Seeing students improve quickly and gain confidence in Italian is incredibly rewarding. Helping learners develop real fluency, clear pronunciation, and a deeper understanding of the language is the most fulfilling part of my work.
Each lesson is engaging and enjoyable, designed to make learning feel natural and fun.

Andrea is an incredible teacher. My boyfriend and I tried a larger Italian class, but didn't find it working too well for us. After just 3 weeks with Andrea, we feel like our basic Italian has improved very quickly, and we are having a blast doing it.
Andrea is very flexible with timing, and accommodates our work schedules without hesitation. He is very punctual, and his positive and encouraging attitude make every week a lot of fun. We are extremely happy we found Andrea, and we are really looking forward to continuing our lessons with him.
Definitely recommended!!! Thanks Andrea!

Andrea is a great guy and an excellent Italian teacher. He is extremely reliable and responsive. Every lesson is fun and enjoyable. He has designed the sessions to fit my needs and abilities. I've taken lessons in classroom settings and one-on-one tutor sessions and, by far, Andrea is the best. The lessons are very conversational (all or mostly in Italian!), so it really helps me to listen and learn and understand. He's also given me great tips on how to remember things. I'm enjoying my lessons so much!! I highly recommend him. Lui è il miglior insegnante italiano!!!

Andrea is smart, charming, always upbeat, and very inventive in figuring out the best way that each student learns. He makes learning Italian fun, even as he is teaching me the grammar. I'm working with him an hour a week to prepare for a trip to Italy. Give yourself a treat and study with him! Linda G.

Learning Italian with Andrea was easy and fun. He is trustworthy and reliable! Within weeks of taking lessons I was conversational. I visited Italy in August and my friends were so impressed with my conversation skills. Andrea makes it easy to learn Italian by teaching through conversation - feels less like "learning" more like having a conversation with a friend. Thank you, Andrea!

Having taken lessons before I am sure Andrea's lessons are the right way to go about learning and speaking Italian. I feel my conversation skills improve in one lesson. And most of all, its fun!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lessons are $85/h and packages with discounts can be purchased.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each lesson is fully customized around the student’s needs, goals, and learning style. Some students learn better through listening, while others respond more to visual material, so the approach is adapted accordingly.
Lessons are largely based on conversation, allowing students to naturally develop fluency while learning grammar in a practical and engaging way. This makes the learning process enjoyable and effective.
All study and exercise materials are provided.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have extensive experience teaching Italian, with thousands of hours of instruction and more than one hundred students taught over the years. I am trained in Italian diction and pronunciation, which allows me to guide students toward clear and accurate speech.
I am also an Italian author and have collaborated on the translation of international best sellers, as well as films and television shows. This work has given me deep familiarity with both the literary and spoken aspects of the language.
