"I’ve had 5 lessons now with Marcello, after trialing more than 8 other tutors on this platform and another. I selected Marcello as my primary teacher to help me achieve Italian proficiency for a couple of reasons. 1. He’s experienced, and is a professional language teacher. His passion is language teaching and it shows. 2. While many teachers offer “innovative” teaching methods, I was looking for someone who would work through a textbook with me, splitting our time across reading, writing, listening and speaking, and formally learning grammatical concepts. A textbook is very important as I like the concept of building on a foundation and seeing where I’ve been and where I’m going. Teachers who use random materials from the internet miss the opportunity to build confidence with known vocabulary and grammar. 4. He’s available when I need him in my time zone. 5. He corrects my spoken errors but doesn’t interrupt every time I make a mistake. Lots of teachers do this and it destroys confidence and make me lose track of what I’m trying to say, which is disillusioning. Marcello corrects me while being interested in what I have to say. The pace is good and Marcello is a nice guy - I look forward to our lessons! Thanks Marcello!"

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.
