Italian for English teachers

After teaching Business English online since 2011, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many professionals from all over the world keen to improve their English language skills. The range of professionals has been immense. I’ve taught English to production operatives, consultants, finance directors, veterinary surgeons, IT specialists, sales people, receptionists, administrators, account managers, project managers and even a politician! One of my more recent students is the owner and CEO of his own engineering company. I count myself lucky to have been able to work with such a diverse group of people.

I have also worked with students from many different countries: from Mexico to Senegal, from Ethiopia to the United Arab Emirates. All from my home office in the South West of England! Each working day is like a virtual trip around the globe. Despite this diversity, the majority of my students at the moment come from Europe and particular Italy. So much so, that I have recently started to take a course in Italian at night school in my local college. With my new Italian language skills, I hope to be able to help my Italian students improve their English when they are searching for the correct word. It should also help me the next time I’m in Italy and trying to order something more complex than a margherita pizza!

Saluti!
