Ciao! I’m Claudio – Your Italian Language Teacher!

I was born and raised in beautiful Napoli, Italy, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Science. At 22, I moved to the U.S. and pursued my Teaching Credential at California Lutheran University in Los Angeles, CA.

Since then, I’ve been proudly teaching Italian at Ventura High School for the past 13 years, helping high school students fall in love with the Italian language and culture. I also have extensive experience tutoring adults of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners.

My teaching style is fun, interactive, and tailored to your needs. Whether you want to travel to Italy, connect with your heritage, or simply learn a new language for fun, our lessons will be personalized to help you reach your goals.

In our first meeting, we’ll talk about what you want to achieve and create a plan together. With a mix of games, conversation, grammar, reading, singing, and cultural insights, I’ll guide you every step of the way—making sure you enjoy every minute of the journey.

Let’s explore the language
of la dolce vita together.

Ciao ciao –
I look forward to meeting you!

Learn From A Highly Rated Professor!

Exceptional ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ On Thumbtack!

Working with Prof. Claudio has been great!

He teaches at a pace where I feel comfortable and challenged but still able to comprehend the content. He created his own book that he uses to teach, with each lesson there’s additional practice pages and I’ve found this very helpful. Claudio is flexible with scheduling and is always on time.
