About Giacomo
Hello and welcome to a world where learning Italian becomes not just a goal, but a journey we embark on together. My name is Giacomo, and I'm here to guide you through every step of your language-learning adventure with expertise, passion, and a commitment to excellence.
I hold two master's degrees that form the foundation of my teaching approach and content knowledge. My first master's in Foreign Languages and Literatures was obtained from the University of Catania in Italy, an experience that solidified and deepened my appreciation for the cultural nuances of languages. My second master's, in Romance Languages, was awarded by the University of Oregon, where I further enhanced my teaching methodologies and linguistic insights.
Teaching has been a calling for me from a young age. I've been fortunate to win various fellowships that allowed me to teach languages across different levels and contexts. This journey started with my year in Spain, a pivotal experience that enriched my expertise in the teaching of Italian to foreign students.
Following Spain, my time living in the US has been instrumental in refining my approach to teaching. Here, I've developed a keen ability to connect with a wide number of foreign speakers, understanding their unique challenges and perspectives. This experience has also enhanced my skill in teaching students who are native English or Italian heritage speakers, equipping me with strategies that bridge language learning gaps effectively and efficiently.
Choosing me as your tutor means you're not just getting a teacher; you're gaining a mentor who is deeply invested in your success. My educational background and multicultural teaching experiences allow me to offer a comprehensive and nuanced learning experience that is both effective and engaging. I'm not just teaching my native language; I'm opening doors to the rich world of stories and opportunities inherent to the Bel Paese.
I tailor each lesson to suit your goals, needs, and learning style. Whether you're beginning your Italian journey or looking to achieve fluency, I'm here to support, challenge, and inspire you. Let's make learning Italian a memorable part of your life's story.

As a forward-thinking Italian tutor, I bring a mix of youthful energy and robust experience to each lesson, drawing from my diverse teaching background in Italy, Spain, and the USA. My teaching philosophy is built around you, the learner. I understand that each student's journey is unique, and this insight shapes every aspect of my approach.
I am constantly updating my methods to ensure the most effective and engaging learning experience. My approach is deeply rooted in using the target language as the primary means of instruction. By employing scaffolding techniques, I ensure that you are supported at every step of your learning journey, from absolute beginner to advanced levels. The goal is to have you speaking Italian confidently and naturally, from the very first lesson, by focusing on practical language usage that caters to your specific linguistic needs.
Each lesson is a carefully crafted blend of structure and flexibility. While I tailor the lesson plan to meet your individual goals and needs, a typical session might include:
- A warm-up conversation to immerse you in Italian from the start.
- Interactive activities focusing on real-life scenarios and conversations.
- Grammar and vocabulary exercises integrated into speaking practice.
- Cultural insights to enrich your language learning with context and depth.
- Feedback and constructive guidance are integral, ensuring you know exactly how you're progressing and where your focus should be.
My lessons are designed for learners of all levels and specificities. Whether you're pursuing a degree, looking to enhance your professional skills, or simply learning Italian for the joy of it, I have the expertise to support your goals. My flexible approach means that I can adapt to various learning objectives, whether you need to start from scratch, refine advanced skills, or focus on particular areas such as business Spanish, cultural nuances, or exam preparation.

Perfect! Giacomo is a highly knowledgeable and effective teacher. I came in with a knowledge of how to read and write Italian but I was highly unconfident speaking the language. We dove right into practicing conversations. Whenever I had a question, he could explain things in detail in a way that I could understand. He adjusts lessons as necessary based on things I need to work on. I would recommend him 100%.
- Great dedication and passion for the Italian language and culture. Eager to learn and improve every time we see each other!Giacomo's response :

Giacomo is highly knowledgeable and an effective teacher. I came in having previously studied Italian many years ago, comfortable with reading and writing but not confident with my speaking abilities at all. We dove right in practicing conversations. Whenever I had a question about grammar or vocabulary, he always had an answer that I could easily understand. He takes the time to explain things to me in detail and adjusts his lessons as necessary. I would recommend him 10/10.
