Tutor Bio
Hi, my name is Emanuela, Manu for friends.
I’m an Italian teacher living in Milan, Italy, a vibrant town well known for culture, fashion and design.
I have a Master's Degree in Foreign Cultures and Languages and a CEDILS Certification for Teaching Italian as a Second Language.
I have a multi-sided profile, as starting my career in Performing Arts I could develop expressive and relational competences that led me to work also in Human Resources field, as a professional in Training and Recruiting.
Having lived in different professional sectors I can tailor my lessons on different needs:
- Business Italian, for people who travel for work: preparing a meeting, a work interview or a report.
- Academic Italian - for foreigner students attending Italian University : I’ve run Italian lessons at every level, from A1 to C2, and have experience in preparing students to take A2 test, that is the level required to apply for an EC Residence Permit or “residence card” for all foreigners residing in Italy.
- Easy Italian pronunciation and communication for tourists who come to Italy.

What is your favorite word in your language and why?
My favourite Italian Word is INNAMORATO, that means " in love". I think Italian culture inclines people to be open to love: you can fall in love with somebody, or a new project, or Arts, or food, or, simply, LIFE!!!

What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?
My favourite dish is "Pasta col pesto", typical of Ligurian region. Pesto is a raw sauce made with basil, pine nuts, olive oil and cheese Parmigiano Reggiano, very simple but really fragrant: it reminds me of the scent of the coastal greenery near Genova, where I was born.

What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
I was born in Genova: it’s a nest where I can enjoy every time the scent of the sea and the magic of ancient churches mixed with the background of popular voices in the small streets. But later I was "adopted» by Milan, the town where I spent most of my life. It’s atmosphere is really engaging: you run all the time after Fashion, Design, Business .. And suddenly you find a moment of absolute peace, facing the beauty of a historical place, like Duomo or Castello Sforzesco!
