Private English Tutor to Italian Students

As a tutor of English to Italian students, I gained new perspective on the subject, through the eyes of a foreigner. I gained a unique teaching style because of this, whereby I break the subject down to it's core and give my student the blocks to build it back up in their own, specialised way. I also learnt how to make the language seem less intimidating than it really is, and turn it into an accessible and inviting subject that excites learners.

English as Foreign Language Teacher

As an English teacher I was responsible for lesson planning, continuous progress assessment, examination and one-on-one tutoring. I was expected to give engaging and creative lessons that suited the student's individual learning styles. Adapting to different learning capabilities was of huge importance and taught me to be a more dynamic and flexible teacher.
