Private Italian Tutor in San Francisco and Online

**Italian Lessons for Everyone!**

Ciao! My name is Dario, and I am a native Italian speaker offering Italian lessons for anyone aged 18 and over, at any level, via Skype or Zoom.

**About Me:**
I am from Naples, the city known for its pizza, pasta, and expressive gestures. My Italian is clear and free from dialect, and I always strive to speak slowly.

I have been tutoring Italian for 20 years, and I do it with great passion. I love helping people learn this beautiful language, and I tailor each lesson to meet the specific needs of my clients.

**For Beginners:**
I always recommend starting with a good textbook. Currently, I use *Prego* (6th edition) because it helps you build a solid foundation for learning Italian. I will guide you through the book, making it easy to understand. We will complete exercises and practice speaking, and I will help you memorize many Italian words in a fun and relaxed way.

**For Intermediate/Advanced Learners:**
Conversation will be the key focus during our lessons. You will learn idioms, proverbs, accents, and common expressions. We will practice the language by recreating typical situations you would encounter in Italy, such as shopping, buying tickets, renting a place, dining at a restaurant, and meeting friends.

**To Have an Online Lesson:**
You’ll need a reliable internet connection that works well with Skype or Zoom, along with a camera, microphone, and headphones. Payment can be made via Venmo (preferred), PayPal, or Zelle.

The *Prego* (6th edition) textbook—the blue one—is highly recommended. It’s very convenient and preferred over the latest editions because those editions are missing two chapters on the subjunctive. I’m sure you will find it both enjoyable and useful. We will also incorporate many online materials into our lessons.

“I believe people learn more quickly in a non-judgmental, fun, and joyful atmosphere, while also receiving steady guidance.”

I look forward to meeting you!

Ciao, a presto!
Dario
