About Lorenzo


Bio

Hello! My name is Lorenzo. I am Italian, and I grew up in Bergamo, a beautiful city one hour from Milan. I currently live in Michigan with my wife and three kids. I have experience teaching Italian language to adults, home school kids (middle school and high school students) as well as classes at the college level.

Whatever might be your case, if you are complete beginners who approach the language for the first time, or you have been studying Italian for a while but you feel like you are...

Hello! My name is Lorenzo. I am Italian, and I grew up in Bergamo, a beautiful city one hour from Milan. I currently live in Michigan with my wife and three kids. I have experience teaching Italian language to adults, home school kids (middle school and high school students) as well as classes at the college level.

Whatever might be your case, if you are complete beginners who approach the language for the first time, or you have been studying Italian for a while but you feel like you are not improving as much as you would like, or you are advanced students who just need some extra practice, I am your guy!

I got a BA and MA degree from the University of Milan, and an MA in Italian Studies from the University of Notre Dame, in South Bend, IN. After graduation, I moved to Bloomington, IN to teach Italian language at IU, and now I'm in Michigan.

So, if you are looking for an Italian tutor, I would be happy to help you! I love my country and Italian language, and I would be very excited to teach it to you! I strive to incorporate all the language skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing) in each of my lessons, with a special focus to the culture, but at the end of the day my goal is to adapt my lesson to your needs. One rule is consistent though: my lessons are student-centered, so don't expect a boring lecture on grammar: you will start practicing Italian since the very first day!

Great first lesson!

I was nervous about starting Italian tutoring, but Lorenzo was super easy to work with. He came up with a lesson plan that fits my goals and was a great teacher. Looking forward to my next class!

Patient, kind and very knowledgeable.

I've been taking lessons from Lorenzo for the past couple of months in preparation for a long trip to Italy, and it's been a great experience. I've learned a lot from him. It takes me a long time to think of how to say what I want to say in Italian and I speak very slowly, but he is incredibly patient and has never made me feel rushed. He's also just really enjoyable to speak with and is very kind. My Italian has definitely improved since starting lessons with him and he's helped me gain a better understanding of the past and future tenses. Taking lessons with him has been the best decision ever! Grazie mille, Lorenzo!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Learning a new language is sometimes overwhelming and difficult but Lorenzo takes his time with me, answers all my questions and is extremely patient. I am two lessons in and I feel like I am getting a grip on the language. Watching back the lessons is extremely helpful and it allows me to feel more confidant going into the next lesson. Lorenzo is a great guy and I would highly recommend him as an Italian tutor.

Lorenzo is a great Italian teacher!

We always discuss different topics, in our lessons speaking in Italian. Lorenzo provides grammatical and vocabulary information which helps improve my knowledge of the language. It is always an enjoyable session!

Lorenzo is a great Italian teacher!

Lorenzo is helping me with grammar and conversation. Lorenzo is very patient and a great teacher. As I wanted to work on my grammar and vocabulary knowledge, Lorenzo has provided me, as I had requested, with sentences that I can translate on my own and review with him in our next lesson for accuracy.

Best Italian tutor you will find!

I have been taking Italian lessons with Lorenzo for several months and he is an excellent tutor in every way. I grew up in the US with my parents speaking an Italian dialect at home, which is very different than the standard Italian, and so I have had to start from the beginning to learn the language and grammar correctly. Lorenzo is a professor of Italian, having attended the University of Milan and the University of Notre Dame, and is currently teaching at a university in the midwest. His tutoring lessons are exactly like taking a great college Italian course, but with the added benefit of personal one-on-one attention from the professor. Lorenzo comes prepared to each tutoring session with detailed powerpoint slides that help me learn grammar, vocabulary and give me practice speaking. He is patient when I make mistakes, and gives me detailed answers and explanations to my questions. As a native speaker of Italian, Lorenzo is able to give his students insight into exactly how the language is spoken in Italy, and he's been trained in teaching Italian to foreign students. If you are serious about learning Italian, you will not find a better tutor than Lorenzo!

Great professor!

Had a wonderful first lesson! Lorenzo was very methodical and very patient. We started with very simplistic phrases, and then built upon them. We had a great and fun time, and I am excitedly waiting my next lesson!
