Michela D
Qualified Italian teacher for all ages and levels, with over a decade of experience.
My teaching approach relies on practice and immersion in the language, through conversation and consumption of multiple medias (music, movies, books).
My main focus is making my students able to communicate and interact as soon as possible, so that they can enjoy their language-learning journey instead of just studying and waiting for a long time before they can actually use what they learned.
During our encounters we will talk, write and practice, intertwining the formal learning of grammar and vocabulary with the more entertaining usage of each skill you will acquire.
No matter the level you begin with, from first basic interactions to formal high-level discussions, we can work together to improve your skills and proficiency.
I am skilled and professional, but also flexible and easy-going.
My interests are mainly of the nerd-ish persuasion, such as fantasy and sci-fi novels, movies and series, boardgames, RPGs and suchlike.
I love learning new things and discovering old classics with my friends and my students, and this is mainly why I got my degree in philosophy and studied many different topics on my own.

For anyone struggling to learn Italian and looking for the perfect teacher, Michela should be your first call! She has both great patience and the ability to convey (difficult) Italian grammatical information in a way that enables her students to easily comprehend and absorb complicated structures, thus opening the way to the use of the wonderful Italian language...

I think that Mick has the patience of a saint. She has me talking on Italian for the best part of the lesson and corrected me, nicely, when necessary. Which was often! 😁 But... the system is working and for that I am very grateful. Cheers, Mick. Salute!

Mick is by far the best teacher I have experienced since I started my language learning journey for the simple fact that apart from her limitless patience, she is able to explain and convey complicated language rules and pronunciation. 5 stars sempre!! John.
