Assistance in finding EFL teachers.

I’m planning to use this blog to help English language teachers find, well, other English language teachers in Italy.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

If you are an independent language teacher, like me, then you may well have come across the situation in which you have had to turn down work because you simply don’t have the resources to handle it. By resources, I generally mean teachers. As everyone in this game knows, one of the biggest problems is finding good teachers, and good teachers often do not know where to look. Not any more, or that is my hope.

So, if you have a big job coming up, want to expand or simply want to develop a few contacts in your area of Italy, send me some details, and I’ll post them here. I’ll post fuller information on this matter either later today, or tomorrow.

Tarting Up Italian Tourism

In a country as beautiful as Italy, you would think that there would be a minster for tourism. However, there is not. This, though, is about to change, with Berlusconi soon to appoint one almost-as-beautiful-as-Italy Michela Vittoria Brambilla to this very position.
