Hello everybody!
I am Mirella, and I am an Italian native speaker.
I graduated from Orientale, in Naples, where I studied Japanese, Chinese and English languages, cultures and literatures. So, let's say I know the struggles with learning a new language!
Right now I am living in the beautiful city of Naples, in the south of Italy.
Naples has its own dialect, and if you have some questions about it, feel free to ask!
I love teaching, playing the violin and singing (@itsarmille). I've always thought music and learning a new language have a special link together. Learning by heart the lyrics of a song in another language can really help us to memorize new words and sentence patterns.
Me as a Teacher
- I am very kind and flexible.
- I try to adapt myself on your needs when it comes to teaching.
- I will adapt the level of my Italian to an Italian level you will be surely able to understand.
- I want to know what are the things you find more difficult to learn and memorize to help you reach your goals faster.
- I really care about my students and about their progress in learning.
- I am open to any kind of feedback and any kind of requests in order to make our lessons the best for you.
- I strongly believe that learning a new language with songs can be a very funny way to improve!
My lessons & teaching style
My way of teaching is entirely based on your needs and what I recommend you to do is:
- BOOK A TRIAL LESSON with me, it is a very important starting point! During this lesson - that lasts about 30 minutes - we will talk about your current level, your goals and interests, on which our next lessons will be based.
- Next, I'll write you a message including the STUDY PLAN I think best suits you.
- During our lessons I will provide some materials, be it some podcasts, readings, YouTube videos, grammar PDFs, grammar exercises, some homework and so on.
IMPORTANT: what I need to know to create a plan for you is HOW MUCH TIME you can commit yourself at the best.

Fantastic first lesson with Mirella. She provided some very useful grammar and pronunciation tips. We also had a wonderful conversation related to the Italian language, its dialects, and her own language journey. I'm very excited for the next lesson!

Mirella was a wonderful teacher that help me breakdown and understand the meaning of my favorite Italian song. Additionally she helped me learn some Italian grammar that confused me in the past. 5 star review for a 5 star teacher. I’ll be reserving more lessons right away.

Mirella is an exceptional Italian teacher whose deep knowledge and enthusiasm make learning the language both engaging and rewarding. Not only does she bring expertise in Italian, but she also offers valuable insights into Napoletano and the rich cultural heritage of Naples, adding depth and authenticity to her lessons.
Her teaching style is fluid and dynamic, focussing on conversation to build fluency naturally. She clarifies linguistic details while ensuring that key grammar topics are reviewed in a way that reinforces learning. Her energy and passion for the language create a motivating and enjoyable learning environment, making each lesson a joy.
I highly recommend Mirella to anyone looking to improve their Italian with a knowledgeable and engaging teacher!

Otra encantadora lección con Mirella. Ha sido como una plática de amigos, en la que no me preocupo por cometer equivocaciones, porque ya se que Mirella todo el tiempo me va a corregir de manera muy gentil. He disfrutado mucho de platicar con ella, a la vez que de tener la oportunidad de seguir practicando mi italiano. Ya espero la siguiente sesión.
