MY ENGLISH LESSONS
I have been teaching for many years and have helped so many people improve their English in preparation for a wide range of English exams.
EXAM PREPARATION
I work closely with my students to help them become ready and capable of successfully taking Cambridge (YL, KET, PET, FCE and CAE), IELTS and Trinity exams.
ESP – ENGLISH FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES
Beyond academic and professional certification, my courses are also tailored to serve specific professional needs, like communication within multi-national companies, or
abstract presentation at doctors’ conventions, etc.
ONLINE LESSONS
I use Skype, Whatsapp and Adobe Connect to provide my students with the best online lessons and the most updated course books on the market as well as my own materials.
COURSE SYLLABUS DESIGN
I develop specific courses adequate to student’s need and aims, according to each student and their level of English (CEFR A1 – A2, B1 – B2 and C1 – C2).
WHO AM I
The last time I looked, I still wasn’t God, but I have been teaching and learning for many years in the UK, Sweden, Portugal, Angola and in Sicily, Italy.
MISSION AND VISION
quality and standards | learning environments | dedication and enthusiasm
STANDARDS
The quality standards I base myself on are those of British Council’s, Cambridge Assessment English and W3C, in terms of service, technical expertise and advice and ethics.
ENVIRONMENTS
I use a wide range of suitable tools and platforms to provide a greater learning exposure, embracing language more than just the traditional lesson scenario.
SUPPORT
My dedication and enthusiasm integrate with my students’ efforts, bringing know-how and experience into the preparation needed for the Cambridge, IELTS and Trinity exams.
My preferences
What I have done, do and will do
I design and implement creative English language courses both in Sicily and online through Skype, Whatsapp and Abode Connect .
I have always preferred tutorials and one-to-one sessions, as this allows me to achieve greater results with my students when it concerns areas of study as far apart as simply knowing how to speak, read or write in another language; handling the use of that language in any given profession; and beyond that to the jargon of the technicalities of specific texts, events and conferences – always from the perspective of a foreign language learning process and achieving fluency within it.
