Francesco Maiorca

My lessons are conversation-based from the very first minute, because I truly believe the best way to learn Italian is by actually speaking it, not just memorizing grammar rules in isolation. Every lesson is built around you: your current level, your goals, and the topics that genuinely interest you, so learning never feels generic or repetitive.

If you're just starting out, we'll build a solid foundation through simple, practical dialogues covering everyday situations like ordering food, traveling, introducing yourself, and handling common everyday conversations naturally. If you're at an intermediate or advanced level, we'll shift the focus toward fluency: discussing subjects you genuinely care about, correcting mistakes gently and in real time, and naturally expanding your vocabulary through real conversation rather than isolated exercises alone.

I like to keep things varied and engaging by mixing different materials and activities: short reading texts, audio and video clips, roleplay scenarios for real-life situations, and targeted grammar practice whenever it's genuinely needed. After every lesson, I also give you clear, honest feedback so you always know exactly what you're doing well and what to work on next time.

As a native Italian speaker who is also currently studying for a Master's degree myself, I understand firsthand what it feels like to learn something new, make mistakes, and slowly build real confidence. My goal isn't just to teach you grammar rules and vocabulary lists. It's to help you feel genuinely comfortable and confident using Italian in real situations, real conversations, and everyday real life.
