Bio

Alessandro comes from a small city in the Northern Italy – close to Bergamo – where he obtained both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in European and Panamerican Languages and Literatures, with a focus on Italian, English, Russian and Spanish. After study periods, internships and teaching experiences in the US, Russia, and Australia, he chose to settle down in the latter in 2018. He has been teaching to adults and adolescents, both with private and group lessons.

Deeply passionate about Italian culture, Alessandro makes his lessons as fun and relaxed as possible, using a variety of approaches in order to enhance the student’s learning experience. As a former language student himself, he knows that everyone is different and thus tailors each lesson to meet the needs of the student.

Apart from teaching, he loves reading, watching movies, hiking, writing, and cooking. Famous (he says…) for his decadent, gluten-free ricotta and amaretti crostata, which is just like the Italian language: one bite and you’re hooked.
