Ciao! I’m Mattia, a native Italian teacher from Bologna, one of Italy’s most historic and vibrant cities.

Over the past 7+ years, I’ve taught more than 7,000 hours of Italian lessons to students from all over the world. Working with learners from different cultures, ages, and goals has helped me develop a flexible teaching approach that adapts to every student.

My Teaching Approach
