About Me
Hi, I'm Michela, an Italian Language teacher with DITALS certification. I'm a native speaker living near Florence. Since 2009, I've been giving Italian Language and Culture courses to adults, including managers and university students. I offer courses for any level or interest whether tourism, work, study or simply a passion for the language. All courses will be tailored to your specific needs. Packages can emphasize conversation, vocabulary, or written Italian for academic or professional use. For those tourists, students or professionals focusing on the Food and Wine sector, I am especially qualified to teach specific courses. In 2008, after a degree in Modern Literature, I earned a PhD in Cultural Anthropology followed by research and teaching in Italian universities on the role of food in culture. Please contact me or book a trial lesson. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
A presto, Michela
