Michela has completely transformed my Italian learning experience! As someone who struggled with language learning in the past, I was amazed by how she tailored her teaching approach to my specific needs. Her deep knowledge of Italian culture and Florence in particular adds an authentic dimension to every lesson. After six months of studying with her, I was able to confidently navigate my business trip to Milan. Highly recommend!

I hold a Master’s degree in Italian and French Language and Culture, along with a certified teaching qualification. I spent over ten years teaching in traditional classrooms, and for the past several years, I’ve been teaching online — an experience I truly enjoy, especially because I divide my time between three countries and many of my students live internationally as well!

What Is the CELI Exam and Why It’s Important for Italian Learners
The CELI exam (Certificato di Conoscenza della Lingua Italiana) is an official assessment that measures your level of proficiency in Italian. It is administered by the University for Foreigners of Perugia (Università per Stranieri di Perugia) and recognized by academic institutions, employers, and government authorities across Italy and the European Union.
The CELI exam is intended for anyone who wants to prove their Italian language skills — students planning to study in Italy, professionals seeking employment opportunities, or individuals applying for Italian citizenship.
This certificate officially validates your level of Italian and opens doors to study, work, and residency opportunities in Italy.
The exam is divided into levels according to the CEFR framework, allowing each candidate to take the test suited to their proficiency — from beginner to advanced speaker.
Learning with a native Italian teacher gives you a significant advantage: you’ll understand cultural nuances, idioms, and authentic usage — key to passing the exam successfully.
CELI Exam Levels by CEFR:
- CELI Impatto – Level A1
- CELI 1 – Level A2
- CELI 2 – Level B1

- CELI 4 – Level C1
- CELI 5 – Level C2
