Ciao!!!! 
My name is Dario, I am a native Italian from Napoli and I am
offering 
private lessons to both individual and groups. 
I have been teaching Italian for more than 6 years, to 
individuals and groups. 

I always recommend to start with a good book, the one I use 
at the moment is Prego (I use the 5th edition) so that you 
can start to build brick by brick the foundation of a solid 
language that will stay with you forever. I will guide you 
through the book helping you to easily understand it, we 
will do exercises, lots of exciting and fun practices.

About me: I am from Naples , the city of pizza and pasta, 
excessive gesturing and much more. 
I believe it's easier to learn in a non-judgmental, fun and 
joyful environment, but also with a steady guidance and with 
a clear goal in mind. 
So feel free to email me: satsangosho@yahoo.com
or call me: 510-3334438  
Ciao, a presto 
Dario

Dear Berkeley Parents,
my name is Valerio, I am an Italian grad student from Padova
currently studying at UC Berkeley with an EAP Scholarship. 

I have a passion for languages and I love teaching Italian:
I find it a perfect way to do a useful service and support
my studies.

I am a nice and easy going person who is often able to turn
learning Italian into a fun experience. In fact, my former
pupils said they have not only learned Italian, but they
also had a very good time. 

If you are interested in learning/improving your mastery of
the beautiful language of Dante, or just for information,
contact me! I can provide qualified references from Berkeley
(Faculty and people living in the city).
