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.

Great lesson with Michela. As always really helpful and allowed the lesson to go off and dive into other areas as we went along and they cropped up.

Lovely lesson today. I enjoyed the speaking and listening at my pace. The chance to question and make connections in language is especially important to me... which we did today. Cheers, Mick! Andy

Big thanks to my teacher, Mick, for giving me the encouragement to improve my pronunciation when speaking and reading aloud...
