English native speaker with a university degree, a TESOL certificate, Graphic Arts certificate and many years of experience teaching ESL, French to newcomers and Italian to business people and vacationers. Being also a professional writer and actor has assisted in the quality of my work.
Medical school education at the University of Rome La Sapienza from 1980 to 1997. Graphic arts certificate in 2002. TESOL certificate in 2012
Teaching in private language schools, corporate rooms, at public/private institutes, homes in Montreal and abroad in Italy, England and the Middle East.
Teaching through conversation where the lessons are student centered. I apply a method using a form similar to that done in TESOL training if the student wants to improve their listening, writing and reading skills besides speaking. The student can learn while being immersed in English language and international cultures as I have travelled extensively. In the past I have used the Berlitz method, Rapid English Speaking method, Montessori method, Sandwich method and more.
I available every weekday except evenings after 10 pm. I am also available on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
I am available for lessons to conduct over Skype or Zoom with students, or face to face if social distancing and sanitary measures are kept. This can be at the client's home or business place, at a local cafe, or at a university center. I have been vaccinated against the covid virus 8 times since February 25, 2021. The last vaccination was the end of May 2024.
