Valerio Sapienza

Hi everyone. My name is Valerio and I'm a native Italian speaker who was born and raised in Turin, Italy.
I'm a programmer and love philosophy, meditation, and everything related to self-development. In my spare time, I also enjoy watching movies, learning languages, and spending time with my friends.

I've been teaching Italian online to foreigners for some years.
I think the most important part of teaching is human contact. It’s very important for me to put students in a comfortable and trusting environment.
it's also really important that you talk… the more you speak, the more mistakes I can find and the more new expressions, and pronunciation tips can be taught.
I'm patient and friendly: the primary and most important reason to take this type of class is to find an opportunity to practice. Therefore, you need someone who is understanding, who you won’t feel embarrassed to talk with, especially if you are a beginner.
The content of the class is flexible: students have different backgrounds and learning styles.
So we will discuss and set your learning targets in order to tailor our lessons to your unique needs.
If you don't have specific preferences I like you to speak about what you are interested in: I believe that languages should be a vehicle and not an end in themselves.
While you speak I write the corrections so you can see them live but are not interrupted and you can speak freely and it will be just like talking to a friend!
