My teaching approach relies on practice and immersion in the language, through conversation and consumption of multiple medias (music, movies, books).
My main focus is making my students able to communicate and interact as soon as possible, so that they can enjoy their language-learning journey instead of just studying and waiting for a long time before they can actually use what they learned.
During our encounters we will talk, write and practice, intertwining the formal learning of grammar and vocabulary with the more entertaining usage of each skill you will acquire.
No matter the level you begin with, from first basic interactions to formal high-level discussions, we can work together to improve your skills and proficiency.
I am skilled and professional, but also flexible and easy-going.
My interests are mainly of the nerd-ish persuasion, such as fantasy and sci-fi novels, movies and series, boardgames, RPGs and suchlike.
I love learning new things and discovering old classics with my friends and my students, and this is mainly why I got my degree in philosophy and studied many different topics on my own.

Today, I learnt new skills della mia professoressa - flexibility & adaptability. With Mick, we were able to adapt our lesson due to my requirement to review a certain topic I raised when the lesson started. Also, Mick has accepted both our short term objectives, as well as longer language learning goals. Her ability to adapt and be flexible when required is the hallmark of a great teacher - 5 star Mick!!!

If you put aside Mick's knowledge and understanding of the Italian language, which are excellent, her outstanding qualities are her interpersonal skills and ability to communicate complicated grammatical and lexical information in an understandable way.
