About Me
Hi, Sergio here. Grammar and pronunciation stickler, but also a patient and certified language teacher for foreign learners. Very passionate about languages, accents, and pronunciation since childhood. At present I speak more than 6 languages. Some play with numbers all the time, I play with words. Born and raised in Milan, Italy, then I lived in the U.S. France, Ireland, and Spain. Been living in Costa Rica since 2009. My dream is to teach Italian enunciation to opera singers, but I'm also open and qualified to teach any other aspect of my language to students of all levels. You tell me your needs, and I'll take it from there.

My first lesson with Sergio was great! He is tailoring the lessons specifically for me. This is MUCH better than using online software! I am extremely excited to continue with my Italian lessons.
