Sobre mim
🇮🇹 Italian teacher & conservatory-trained jazz vocalist · Palermo 🎵
Ciao! I'm Ruggero, an Italian language teacher and a jazz vocalist trained at the Conservatory of Palermo (Diploma cum laude in Jazz Voice, 2017). I've been teaching Italian online since 2016 — more than 3,500 one-to-one lessons with adults from thirty different countries. I hold a degree in Translation & Italian as a Second Language and a certification from the University for Foreigners of Perugia.
I love teaching my language and culture, and I bring real attention, energy and creativity to every lesson. My background as a professional jazz singer also helps me guide students through the sounds and rhythm of Italian pronunciation — the music of the language.
During my lessons I focus mainly on conversation, adapting the speed and complexity of my speech to each student's level. Even if it takes a whole hour just to master "Buongiorno", that's perfectly fine.
I keep lessons dynamic and engaging by using a variety of materials — videos, songs, articles, role-play, literary texts. Grammar is also included when students want it, usually for about 10-15 minutes per lesson, explained in a clear and practical way and discovered inside a real text rather than out of a manual.
Over the years I've also taught in private schools, in small groups, and even in large classes at an immigration center in Palermo. These experiences taught me that learning works best when it's serious but never boring.
My motto: mistakes are essential to learning. Make them — I'll correct them, you try again. That's how you actually start speaking a language.
If you'd like to discover Italian in a friendly and rigorous environment, book a trial lesson and we'll start by figuring out where you want to go and how to get there.

Minhas aulas experimentais
Our first lesson is all about you. I'll ask why you want to learn Italian — travel, family, work, music, literature — and what's worked or hasn't worked for you so far. Then we'll have a real Italian conversation: I'll calibrate to your level second by second, even if you're a beginner.
By the end of our hour together, you'll have a clear picture of how I teach and a small plan we can build on next time.
