Languages, Technology & Videogames
These are the three thing I am most passionate about in life and my favourite topics of discussion, of course. I also love nature and travelling.
I love letting my students reflect on the language and learn by actively using it in their daily lives, rather than just memorizing parts of it.
Learn Italian, Live the Culture
My lessons are designed for people who are open to explore an alterantive methodology to learn Italian based on observation and active practice.

"Roberto is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about language. He adapts lessons to your level and interests. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their Italian."
Luigi

"Despite my name, I am not a native Italian speaker. Roberto has helped me improve not just my skills in the language but also my understanding of the culture. He uses a variety of approaches, which suits me perfectly, and is very adaptable. His breadth of knowledge complements his enthusiasm for both teaching and learning languages, and it's contagious! I can't recommend Roberto highly enough."
Frequently Asked Questions
My aim is to bring my students to acquire the tools to go out and communicate with other people. I love the process of learning a new language, it can be frustrating at times, like any other skills, but it feels like magic when you finally realise that you're actually looking at the world from a completely different perspective.
I studied foreign languages and literatures in university and wrote my thesis on critical discouse analysis. Its focus was on how people acquire language and then use it in the society. I always loved to reflect on the different uses of language and how they impact our daily lives.
My lessons have the format that will help you improve and become more confident. Simply put, there is no magic recipe. Language is practiced through interaction. By saying the right thing here and the wrong thing there. I think that all aspects of a language are important, but I also know that time can be a factor, so if you need to practice a specific aspect (eg. Grammar or conversation), I will suggest you the best course of action to reach your goal.
Yes, my philosophy is that there are no levels. Maybe this is my way of stirring a bit of discussion around, but I find that focusing on 'levels' creates unrealistic expectations and can drastically reduce motivation. In my experience, when I focused on 'reaching that level' or become 'more fluent', I forgot that it's better to enjoy the company of people rather than become upset because of that incorrect grammar structure.
I'm available in-person and online. I'm also flexible towards a mixed approach, depending on your availability and learning style.
If you have read my other answers you already know what I think of this question. But I want to provide a more detailed one: Only you know the answer to this question.
If you decide to commit on a learning journey with me for more than three months, yes, I will offer you a trial lesson. The most important thing, in this case, is to first understand our synergy, and if my teaching style is compatible with your learning style.
