Michela Talin

Teaching Fellow in Italian

Biography

Background

I hold a Master’s degree in Modern Foreign Languages (English and French) from the University of Padova, Italy.

I hold a Post graduate certificate in Teaching Italian as a second language from the University of Padova and the CEDILS certificate (an internationally recognised Certificate of teaching Italian as a Foreign Language) from the University of Venice.

I am also qualified to teach English and French in Italian high schools and French, Italian and English (TESOL) in Scottish high schools.

 

I have a long experience in language teaching and curriculum development. 

Prior to moving to Scotland, I lived in a small lovely city in the North of Italy, Vicenza, where I taught English in high schools and Italian to foreigners in local language schools.

Since I moved to Scotland, I have been teaching Italian to adults of a  wide range of levels.   

I am currently working at the Centre for Open Learning where I hold the position of Teaching Fellow in Italian and I am currently teaching a wide range of levels from A1 to C2. 

I have also been working for many years as a tutor of Italian at the Italian Cultural Institute of Edinburgh.

I am very passionate about languages and I speak English, French and Spanish, other than Italian. I also have a deep interest in history and art and I am a qualified tour guide for my lovely town Vicenza and the Venetian villas.
