About Me
italki teacher since Feb 27, 2019InterestsFoodTravelReadingFilms & TV SeriesMedical & Healthcare
With 2,500+ lessons taught to just 90 students, I focus on quality. Even though I’m listed as a Tutor here, after more than six years of experience, my approach is as a teacher.
As a programmer, I bring a precise, methodical, and patient approach to my teaching — ideal if you're a perfectionist looking for someone detail-oriented, yet fun and easy to talk to! 😊
If you're interested in philosophy, meditation, or introspective topics, that could be another great reason to connect — I love meaningful conversations.
Why students stay? I believe the most important part of teaching is human connection, I blend logic with warmth, turning errors into progress. You’ll get detailed lesson reports.Me as a Teacher
Hello everyone!
Since you're here to choose a teacher from among hundreds, let me give you a helpful tip: one of the best indicators of student satisfaction is the average number of lessons per student.
How can you calculate it? Just divide the total number of lessons a teacher has given by the number of students they’ve taught. For example, if a teacher has done 100 lessons with 10 students, the average is 100 ÷ 10 = 10 lessons per student.
So, if you choose teachers with a high average, you’re much more likely to have a positive and rewarding learning experience!
Wishing you great learning — and if you choose me, see you soon! 🤗My lessons & teaching style
The content of each class is flexible — I understand that students have different backgrounds and learning styles. That’s why we’ll start by discussing your goals and set personalized learning targets to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.

Valerio ha il cervello da programmatore ma il cuore da terapista! e un vero talento per l'insegnamento. Penso che lui mi aiuterà a raggiungere il mio obiettivo di parlare italiano in modo chiaro e corretto.

Thoroughly enjoying my lessons with Valerio. We cover a good balance of activities in every lesson and I enjoy working on the tasks set in between. Valerio is very patient, with great attention to detail, but at the same time keeps the lessons enjoyable and entertaining.

I'm thoroughly enjoying learning Italian with Valerio. We had a great lesson today where we used a topical discussion to explore grammar, pronunciation and confidence in spontaneous dialogue. I highly recommend Valerio's approach, blending clear, methodical exercises with emergent learning from the topics I raise.

Valerio is an excellent tutor, I really appreciate his approach and his attention to detail - the materials provided are such a good reference point for my studies in between lessons.
I'm enjoying receiving developmental feedback and guidance for my reading and pronunciation during lesson times.
The homework and exercises are also very helpful for extending my learning outside the lessons.
Highly recommended!

Valerio is such a kind, patient and wonderful teacher! He is extremely organized and has an impressive system on Google Docs for categorizing the topics we cover. I am a language teacher myself and so I have high expectations for language teachers, and I highly endorse his skills. I know I have improved my italian so much thanks to him!
