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.

The one constant con la mia insegnante is that Mick is always able to make the difficult grammatical problems easier to understand. She has the ability to explain difficulties I face and help me to overcome these hurdles... sempre 5*!

Mick has that rare teaching skill that enables students to progress even in the face of self doubt and disbelief. Mick told me to have patience and her encouragement has enabled me to start to speak Italian with greater self belief.
