Michela Nazzaruolo

Michela is a joy to work with - she is always enthusiastic and encouraging and never loses patience.

Thinking about my path and progress, I have been a student of Michela since January 2024. Merged with my previous self-study knowledge working alongside a native (Michela) has allowed me to propel in encouraging ways. Anyone can teach, but Michela takes it a step further. Her attention, care, patience, and feedback have made learning Italian fun, exciting, educational, engaging, and fast-tracked toward my goals. Wanting to be fluent and reach a specific level seemed out of reach but, since working with Michela, I have been able to not only track my progress and gain real-time feedback from Michela but be encouraged to continue on my path and don't be afraid to learn something in a new way. Soaring my confidence to new heights. Our banter, and one-on-one chats allow me to both practice my Italian and connect in an even more meaningful way. Heightening my learning in ways I was missing before. I look forward to seeing what we accomplish together - even a year from now.

Michela è molto preparata, ed un bellissimo metodo di insegnamento. Consigliatissima a chi, come me, conosce molto poco l'inglese, e lo vuole imparare.

I’ve been studying with Michela for several years. She is an amazing teacher and conversation partner. She is always encouraging. Best of all, we laugh and laugh. It’s like talking with a friend and learning as you go. If you are lucky enough to get on her schedule, you will find learning Italian to be fun.

I feel very lucky to have found Michela, she is a wonderful teacher. Her classes are structured so that each lesson builds on the last, helping you build up your vocabulary, reading, and speaking in a coordinated, progressive way. She's consistently positive and energetic, always celebrating your improvements and achievements. Most importantly, she uses every mistake as a learning opportunity and provides timely and effective hints and connections to help you remember words, phrases, or concepts you're struggling with. Without question, I genuinely look forward to every class.

Ottima prima lezione con Michela!
