WHAT I OFFER
As a freelance teacher, I provide a wide range of English-based activities and projects tailored to various age groups and needs. From teaching geography and sustainability in primary schools to preparing Cambridge English students in scientific high schools, I also offer private English lessons for adults in a professional context. Collaborating with the English Camp Company, I organize English Summer Camps across Italy and Austria, enhancing language skills in immersive settings.
Moreover, my latest venture, The English Aperitivo, offers a fantastic social opportunity for networking and language practice among adults. Let's embark on a journey of learning and connection together.
Private English Courses and Business English (also available online)
The demand from individuals to learn or improve their English language continues to grow and my lessons are both formal and relaxed, adapting to the requirements of the family, children or professional adults.
As of 2020 I have transformed my business to online virtual work with all my classes of students and professionals being done via skype, whatsapp video, zoom or google meet. This line of my business is the perfect way for classes to be taken for those in need of the english language or education consulting from a far, such as neighbouring european countries and Asia.
English Summer Camps
These camps are for young children aged 6-14 years and are held at numerous locations around Italy, generally predominantly at schools. Being based in central Italy, it has allowed me to organize several camps in the Umbria and Marche regions. My aim is to expand these camps to other regions around Italy.
The children are fully immersed into the English language during the camps. Native English speakers make learning fun and children spend two weeks improving their confidence in the English language through games, songs and cultural activities.
The camps are organised through The English Camp Company
Cambridge English Preparation
There is an demand and popularity from students to achieve the highest English level as possible and the Cambridge exams are recognized all over the world. Within the Cambridge International Schools students can take the IGCSE exams and as a native speaker it allows me to prepare them in a way that focuses on speaking, pronounciation, listening as well as discussing a variety of topics such as cultures around the world, fitness and global issues. The Cambridge English levels start at A1 and go through the highest levels of C1 and C2 with C1 being popular with many students applying to university. Preparation for these require a high understanding about the structure of the exams and a variety of diverse teaching methods. Knowledge on the different uses of english and listening are vital when preparing for these exams. I am currently preparing students at the Cambridge International School in Assisi. Assisi Convitto Nazionale Principe di Napoli.
Geography & Sustainable Projects in English
My passion for the environment has come from my travel experiences and love for wildlife and the ocean. Through my teaching I aim to create greater awareness of the environmental challenges our planet faces and educate young people in particular, about the threats and what we humans can do to turn things around.
Climate change is one of the most important issues we face today and around the world we are seeing more dramatic climatic events. Educating children at a young age is vital so our next generation are conditioned to understand and deal with these. I believe that by educating children about the problems we face such as plastic pollution, the dramatic extinction of species, is key to their interest in the environment, makes them environmentally conscious and also enhances their interest in learning and even caring more about the environment.
My recent environmental project for primary schools is now incorporated into the school agenda under the CLIL (content and language integrated learning) project. Not only are the students enhancing their knowledge about environmental issues but they are being taught this all in English in a fun and interactive manner. I am now promoting this specific project to other schools in Italy.
