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.

Lovely lesson today. The realisation that I'm speaking and listening in Italian is exactly what I signed up for. Not perfect but the willingness to try, make my mistakes and learn is growing. Makes me want to study harder 😁

So glad I am back studying with Michela! Her calm, conversational, and intelligent approach to learning has totally renewed my motivation to learn. Michela is the best tutor out there.

I've been learning Italian with Michela and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She's an excellent teacher—super approachable, easy to talk to, and always makes me feel comfortable. She explains things clearly and takes the time to make sure I truly understand. Her lessons are engaging, and she creates a relaxed environment that makes learning feel natural and enjoyable. I'm really grateful to have found her!
