Ciao a tutti!
"Here I am with one of my English colleagues, just before teaching during the Christmas season."
It's me again, Mirela! (Friends call me Lella). My professional journey began with a deep love for words, inner exploration, and building bridges between cultures. I started teaching in a private school, where I later took on the role of school director. Over the years, I’ve guided students of all ages and backgrounds through their language-learning journeys – in both academic and school settings.
One of the most unforgettable experiences was teaching Italian to adult foreigners at the Centro Territoriale Permanente in Varese – a center dedicated to adult literacy in a multiethnic, multicultural environment. That experience changed how I see the world and the people in it. It taught me that neither a culture nor a person needs to be “accepted” – they need to be known, and then valued.
I studied Linguistic Sciences at the Università Cattolica di Milano, and earned a second degree in Informazione, Comunicazione ed Editoria Digitale from the Università di Bergamo. I love merging knowledge and creativity: for me, teaching is not just about grammar rules, it’s about creating meaningful experiences that touch both mind and heart.
Since 2021, I’ve been working with Babbel, Europe’s leading language learning platform, as an online Italian L2 teacher. At the same time, I continue to cultivate independent projects like My Italian Space – a dream born from the desire to offer an intimate, dynamic, and inspiring environment for those who truly want to learn Italian language and culture. And… to have fun and feel at home – maybe with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
My Vision
I believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing words — it's about reshaping how you think, feel, and relate to the world. That’s why my lessons are designed to be:
- Personalized and flexible
- Based on active listening
- Rooted in real-life, authentic content
- Guided by a human touch, supported by modern tech
A Journey Together
My Italian Space is a place where we grow together. Whether you're preparing for an exam, seeking authentic conversation, or simply exploring Italian with curiosity and joy — here you’ll find structure, beauty, and warmth.
