Native speaker Italian tutor

Massimo T.

Highly recommended

I began learning with Massimo at a very basic level where I could not read or understand much spoken Italian at all, and in a short time he has simplified and broken down the rules of the language and now I'm able to have conversations and feel confident in expressing myself in Italian. His teaching style really relates to you and keeps you engaged and makes learning fun and easy. I would recommend anyone at any level that wants to learn Italian to book with Massimo!

helped me enormously with Sicilian pronunciations!

Massimo was an enormous help to me! I had a list of hundreds of Siciilian words and I needed them pronounced on a recording and he did it BEAUTIFULLY and EFFICIENTLY!! Massimo saved me. I highly recommend...

Patient, knowledgeable and fun to work with

Massimo is well prepared but also able to integrate vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation throughout the lesson. My time with him flew because I was having so much fun. Massimo is excellent with details and really wants you to learn Italian, not just the rules. I’m very motivated and impressed!

Excellent Teacher!

We did some free style conversation and reviewed an exercise about Piacere from our last lesson. I also learned the Personal Pronouns, both Direct and Indirect. And we reviewed a paragraph I wrote about my home town. We each lesson, I feel we go a bit further into the Italian language. He's great!

very attentive

Massimo takes a lot of time in between sessions to give exercises and tips as needed. He is serious and has a well thought out curriculum. He also reviews as needed.

A fantastic teacher

Massimo is a very friendly, professional and skilled teacher. I worked with him to get ready for a trip to Italy. in a fairly short period of time he helped me go from zero Italian to feeling comfortable being able to communicate in many situations that I might find myself in as a traveler and even having a bit of conversational Italian! He really listens to what your goals are and tailors the lessons to you. His lessons are well structured and he provides an ongoing, personalized document including all concepts covered in the lessons for easy reference and weekly exercises to complete on your own that really helped keep me on track. He's also just a very nice guy who is extremely patient with beginners and really makes learning a language fun and engaging! I was very pleased with my lessons and highly recommend him!

I think Massimo is great. He seems very knowledgeable about Italian and about language structure in general. I am looking forward to several months of training with him.

Great for family lessons

We just started family lessons with Massimo, so far it has been great. He is very patient with the kids and encourages them to find the right pronunciation without making them feel bad for not pronouncing things wrong. I'm looking forward to more lessons.

Excellent communication and understanding

Massimo took the time to assess where I am in learning and took time to understand what my goals are then immediately began a lesson plan with me. I have difficulty with learning sometimes but he is patient and very perceptive,
