard enough to reach their goals, which is the reason why I truly believe that the effort must always be equal to the dream! I love teaching and I look at it as a way to share what makes my life better. Moreover, I take pride in what I do as I can see that it can change people's lives, mine included! As a teacher, I always provide my students with thorough explanations and I always make sure that they comprehend what I say. You're here to learn Italian not to simply hear me talking, aren't you? Well, I guarantee you you'll understand each and every word ;) What about fun? Teaching has everything to do with human contact and the best way to transmit knowledge is through positive emotions. Whenever a certain information can be related to a positive event or situation, it's more likely to be collected in our memory. Indeed, scientific studies have proved how pivotal amygdala and hippocampus are during the learning process So yeah! We'll learn while having fun and have fun while learning! I always rely on science to facilitate your language acquisition process. Having written my thesis about "Error Analysis", ...

What Mattia delivers is always beyond my expectation. I can tell he's really passionate about teaching Italian. I'm trully grateful that he's so patient with a beginer like me. In addition, he always encourges me to speak out even if I make lots of mistakes; once I finish the talk, he'll step out to correct one by one. He's also very generous to provide those many resources to review, plus his extra time. In a word, as a beginner who used to have 2 other italian teachers, I'd absolutely recommend Mattia to anyone who wants to improve his or her Italian.

Why I think Mattia is one of the best teachers on the platform: 1) He clearly masters what he teaches; 2) He has knowledge of many languages, so he understands why the student makes the mistakes they make and what is the best way to solve it; 3) He's patient and never makes the student feel bad for making the same mistakes over and over again; 4) He's prepared and always has a plan for the lesson, but at the same time is flexible and addaptive to whatever topic the student brings; 5) He not only corrects mistakes but he also gives you more natural ways to say what you wanted to say (to me, this is hugely important!) 6) After class he sends you a detailed analysis of the mistakes you've made and extra explanations (for me this and number 5 is an incredible difference between him and any teacher I have ever worked with!) 7) His prices are excellent! (but I really do think his classes are worth a lot more and I would happily pay whatever amount to have this awesome experience with him!)

Parlare con Mattia è stata una esperienza bellissima e arricchente. Ho imparato tantissime cose, non solo sulla lingua ma anche sulla meravigliosa cultura italiana. Dopo tutte queste lezioni ho migliorato moltissimo il mio parlato. Le lezioni di Mattia sono molto ben organizzate, le spiegazioni sono chiare e precise, i contenuti molto interessanti. Inoltre, Mattia è molto simpatico, paziente e nelle sue lezioni crea un'atmosfera molto piacevole che favorisce lo sviluppo delle proprie qualità e ti fa sentire a tuo agio, soprattutto al momento di parlare in una lingua che non è la propria. Mi sono divertito molto e lo consiglio vivamente a tutti quelli che vogliano padroneggiare davvero l'italiano. Grazie di tutto, Mattia!

Mattia is hands-down one of the best teachers I've had. I'm most impressed with how much feedback he gives. Most other teachers I've had, correct you in the moment. Mattia provides you with notes after every lesson. These help you to be present in the lesson, but also learn afterwards. Somehow he catches every mistake without making you feel bad about making it (that's is a pretty rare superpower). He's always engaged, present, and paying attention. Lessons never feel like he's going through the motions; he's genuinely invested in helping you improve. He's also fun to talk to, which makes it a lot easier to spend an hour wrestling with Italian grammar and wondering why a noun decided to change gender for no apparent reason.

Mattia is a really great teacher. He has great structure but also doesn't mind veering off the topic and chasing ideas as the happen organically from the discussion. Fast and awesome constructive feedback. Highly recommend!
