Private Italian lessons by native speaker
About
My name is Francesco and I'm from Rome, Italy. I've lived in the states for more than 11 years and I go back to Italy often. I've been tutoring and giving private lessons for more than 7 years to children, college students and adults. I can help with school work as well as conversational skills for an upcoming trip, or anyone who is trying to learn Italian from scratch.
I enjoy people's satisfaction for learning something they found impossible or very head aching at first. I also love to see people progress through their goals whether it's school or being able to speak Italian for upcoming trips, family purposes, or for passion.

Francesco has helped me immensely with the Italian language! When I began, I had a lot of catching up to do in preparation for my intermediate-level college course. I am now more than prepared for my lectures and I'm still working with him because of how much I've enjoyed these lessons. He is engaging, very flexible, and fun to get to know! I couldn't recommend him more.

Francesco has been great to work with! I have enjoyed our lessons together and felt comfortable conversing in Italian with him. I like the way he explains the grammar and sends the whiteboard notes after each lesson. Grazie millie!

I wholeheartedly recommend Francesco! I've been working with him for about 2 months now and my progress has really moved forward. As a grammarian myself, I appreciate his excellence with the technical parts of both Italian AND English. As a native speaker of Italian, it is very apparent he's been speaking English since childhood so there is never a language barrier. Being an adult learner, it's important that my instructor has patience. He's definitely got that and it's very helpful that he makes his weekends available for students. I think you will really enjoy lessons with him!

I am really enjoying my lessons with Francesco! He did a great job quickly assessing where I am in my knowledge of Italian and incorporating that into the lessons. His explanations are clear and concise and I have no doubt my time with him will help me exceed my language learning goals.

I have been working with Francesco for several weeks and it has been fantastic! He is very easy going, but also takes the job seriously. It’s the perfect combination for my learning style. Every time I finish a lesson I feel accomplished and excited about the Italian language. Highly recommend Francesco!
