Ciao! I am Andrea, Italian born and raised.

I have been an Italian teacher and translator for more than ten years.

Throughout the past decade I have been a tutor for students of all ages and education levels, including celebrities, opera singers, journalists and editors of the New Yorker Magazine. I also taught at NBC, Time Inc. and Fortuny, etc...

My students learned Italian, the vast majority became fluent.

I have developed this curriculum and method over thousands of teaching hours and now you have the opportunity to learn what other students have learned, at a fraction of the cost :)

Whether you are more of a visual person or auditory, this beginner level class is designed for you.

This is not just another Italian course, showing a picture of a cat, repeating “gatto” in Italian and promising you will be fluent. You could google "cat" in Italian. That won’t make you speak Italian.

Here, you will learn exactly what you need to learn and build the structure in an organic way. We go directly to the point, you understand, you learn, you have fun and you will speak Italian, really. So many students have, at any age.

During the course there will be time for learning and often time to test your speaking ability. We will also have virtual conversations to develop your speaking ability.

I will provide you with all the material. You won't need any book. You will receive homework, cheat sheets, do quizzes. You will be granted a certificate of completion. You will also be able to join the Facebook private group and find a community that is happy to speak Italian and discuss about Italian.

This course lasts a life time, you could go back and revisit, any time. You can access it anywhere, from any device.

What you will get with the "Complete Italian Masterclass with Andrea, Beginner Level":

- 20+ video lessons for a total of more than 2 hours

- Virtual conversation

- Homework

- Cheat sheets

- Quizzes

- Certificate of completion

- Bonus videos after completion

- Access to the Facebook private group

This course is for you. You’ll love it. Sign up!

Ciao ciao,

Andrea

Here are reviews from Andrea's students:

"Andrea is an incredible teacher. My boyfriend and I tried a larger Italian class, but didn't find it working too well for us. After just 3 weeks with Andrea, we feel like our basic Italian has improved very quickly, and we are having a blast doing it. Andrea is very flexible with timing, and accommodates our work schedules without hesitation. He is very punctual, and his positive and encouraging attitude make every week a lot of fun. We are extremely happy we found Andrea, and we are really looking forward to continuing our lessons with him. Definitely recommended!!! Thanks Andrea!"

“Andrea is smart, charming, always upbeat, and very inventive in figuring out the best way that each student learns. He makes learning Italian fun, even as he is teaching me the grammar. I'm working with him an hour a week to prepare for a trip to Italy. Give yourself a treat and study with him!”

Perri D.

"Learning Italian with Andrea was easy and fun. He is trustworthy and reliable! Within weeks of taking lessons I was conversational. I visited Italy in August and my friends were so impressed with my conversation skills. Andrea makes it easy to learn Italian by teaching through conversation - feels less like "learning" more like having a conversation with a friend. Thank you, Andrea!"

Courtney G.

"I've been working with Andrea for a little while now and he's the perfect teacher! He caters to exactly what you want and really listens to your needs. He is a pleasure to work with and we are always laughing every lesson. He picked up right away how I learn and continues to surprise me every lesson! Couldn't be happier in my choice!"

Vincent H.

"Having taken lessons before I am sure Andrea's lessons are the right way to go about learning and speaking Italian. I feel my conversation skills improve in one lesson. And most of all, it’s fun!"

Josephine J.

The best Italian teacher!!!

"Andrea is a great guy and an excellent Italian teacher. He is extremely reliable and responsive. Every lesson is fun and enjoyable. He has designed the sessions to fit my needs and abilities. I've taken lessons in classroom settings and one-on-one tutor sessions and, by far, Andrea is the best. The lessons are very conversational (all or mostly in Italian!), so it really helps me to listen and learn and understand. He's also given me great tips on how to remember things. I'm enjoying my lessons so much!! I highly recommend him. Lui è il miglior insegnante italiano!!!"

Howard C.

Andrea is patient, funny and most qualified. So glad i did this!!!

Susan C.

Great tutor and a genuinely nice guy - very helpful, though my boyfriend finally decided to step up and teach me (he's from Italy and is the reason I am learning), but Andrea really helped me get the ball rolling!

Chelsea G.

Andrea is the best!! Very patient and will go over the language with you until you feel comfortable. Even if that means repeating the same word or phrase a million times. :)
