Thank you Michela for not just being a wonderful Italian teacher, but a kind and wonderful human being as I navigated a sad time and still managed to have a nice Italian lesson.

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.

Good lesson chatting about impossible cities to live in and I tried to use some of the new vocabulary about the environment and continuing to incorporate subjunctive constructions in real time.

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.

Great lesson! More complex topics leads to more complex language. Wonderful to put into action the grammar we learn in the text.

I wish I didn’t have to work and could just learn Italian full time. 😂
