Professional Italian teacher, learning specialist, and screenwriter.
Ciao a tutti! Mi chiamo Francesco.
I am an Italian teacher, a learning specialist, and a screenwriter. I was born and raised in the majesty of Rome, and I love teaching Italian and sharing my culture.
Forget the old boring lessons with tons of grammar and no fun; I use e-learning tools and many activities to keep my students engaged. Once I have assessed your level and understood your goals, I will design the right course for you.
I will help you become fluent in Italian and sound like a local. My classes are a perfect blend of grammar, conversation, reading and comprehension, and, last but not least, writing. In addition, I will provide you with everything you need so you don't have to spend extra money on books.
I prepare students to obtain the language certifications Celi, Cils, and Plida.
In addition to my language courses, I also deliver writing classes. I can help you improve your writing skills, and edit your creative works, such as essays, scripts, and novels.
I love traveling, arts, sports, meditation, Tai Chi, and fancy cocktails! Yes, you heard right: fancy cocktails! What about you? What do you like? Let's chat about your interests, and of course, let's talk about Il Bel Paese!

Francesco is an amazing teacher! Very patient, attentive and fun at the same time. I’m always looking forward to the lessons and enojying them a lot (even the italian prepositions 🤪)

As an Italian-American, I wanted to grow my knowledge of the Italian language and culture to better understand my roots. I have had no previous Italian experience and Francesco has been such a joy to work with. He is committed to ensuring I understand everything we go over each lesson and provides a good amount of homework and other resources for me to check out to continue practicing beyond our scheduled sessions. I'm excited to continue learning and very grateful to have someone like Francesco as an awesome teacher! Looking forward to all of my future sessions with him!

Lessons with Franco are so much fun. I appreciate how he knows what I don't know before I even ask and I love the "light bulb moments" of clarity on new concepts because of his explanations. Topics and conversation are consistently at a speed that my brain can translate so I feel successful as a language learner.

After a number of lessons with Franco I successfully traveled to Italy and was able to communicate my basic needs with native speakers. Now one month later I am excited and know that regular practice is vital to stay in the "flow" of speaking and progressing on my language journey for my next trip to Italy. Thank you Franco for our "reintroduction" lesson today!! I can't wait for our upcoming scheduled lessons.
