About Me
italki teacher since Mar 10, 2017
My name is Filippo and as you might have guessed from my Neapolitan accent I come from Southern Italy. From Pompei, to be more specific, a small city you might remember from your history books. Just like you, I am a language student myself. I speak fluently English, Spanish and I'm on my way to becoming it in French.
Me as a Teacher
I have a lot of patience, a good sense of humor, and I love explaining the subtilities of Italian. I can easily adapt to your level. On top of that I am a good vibes provider, so you will completely refreshed after the class ;)
My lessons & teaching style
Even if you are just taking your first steps and can only say a few things, I will ALWAYS make you feel at ease. Rather than interrupting you, I will first send you a message in the chat, and ONLY when you don't have anything else to say I'll be taking the floor to correct your grammar/pronunciation slips, to rephrase your sentence in the right way or to suggest a better or different way to express something.
I offer two type of classes:
1) Laid-back conversation: that's the class for you if you just want to practice free conversation.
2) Film discussion: we will talk over movies. You can find more info in the lesson section.
I just introduced a new type of lesson: FILM DISCUSSION.

Filippo is the best Italian teacher that you gonna find, he is very punctual, supportive, engaging, honest and fun. When I booked our first class with him I knew anything about Italian language and he was very
patient with me. Today I'm sure that studying with him I will be able to achieve a fluency in Italian language.

Filippo's speech is very clear. He can slow down or simplify his Italian based on what you can understand. His English is excellent. He easily helps with words or meaning. He is relaxed, easy-going, and intelligent. His Italian is gentile and high quality. If you want some fun, ask him to teach you a few Napolitan dialect words!

After several lessons with Filippo, I can say he is my favorite Italian tutor. Before any lesson, I’m always a little nervous because I’m not sure if I will be able to express myself in Italian. But Filippo immediately makes you feel at ease once the conversation begins. Even though I’m a beginner, I like the lessons to be kept exclusively in my target language, and he does this magnificently. He has a way of explaining things in other words, which makes it easy for me to understand.
If you are a complete beginner, he also speaks English and Spanish perfectly and is also learning French. As a language learner himself, he understands your struggles and frustrations. He is very patient and allows me time to gather my thoughts. As opposed to others, when I stumble, they immediately say, “tell me in English.” This is downright discouraging for the language learner! Filippo never does this. He is also a great conversationalist, you will enjoy your classes with him!
