Hi, I'm a native Italian teacher living in Salerno, a little city in the south of Italy near the Amalfi Coast.
I have been studying English and Spanish, so I know from experience that learning a language takes time and dedication. My aim is to make this process as pleasant and fun as possible.
I deal with many students around the world by giving language lessons, both in person, in Italian language schools, and online.
My passion for languages and my studies brought me to understand that languages are not just simple codes ruled by grammar norms, but that they are actually used to express ourselves as individuals with different backgrounds and cultures.
Lessons will focus primarily on the conversational aspect of the language by using textbooks and materials (e.g. PDFs, audiofiles, Googledocs) that I use in language schools in Italy.
Since I have the DITALS certification, I can help you pass CELI, PLIDA and CILS exams.
Flexibility will be guaranteed according to the student. All students will be asked to take a placement test that they will have to submit at least 3 days before the first lesson. We will be discussing the results during the fist lesson and then decide how to work together.
Since I also work in language schools, I strongly recommend booking in advance so I can arrange my agenda.
I’m ready, and you?

I've now been having lessons with Marcello for over two years and I am just as enthusiastic and excited about them as I was when I first started. We have such fun during our lessons and Marcello always finds new ways to make the process so enjoyable. Signing up with Marcello remains one of the best decisions I have made and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to learn Italian.

Marvelous lesson today. Started reading "I promessi sposi". Marcello is fantastic at explaining the history of Italy and Italian language and incorporating references to literature and historical events. It's like having a private professor.

Today we discussed some famous festivals in Italy. It was really interesting and engaging as always and I learned lots of new verbs and phrases.
