About Me
italki teacher since May 4, 2014Interest topicReadingArtTravel
I am a polyglot from Italy, with a MA in Translation. I have been teaching Italian and Latin full-time since 2010. I offer French and English lessons to Italian speakers, and I can also teach you Venetian!
I am known as "the Euroglot", since I can speak 10 European languages. I also have a basic knowledge of a dozen more, maybe yours too!
I love travelling and have visited many European countries and Morocco so far. I enjoy getting to know new people and cultures. I am a member of Postcrossing: it's a great project if you want to make new friends and improve your language skills.
Me as a Teacher
Do you ever feel in trouble during your trips abroad?
Would you like to improve your knowledge of the Italian or French cultures before travelling to these beautiful countries?
Have you ever wished to read the Latin classics before giving up because it was all Greek to you?
Look no further!
I am the man you need to polish your writing and speaking skills while raising your cultural awareness.
My students describe me as a patient and supportive teacher, so do not be afraid of me: I promise I will not bite!
When you book your first lesson, please write me to introduce yourself. Tell me about your level in the language you want to learn, and also your goals and motivation for learning it.My lessons & teaching style
My classes will boost your language level and cultural awareness. We will do this through a balanced mix of different activities, such as conversation, text analysis, written compositions, and other exercises. These can vary depending on your needs or your weak points.
I can provide you with all the learning materials you need.
If you commit to taking regular classes (ideally, at least two per week if you are a beginner), you will soon notice dramatic improvements in your written and oral expression.
What are you waiting for? Don't miss this opportunity and book your first lesson with "The Euroglot" right now!
We can talk over Skype or the italki Classroom.My teaching material

Michele is an awesome teacher, he takes his time in explaining everything you need to know when it comes to speaking Italian. I mean he teaches you not just the formal language but also a more detailed way of expressing yourself so you can speak like a local! The classes are always fun and he’s willing to answer questions through email which helps a lot too! Highly recommend!!

Michele is an excellent teacher. I have been learning with him for over a year and, while I still have much to learn, my skill has increased substantially! I appreciate his expertise and his manner of instruction. I would highly recommend Michele to anyone who is serious about learning a language!

Michele è un insegnante dotato di grande pazienza e vasta conoscenza delle lingue che insegna. Con la sua pacatezza è in grado di mettere a proprio agio lo studente, il quale si trova a parlare con un amico e non con un insegnante. Questo dà a Michele la capacità di correggere costantemente lo studente sulla pronuncia e sulla grammatica senza appesantire la conversazione. A questo si deve aggiungere il fatto che le sue lezioni si basano sull'utilizzo di canzoni, testi e altri ausili molto utili (come la pagina condivisa dedicata agli argomenti, parole nuove e regole grammaticali trattati durante le lezioni e sempre consultabile), che offrono allo studente la possibilità di apprendere in modo divertente, spingendo a continuare lo studio anche al di fuori delle lezioni.
In conclusione, Michele è una scelta sicura tra gli insegnanti della piattaforma se si vuole imparare o semplicemente migliorare in una delle lingue che insegna.

Michele is a great teacher. He is extremely knowledgable and patient, and does a great job of anticipating my needs as a student. He also provides lots of great learning resources for use outside of the classroom that have helped me deepen my learning. Grazie mille Michele!
