Michela is unrivaled in both her emotional and intellectual capacity as an instructor. She is able to meet you at whatever level you are and with whatever material/content you need. She is a gem.

Michela is such a great teacher, she has great materials and is fantastic with doing corrections in a positive way. She is very goal orientated, we have a plan to improve my A2 level and begin to prepare me to go to B1.

Oggi abbiamo lavorato sulla pronuncia e sull'ascolto. È stata una lezione fantastica. Ho imparato tantissimo, come sempre, da Michela. Susanna

This week I celebrated my 225th lesson with Michela. “Il tempo vola!” It is true, time has flown by quickly. I was thinking about my language level when I started my lessons with Michela and where I am now - I am incredible pleased to be speaking at a B2 level. There are many reasons why we want to learn the Italian language. Michela has structured my learning journey that fits my desired learning process. At our weekly lessons, the hour can be spent either as a free flowing conversation or structured discussing the homework. It is always, most importantly, a safe space to practice speaking Italian. I strongly believe my success in learning the language is due to Michela’s ability to teach. She is incredibly supportive, and knows when to give a little nudge to try something more advanced. Michela thank you for the past 225 lessons, I am looking forward to what we can accomplish together in our future lessons.
