Ciao! I’m Giacomo, a native Italian teacher with over 15 years of international teaching experience.
I’ve lived and worked in several countries across Europe and Latin America, and I’ve taught students from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and beyond. This international background allows me to adapt naturally to different cultures, learning styles, and time zones.
I work with complete beginners as well as advanced learners. Many students come to me saying “I know some Italian, but I freeze when it’s time to speak” — and that’s exactly where my approach helps. From the very first lesson, I create a relaxed environment where speaking feels natural and confidence grows step by step.
Lessons are speaking-focused and highly personalised. Grammar is always present, but never overwhelming — it supports communication rather than blocking it. Beginners appreciate clarity and patience, while more experienced students value precise feedback and lessons shaped around their real difficulties.
In addition to Italian, I also teach English and Spanish professionally, and I’m a Cambridge English examiner. This allows me to explain language structures clearly and intuitively, especially for students who feel more comfortable learning through English or Spanish.
Many students tell me they feel at ease and confident very quickly. For me, learning a language works best when there’s trust, connection, and enjoyment — it should feel less like a traditional class and more like a meaningful conversation.
Outside teaching, I’m a professional musician and a passionate traveler and cinema lover — interests that often naturally become part of our lessons.
If you’re looking for an Italian teacher who combines structure, flexibility, and a very human approach, I’d be happy to meet you and see if we’re a good fit.
