Professional teacher, 18 year experience in English, Italian and Spanish

I'm a well experienced teacher who have taught Italian and English in Italy, Spain and Holland. I am also a translator.
My employers have included private and public international schools and universities, institutions and F.S.E programs.
I graduated in Modern Languages and Literatures at IULM University in Milan. I have taught extensively in social-cultural, business and touristic sector.
The class size has ranged from one to one, to classes of 15/20 students and accordingly to their level of ability in English/Italian have varied from absolute beginner to very advanced.
When teaching I strongly believe in a relaxed and fun atmosphere as this makes learning an enjoyable experience for the students and their progress reflects this. Naturally students who are relaxed and enjoy what they are being taught will progress and reach their goals at a higher level than those who feel forced or quite bored.
I usually use course books, newspaper articles, listening comprehension exercises, discussing reports, role-play and also appropriate grammar.
