“Mattia is a passionate teacher who creates his own curriculum, with methods that help you learn in your own way. He was my Italian teacher for 3 years, and I learned vastly more from him than I did my own Italian husband in the 16 years we’ve been together! Mattia is a very kind person, curious about the world, has a great sense of humor, and humility in how he guides learning. I’d highly recommend him as a teacher!”

“Mattia is simply the best teacher I have encountered in studying Italian.  He provides a comfortable and fun learning atmosphere that won’t be boring or intimidating but instead like being on vacation with Italian friends.”

“Mattia is one-of-a-kind.  He’s a skilled language teacher, but more than that he’s a true Renaissance man — knowledgeable about every aspect of Italian culture from history, art, literature and politics to music, film, food and wine. Studying with him is like taking a trip to Italy every week.”

I am still happily studying Italian with Mattia (5 years strong). He makes learning so much fun, is great at setting attainable goals at all levels, and is very supportive and inspiring on a one to one basis as well as in a class!

“By far the best language teacher I’ve had. Mattia is not merely bilingual; he is an experienced professional teacher who understands how to communicate the building blocks of Italian to someone who does not know the language. It helps that he is also fluent in English and was able to explain how Italian ‘works’ by comparing it to English grammar and usage.”

“Mattia is an excellent teacher of Italian. He understands what each student’s particular challenges are in learning grammar and reading texts. He has a clear and creative way of teaching the most difficult aspects of Italian grammar so that it becomes less of a struggle and a more enjoyable process.“

“If you wish to learn from the best Italian teacher ever, look no further. Mattia Milone is exceptional in every area of teaching.  His grammar instruction is clear and precise.  If you have the good fortune of studying Italian literature with Mattia, he will expand your horizons on Italy’s history and culture.  All the while, you will laugh and have a great time.  Mattia é un insegnante incredibile. Non perdere l’opportunitá di studiare con lui!”

“Mattia is an experienced teacher who shares his enthusiasm for literature, music, film and history when teaching Italian. He researches and provides many interesting supplementary materials related to what we are learning including articles and videos to help the students with context of subject matter. He is passionate about teaching the language and building long-lasting relationships with his students based on mutual respect and shared appreciation for Italian culture.”

“Not only is Mattia a great instructor, his expertise in language and literature extends to culture, politics, history, food, wine and coffee!  His style is interactive, friendly and enthusiastic.  I highly recommend Mattia.”

“Mattia is a bright, smart, and engaging teacher of the Italian language. His deep knowledge of literature (both Italian and English), his understanding of sometimes opaque Italian grammar, and his funny and interesting observations and conversation all contribute to making him one of the best Italian teachers I have had.”

Mattia is an excellent teacher. He is sensitive to the student’s needs and how best to help. He makes learning fun too.

BRAVO Mattia.

Mattia is an esperto in and appassionato of language, but also of music, film, food, and other forms of culture – whether from Italy or from his adopted United States. He brings all of this expertise and passion to his teaching, which makes his classes both effective and tons of fun.
