About Roberta
I am the owner and CEO of my own tutoring business, and take great pride in the success of my students. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Languages and Cultural Tourism from the University of Palermo in Italy. Additionally, I earned a certification in Finance and Hospitality Management from the prestigious Cornell University while attending their Professional Development Programme during my time in Ithaca, USA.
To further enhance my skills, I obtained a certification in Chinese Mandarin from the Chinese Culture University in Taipei, Taiwan. I also hold an MBA from Colorado State University, which has enriched my understanding of global business practices.
I have a passion for travelling and have had the privilege of living in seven different countries across Europe, Africa, and East Asia. These experiences have deepened my appreciation of diverse cultures and perspectives, which I bring to my work as a educator.

With many years of teaching experience and fluency in five languages, I understand the language learning journey from multiple perspectives. I’m passionate about helping students learn Chinese Mandarin in a way that feels effective, natural and rewarding. While my classes are tailored to my students needs, I would like to share with you a bit about my approach to our classes.
Methodology: Circular and Natural
My teaching approach is both circular and natural, which means we revisit language in cycles—each time building deeper understanding and greater fluency. Instead of treating grammar, vocabulary and skills as isolated topics, I guide students through repeated, contextual exposure. For example, a student might first hear a new structure in a listening exercise, then use it in conversation, later write it in context and eventually reinforce it through reading. This allows the language to truly settle into long-term memory.
The natural part of my method focuses on how we acquire language in real life: through meaningful communication. I integrate listening, speaking, reading and writing in ways that reflect how we actually use language in daily situations. Lessons are conversation-driven and adaptable, always connected to real-world use. I encourage students to think in Mandarin, not just translate, and to engage with the language actively rather than passively memorizing.
A Supportive and Tailored Approach
Each student is unique, so I tailor every lesson to your goals—whether you're improving fluency, preparing for exams or refining professional Mandarin. My aim is to make you feel confident and capable, with a solid foundation and a growing command of Mandarin.
If you're ready to learn in a way that feels human, logical and lasting, I would be happy to guide you on your journey to mastering Mandarin!

Roberta is a fantastic Italian teacher—knowledgeable, engaging, and inspiring. Our granddaughters love her classes, which have helped them connect with their cultural heritage while learning the language. Highly recommended!
Roberta is a fantastic teacher, who can quickly identify at which level of Spanish or Italian you are at and give lessons accordingly, highly recommend! Thanks Roberta!
Roberta coached my son in his A level Spanish. She did an amazing job with the result that my son received a B at A level. We are so pleased. I very much hope I have more good news next week as Roberta also coached my younger son in his GCSE. Thank you so much Roberta
After my first lesson with Roberta I was very happy and satisfied with the lesson. She is a great tutor and is very nice encouraging, and I am inspired to learn Spanish.
Hi,
Roberta guided me well with the report writing and showed me how to ensure the report goes with the flow. I am thankful for the help and guidance given to me.Roberta is a talented tutor, really helpful.
Great communication, feedback and work ethic!
Roberta is an amazing tutor! She takes her time to understand you and your learning style to tailor the lesson to you. She is always smiling and positive, which brings great energy to our weekly sessions. My Italian has really improved with her over the last 6 months - and I’m looking forward to coming months as I become more advanced in this language. She’s also open to ideas and feedback and will adjust to whatever you need. Highly recommend!!
You will not find a better teacher than Roberta! She is hugely knowledgeable and a great teacher. Not only that, she is always organised and has a clear plan to help you progress as well as tailoring her lessons to suit your own interests and needs as a learner. Plus her enthusiasm for languages and learning is positively infectious! I could not recommend her more highly.
I can't recommend Roberta enough. She helped me overcome a lot of anxiety around my assignments and really understood the course syllabus.
Roberta is friendly, conscientious, knowledgeable and reliable. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Super well organized for the class. Was very enthusiastic and patient with questions I had throughout the session. Highly recommended :).
I am currently working on my MBA. Coming from a design background, I've never had the opportunity to study finance. Roberta has been amazingly supportive in developing sessions to cover my pain points as well as review my financial analysis paper. She is prompt and very supportive!
Roberta is one of the greatest teacher I’ve ever had. I can tell that she loves teaching. What I love about her is her passion and dedication. She puts all her skills into her craft.
She is so sweet, humble and cater for the needs of her students . I had the opportunity to take italian lessons with Roberta, and thanks to her I feel confident and safe every time I’m traveling to Italy. It wasn’t easy but it was worth it. If you’re looking for a great teacher, full of kindness, Roberta is according to me your best choice.Roberta has a lovely, warm, encouraging manner. She got us interested and involved and we all (a group of 3), learned a lot, very quickly. Thank you very much indeed.
I was very lucky to find Roberta, such a warm and friendly person w so much enthusiasm
Her passion for teaching goes beyond
Highly recommendAwesome teacher. Gives homework which she checks outside the lesson time. Very patient and friendly!
Roberta is an excellent tutor! She listens to you and tries to cater for what you need. The lessons and material provided are related to what the student requires which is great! Really nice person! Highly recommend!!
Roberta is so patient and flexible! Really helped me a lot working towards my goals! 100% recommend!
Roberta is a good teacher. She is patient and responsible. She is also rich in knowledge about Spanish.
What sets Roberta apart from other tutors is her passion for languages, which made me look forward to every Spanish class with her. She is also very easy going and has a keen eye for detail, meaning you'll notice a marked improvement in your language skills after each session. She can speak four languages in total: English, Italian, Spanish and Mandarin and has worked in various countries, so has a very cultured style of teaching.
I am more than proud to write this recommendation for Roberta Migliore as your next Tutor. When Roberta was my private tutor my school grades improved dramatically and I can gladly advise anyone to use her profesionalism.
