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!

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.

Another great lesson with Marco! We covered Italian idiomatic expressions with numbers, the subjunctive, and direct and indirect pronouns, with plenty of time for conversation and practice. Marco explains things clearly, makes lessons engaging, and always creates a comfortable learning environment.Grazie mille Prof!!

Marco continues to challenge me at every lesson and that keeps me working every day to make progress. The lessons stay fun and challenging, and some days are more of a climb than others, but he continues to support and encourage me.
