About Me
italki teacher since Jul 6, 2017Me as a Teacher
Since 2009, I've been giving Italian Language and Culture courses to adults, including managers and university students. I offer courses for any level and Language Certification - like CILS, CELI and the new B1 level test for obtaining the italian citizenship - or interest whether tourism, work, study or simply a passion for the language. My lessons & teaching style
All courses will be tailored to your specific needs. I use to share a googledoc to take notes during the classes and a google-drive folder to collect all the course materials. For Certifications specific classes and materials will be provided. Classes can emphasize conversation, vocabulary, written Italian for academic and professional use. For those tourists, students or professionals focusing on the food and wine sector, I am especially qualified to teach specific courses.My teaching material

In this lesson we discussed customs relating to the New Year celebrations as well as progressing with the scheduled lesson subjects. I feel my confidence improving each week due to the excellent methods Michela uses to teach the Italian language . Thanks again Michela

Wow! Today’s lesson was my 150th lesson with Michela!
Michela is a wonderful teacher in every way: knowledgeable, caring and responsible. Always flexible and responsive to my needs as a student. I’m a language teacher myself, with a masters in teaching ESL, and I can say that Michela demonstrates all the qualities of excellence in teaching adults. It has been a joy to work with her.

Grazie mille Michela for another fantastic lesson. We are nearing the end of the language workbook and I must tell you I have noticed a tremendous improvement with my italian language skills. The verb tenses that you have introduced into my studies have increased my level of comprehension. I am very pleased with my progress and I look forward to the next language level. You have been a great support and you have provided me with excellent advice and direction. I am very fortunate. Alla prossima. Carola

Oggi Michela ed io abbiamo parlato di diversi autori che hanno vissuto e scritto durante la seconda guerra mondiale. E Michela mi ha presentato un nuovo autore di questo periodo. Continua ad essere una gioia leggere la letteratura italiana con Michela.
