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!!
