My name is Michela and I am a 32-year-old native Italian teacher based in Brussels with over 10 years of experience teaching Italian language and culture to a diverse audience: children, adults, Italians and foreigners.

I am also a philologist and I speak fluent English and French, which helps me clarify my students' doubts.

Over the years I have accumulated more than 15,000 hours of teaching, between private lessons, public schools in Italy (5 years) and international establishments in Brussels (since September 2024).

Furthermore, I have obtained the following university degrees:
• Master's degree in teaching Italian language and culture to foreigners, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia

• Baccalaureate in modern literature (final grade: 110/110), Università degli Studi di Torino.

I see my role more as a guide or tutor, someone who creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to learn and making mistakes. I enjoy working with students in a collaborative way: for example, giving them exercises or homework, and then going through the corrections together, so that the focus is not only on the result but also on the learning process.

Since I have taught Italian to foreign students in the past, I have developed an approach that emphasizes patience, clarity, and adaptability. I believe it is important to meet students where they are, to understand their individual needs, and to adjust my explanations accordingly. For me, being an "instructor" means encouraging curiosity, motivating students to engage actively, and helping them build confidence step by step.

Arabic Made Simple is a friendly and practical course designed for anyone who wants to start speaking, reading, and understanding Arabic with confidence. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, studies, or personal growth, this class will guide you step by step through the basics of Modern Standard Arabic.

Arabic is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world — the key to understanding the culture, history, and heart of over 20 countries. Learning it opens doors to new friendships, travel experiences, and career opportunities across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond. It’s also a language of beauty and depth, connecting you to centuries of poetry, art, and philosophy.

You’ll learn how to read the Arabic alphabet, pronounce words correctly, build useful vocabulary, and form simple sentences for everyday situations. The lessons focus on real communication, not memorization — helping you understand the language and culture together.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to greet people, introduce yourself, ask basic questions, and understand common phrases used in daily life — taking your first confident steps into the Arabic-speaking world.
