Experienced English Teacher with 13 Years of Success in Italy – Fluent in English and Italian Hello, I’m Jason — a native English teacher... from the UK, now based in the heart of Italy. For the past 13 years, I’ve been helping students of every age, level, and ability achieve their English language goals. Whether you need English for school, exams, work, or business, I can guide you to success. My teaching approach is designed to build your confidence in speaking, strengthen your listening skills, and give you a clear, practical understanding of English grammar. Why focus on speaking first? Because my students achieve the best results when they can start communicating in English as early as possible. Once you are able to hold a simple conversation, you will quickly develop all areas of your language ability. Of course, if your main goal is mastering grammar or written English, I can tailor our lessons to meet those specific needs. For professionals requiring specialised vocabulary, I offer flexible courses in business, medicine, and tourism, which can be adapted to suit any professional environment. I work with students aged 3 to 70, and every lesson is carefully personalised to give each learner the best chance to reach their full potential. If you’re ready to start your journey to confident English, feel free to contact me for an informal chat and a free trial lesson. I look forward to hearing from you! Read more

Hello, my name is Corinne and I am a qualified ESL English teacher from England. I have been teaching in classrooms and online for over 3 years and I have many satisfied students.
My lessons are student-centred and usually take place on Skype. I treat every student as an individual and tailor my lessons to meet their goals. I use a variety of text books and free online resources including exercises, articles and videos. I usually give out a little homework at the end of each lesson to reinforce what we have done together.
In your first lesson, we will discuss your needs and check your current level. From this, we can decide what sort of lessons will suit you the best. Perhaps you struggle with grammar and sentence structure? Perhaps you need to practice English for a specific purpose, like understanding lectures, making phone calls at work, or travelling? Or perhaps you need a structured course so that you can learn English step by step?
Whatever you need, I’m here to help. I see it as my job to make you feel safe, build your confidence and make your lessons enjoyable. I look forward to hearing from you and to helping you on your path to speaking better English. Book your first lesson now and let’s get started.
C. S.
I learn a lot during my lessons with Corinne and I recommend her a lot! She is a fantastic teacher and a really sympathic person. I like her very much.

Thanks Mei-Lin, it was a joy having you in class.
I have an Honours degree in Quantity Surveying from the Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. I have 2 years experience in tutoring in University. The beauty of teaching English online is that there is often an exchange between student and teacher beyond the content of the lesson plan itself. I will be interacting with students of all ages from a variety of nationalities which gives me an opportunity to learn about their languages. My teaching method is I do, you do and we do, this method allows me to interact fully with my students and make the lessons more fun and easy to understand.

Hi everyone! My name is Morena a passionate traveller and a languages enthusiast!
My mother tongue is Italian, and I was born and raised in the beautiful region of Marche in central Italy. I lived abroad for 15 years, and spent 12 of them in the wonderful London.
I am a certified Celta teacher at Strafford House School in London and I have recently obtained the Ditals certification from the University of Siena for teaching Italian as a foreign language.
What are my lessons like? I normally teach students of all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced). I love to use everyday situations to teach common expressions useful for communication as well as vocabulary and grammar. I adapt different teaching methods and approaches according to my students' learning needs, interests and background. I can help you with exam preparation (CILS, CELI, PLIDA, and all Cambridge or IELTS exams), also I can create business or technical language lessons if you have this need.
I provide tailor-made lessons because I believe that every student is different and needs a special and fun method to learn a language with a purpose. If you would like help please contact me with your questions or goal, then we can discuss the best strategy and flexible plan to become fluent in Italian or English! Speak soon. Ciao, a presto!
