About me, Matteo...
Who am I?
I’m Matteo, a native Italian speaker from Rome, and I’ve travelled the world, picking up several languages along the way. I believe that the practical use of a language is key to truly understanding and enjoying a culture. My teaching style is interactive, focusing on real-life situations so you can feel confident whether you're ordering a coffee at an Italian café, navigating a local market, or making new friends abroad. I tailor each lesson to suit your needs, whether you’re learning solo, as a couple, or in a group, ensuring that the process is both enjoyable and effective.
Why learn Italian?
Italian is more than just a language—it’s the key to unlocking one of the most vibrant and culturally rich countries in the world. Whether you're a traveller wanting to explore Italy's beautiful cities, a food lover eager to understand the nuances of Italian cuisine, or simply someone who appreciates the charm of this romantic language, learning Italian opens doors to unique experiences.
Why learn with me, Matteo?
I believe that my background and experiences make me a great choice for your Italian learning journey. I’ve had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life, which has taught me the value of tailoring my approach to meet individual needs. My passion for Italy and its rich culture drives me to make each lesson engaging and meaningful, and I can recommend a pizzeria in almost every Italian city!
