Enthusiastic experienced & fully qualified Italian teacher

Ciao!

I am Michela and I come from Rome. I am a professional and qualified language teacher for secondary schools. I have been teaching languages since 2011 to all levels and backgrounds. I funded my own company for Language services' in 2018 in London and in 2021 in Utrecht (Giardino Italiano).

I will be happy to help you either learning from scratch or improving your skills! I am very good at differentiating tasks, and I always work tailoring my lesson on students' level and needs in order to help students to improve. Over the years I have gained experience in teaching students with all types of abilities. I have also experience in working with students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, AHDH, and autism.

I offer different types of courses (standard courses/ grammar through games/ conversation through topics/ conversation through games, music, films, cooking), using different tools and techniques, always trying to make my lessons fun, engaging, and well-structured. Since practice makes perfect, every lesson you will be given homework as independent learning is an extremely important part of the language learning process.

I am very passionate about learning languages and teaching them is just part of my inner-nature. I am a language learner like you, so I know all the struggles you might encounter in your learning journey. I have developed many techniques over the years to overcome difficulties so let me help you!
Moreover, I keep studying and researching psychology-pedagogy and teaching techniques in order to keep my skills up- to -date and to experiment with always new ways to help my students learning to the best of their abilities.

A presto!

About Me

Hi, my name is Michela and I come from Rome. I am a qualified teacher and have been teaching Italian and other languages since 2011, to all levels and backgrounds.

When I learn a language, I like doing it by having fun and through interesting activities. That is what I want also to achieve when teaching my lessons and creating more interesting lessons became my mission. If you are looking for a grammar driven lesson, this is not the right place as I use a communicative and project based methodology.
My lessons are taught in Italian since the beginning to give you the chance to fully immerse yourself in the language and to learn faster. Don't panic, you just need to trust the method!

I am very passionate about linguistics, language learning, travel, arts, games, music, cinema and theatre, nature, archery among other things.

English classes for every soul who just wants to be
English is a very accessible and important instrument. It allows you to see new perspectives, new versions of yourself. I want to expand your knowledge through practice. My classes include listening to music and speaking, writing, painting, reading, movies, vocabulary, nature, improving vocal sound, etc. I want to create private classes based on IT. I have worked on a flexible program, for each level, that allows me to create the private class with you. Allowing you to explore your abilities, your dreams, your needs, your own mind and heart while you learn a new language, need to practice, prepare for an exam or perfect your pronunciation. I believe we can all learn everything in the right places. - English is a very accessible and important tool. It allows you to see new perspectives, new versions of you.

Lezioni di scienze: dalle elementsari ai più curiosi
Today I got the Linguistic Maturità, with curricula in French, English and Spanish. For 5 years I continue to study different languages, in different languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Language, interest in grammar, culture and understanding are not secret, per me! With this enthusiasm I will wait for others to stop in a very simple way. Here we learn in the preparation of those written and oral, and in the study of the various disciplines.

Ciao! I am a native Italian and English speaker and I have been teaching teenagers and adults in the last ten years. A History, Cultural Heritage and Chemistry graduate, I am especially passionate about linguistics and different cultures! Our conversation lessons will help you learn and practice your Italian, whether you are a beginner or want to perfect the language. Topics will be tailored to your needs and can range from basic scenarios to more specific ones (professional, travel or cultural context). When necessary we can focus on specific grammar rules and expand vocabulary that is more important to you. Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests and real-life language use. In my lessons, I favour a flexible approach and encourage regular practice, which will definitely help you to develop your Italian and keep it active in the long run.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
