Ciao! My name is Mauro, I am native Italian from Calabria! I studied International Relations at Bologna University, then I moved to Padua, for a PhD in History of Political Thought. I currently live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I love running, Mozart, tango (I'm trying to improve my dancing abilities...), cook, and culture.
I am a very passionate teacher, I love to share my language and my knowledge about Italy, and its culture, films, music, literature, arts, food!!! I firmly believe that learning is based on trust between teacher and student, and the first objective of my classes is to individuate student's objectives and preferences.
My teaching methodology is integrated: I think that it is important to work on all of linguistic abilities: oral and writing comprehension and production. I also think that lessons must be as much as fun as possible, and I use a lot of authentic material: songs, films, cooking recipes, newspapers, advertising and so on...

Mauro is a wonderful chap, and his approach to teaching Italian is simple: he speaks to you in Italian, and with a combination of using familiar situations, repetition and homework, you can't fail to learn. He wants you to get used to hearing Italian, whilst applying what you're learning as much as possible, and if you put in the work you soon see results. Absolutely would recommend to anyone who is serious about learning Italian!

Mauro is a great teacher - who lets you speak and you feel very comfortable talking with him! I am learning something new every lesson as well. So happy I found him! Robyn

I am so pleased I found Mauro! I needed to practice my Italian urgently for an upcoming meeting and he understood exactly what I needed to say and helped me use the correct phrases. I am looking forward to working with him as he understands your individual needs for your work but also for a more informal context. Highly recommend!
