Michela Badii

I have been studying with Michela for a couple of months now. She is a fantastic teacher! I am still in the stage where I feel like a beginner and need to study a lot more. But I'm also amazed at how much I have learned in such a short time. She is very patient and encouraging. She is also generous with her time and her help. I feel lucky to have found her on this site! I plan to continue studying with her until I feel much more comfortable holding conversations in Italian.

She is truly the italian queen of italki. Her full agenda and loyal students say everything about her teaching. It is hard to get a spot in her calendar, but when having class with her time goes by so fast. If you can plan your agenda ahead of time, I recommend her for all levels. Also, she can speak English and French fluently so she can teach in both languages.

Great lesson. Picked the next book I’ll read! Can’t wait!!

Michela has a sixth sense about language. When I struggle to express a nuanced thought she is able to both cognitively and emotionally ascertain precisely what it is I'm trying to say. This is a rarity. Her humor and her empathy are a winning combination which augments her obvious intellect. Finally, she has an ocean of patience for me, far more than any instructor with whom I've previously worked. Her ability as an instructor is unrivaled, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Very enjoyable conversation discussing holiday traditions!! I enjoy learning about Italian culture. 😊

Great lesson. Can’t believe I’m getting close to two years of learning Italian!! B2 textbook here we come!
