Teaching Qualifications and Experience

Hobbies and Interests: Reading, sports, cooking.

Excursions and Local Attractions
In a city like Rome, there is much to see and do and I show the student around the city, according to their interests. Not far from Rome are also places of interest such as Ostia, Latina and the Sabina area.

Accommodation, Facilities and Local Area
The apartment is on the last floor 'piano attico' of a nice building which is part of an elegant condominium. There are two bathrooms, a kitchen with a big terrace with beautiful views over the neighbourhood. In the condominium there is a garden and a porter. Most people living in the building are families. The apartment is located in a neighbourhood called Talenti, very nice, safe and with a big park. The main street is Via Ugo Ojetti, where there are many shops. There are good connections with the old centre. It is ideal place to learn the Italian language and Italian way of life.

The student's room is a small but very nice and comfortable single room. There is a larger double room for a couple or two friends sharing.

Italian lessons are organised to include grammar, writing and conversation, with particular attention to accent but also include real practice in the local community in shops, the supermarket, on the phone and in many other situations. Course material includes Italian movies on DVD with subtitles, Italian pop music, Italian opera and of course books. I love to cook, so I teach students how to make Italian food, especially pizza. What I offer is a nice place to spend time and to learn the Italian language and about the Italian way of life, in a professional and serious way. I worked for long time in a hotel where I learnt how to treat, in a good way, the people who come from other countries. I am also well travelled and went several times to England, Sweden, Holland and the USA.
