Learn Italian with a native speaker🇮🇹 — lessons available in English, Spanish, and Romanian Buongiorno a tutti! My name is Michele, I’m Italian but i’m currently living in Bucharest. I studied History in Bologna and Venice, and spent my Erasmus year in Madrid. Throughout my studies, I never let go of my greatest passion: languages. I speak Italian, English, Spanish, and Romanian, so I know exactly what it feels like to start from zero or to be surrounded by people speaking a language you don’t instinctively understand. I'm patient and curious to know you. Ti aspetto! ;) From the very first lesson, I help my students handle real, practical, everyday situations in Italian. I truly believe you can’t fully understand a place or a culture without speaking — and breathing — its language. And learning Italian becomes much more fun when you dive into my country’s history and traditions. Do you want to read Elena Ferrante in Italian? Want to watch Gomorra without subtitles? Let’s do it! The real question is: What part of the Italian language excites you the most? Let’s explore it together! 🇮🇹✨ I can teach Italian using English, Spanish, or Romanian as bridge languages — whatever makes your learning journey smoother and more enjoyable. I always tailor my lessons to each student’s goals: • What’s your level? • What do you want to strengthen? • What’s your learning style? • Which register do you need — formal, informal, business Italian…? My classes combine clear explanations with games, role-play, and natural conversation, always adapting to your pace.

We’ve entertained an interesting conversation that ranged from different aspects of Italian culture, culinary, and the many different particularities of the Italian language. My mistakes were corrected in a constructive and respectful way. These mistakes acted as springboards for new topics of the future lessons.

I’ve had many language teachers over the years, but this was genuinely the best learning experience I’ve had so far. From the very first lesson, he adapted immediately to my needs, level, and learning style. What made this lesson exceptional is not only his skill as a teacher, but also the depth he brings to every conversation. Being multilingual and a historian, he constantly enriches the lessons with fascinating insights about Italian culture, history, and the connections between Latin languages. The session never felt mechanical or textbook-driven, but rather playful and engaging. He is patient, creative, friendly, and very relaxed, which creates an atmosphere where speaking feels easy and free of pressure. At the same time, he gently guides and corrects you without ever making you feel self-conscious. An outstanding professor and an incredibly thoughtful person overall. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants to learn Italian and genuinely enjoy the process.

A wonderful Italian tutor who is attentive and knows what he is doing. He corrected my faults in a subtle way without making me feel uncomfortable. I enjoyed my first lesson and will continue to be inspired. Un professore molto in gamba! Grazie mille!

A Heartfelt Recommendation: An Authentic and Fun Learning Experience! ​I highly recommend Michele for learning Italian naturally. A Bologna native, he brings an authentic vibe that makes a real difference. His non-conformist, experimental approach skips dry textbooks for exciting, custom exercises. Since starting, Italian has shifted from a "chore" to a truly engaging experience. ​Why work with him: ​Adaptable: He tailors every lesson to your pace and interests. ​Great Prep: I actually enjoy his assignments; they’re always interesting and fun to discuss. ​Warm Vibe: He’s a great listener and a fantastic conversation partner. ​If you want a mentor and friend who keeps you motivated, Michele is the perfect choice!​
