About Me
italki teacher since May 10, 2021Interest topicTravelArtFood
Ciao!! My name's Micol, I am an Italian teacher! I am a very cheerful and talkative girl, I love the World and its wonderful cultures and colours. I am ready to show you the real Italian vibes and get you involved into my country's broad cultural horizon! :)
I love reading books, dancing and doing portraits of people of different eye shapes and colors because I am in love with the World!
I travel, as much as I can, as soon as I can. Close to home or very far way. I love yoga, healthy cooking, the sound of the rain and the colors of the leaves in autumn and the warmth of the sand in summer. I look at the stars sometimes but when the sun rises I am hyped and ready to rock the day!Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching for years, inspired by my mum's work (teaching is a family thing :) As a child I used to listen to my mum teaching and that's how I soon realized that was my cup of tea as well! :D
I am very patient and smiley. I love the power of words and I speak very clearly, using a large variety of words. Moreover, I am very good at telling tales and get people involved into the magic and charm of the Italian language and culture :)My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailor-made depending on my students' needs and aims. I generally prefer focusing on conversation because language learning finds its best expression when you can actually talk to other people :) I usually like explaining the grammar in a simple and effective way and put it immediately into practice throughout the lesson so that my students can actually feel they are learning how to speak :)
Having experience as a language tutor for exam preparations, I am also ready to help students preparing for CIELI exams, FIDE exams or other Italian language certifications.My teaching material

Excellent! This was my trial lesson. I have a degree in language teaching and Micol clearly follows all of the best practices to have a conversational lesson all in Italian (even for a beginner like me)! She's lively and helpful with good energy and easy to understand. She started with a basic lesson that was very practical for my level. Thank you - I will definitely be booking ongoing lessons with Micol!

I noticed that after the lessons with Micol I feel myself much better than before) No meter if I was tired or I had a bad mood -- after my Italian classes my mood is wonderful and I'm ready to work and to do something) Micol is as effective as my psychologist))
Besides her English is excellent and it helps me understand new grammar and some words!

Absolutely love all my classes with Micol. This lesson we talked about La Festa di Oggisanti and the customs / traditions in Italy during their festive holiday the Day of the Dead. Through Micol I feel I've learned so much about Italian customs and traditions and I am so happy to have not only developed my language but cultural understanding of this wonderful country. Grazie Micol! Sono felice che io ti conosco:)

Micol is helping me to prepare for the national language test. Probably it's not easy for her due to my learning/understanding difficulties, but she is focused, patient, and kind. Wonderful teacher!
