    About me

    Ciao! My name is Donato and I love languages, nice to meet you! 😊


    🌍​ ABOUT ME


    I was born and raised in Sicily, Italy. ​​


    Italian is my mother tongue but I love learning languages. I achieved a C2 English certificate and I am currently learning Korean! 📚


    As a language learner, I know the struggles of getting lost in a completely new language: from not being able to understand a single word in a tv show to getting lost in endless grammar books. 🙅‍♂️


    That’s why I developed a learning method that allowed me to learn languages in a fun and efficient way: through immersion! 😜​✅


    👨‍🏫​ CLASSES


    My teaching style focuses on learning through speaking, reading and listening based on your interests. This way, grammar and vocabulary will only be a side quest (although a very important one❗), while most of the learning is done through immersion!


    🟢 The lessons will be suited on your level and goals, so don’t worry! 🟢​


    If you’re a beginner, we’ll start from the basics, while if you’re already comfortable with the language, we’ll work together on making you sound more natural and explore the italian culture. 🍝


    Your interests will be the root of your learning journey 🤲​​


    Some interests we might share: language learning (that’s for sure 😉), music 🎶​, working out 💪, reading 📖, movies and tv shows 🎬​​ art 🎭​ cars 🏎️ traveling ✈️


    I have teaching experience in the field of private tutoring, specifically with: Italian, English and piano.


    👨‍🎓​ Remember, learning a new language can also be fun: so don’t hesitate, whether you want to visit this beautiful country or you are more interested in our history and culture, it is never too late to take the first step!


    I will provide you with all the material you need. Just book your trial lesson and I’ll see you on the other side… see you soon!

    My specialties

    Conversational Italian

    I have experience helping students practice their conversation skills one on one with me. I tend to use conversation practice even with beginner students, in order to make sure they start using the language naturally.

    Italian for beginners

    I have experience teaching students who have no prior experience with the language. In this case I start from the very basics (alphabet, numbers etc.) to make sure nothing is left behind.

    Intensive Italian

    I have experience teaching students who need to learn a lot of material in a short amount of time. I usually suggest taking 2 lessons per week in order to maximize the learning process.

    CILS

    I have experience preparing students for Italian Certificate exams such as CILS. I usually suggest getting a certificate when the level is above b1 following the CEFR scale.
