Broadening My Horizons

If you are motivated and passionate with a taste for business there are many opportunities to teach English in Italy today.

I am Italian but I have spoken English since I was a child; my father spoke fluent English and felt it was important for his daughter to know the language. Therefore my relationship with English is emotional and deep. Every time I have the opportunity I go back to England which is a second home for me, especially Wales. I studied and worked in Cardiff for 10 years.

Before I studied with The TEFL Academy, I was working as a beautician assistant locally. Six years ago my sister-in-law opened a beauty centre and asked me to help her with the start up of the business. At the time I saw a great opportunity, where I could use my experience gained working in Cardiff as a product coordinator. In the last year the centre has become established and is working well. I am now looking to broaden my horizons with a new challenge.

When I came back to Italy from the UK , the local nursery school asked me to oversee the English projects which I did in my free time and greatly enjoyed. I found my own experiences of learning a new language really helped me. During this period I realised I needed a recognised qualification to pursue a career in teaching.

“There are very few EFL teachers in Italy with a TEFL certificate.”

To make a big change at the age of 41 it is not easy but a good friend who I have known for over 20 years suggested I look into doing a TEFL course.  During my research for courses I saw The TEFL Academy’s website.

They were offering a 120-hour combined classroom and online course in London in September. I decided that it was now or never so I just booked the course. I loved the web page; to read the experiences from the students was very motivating.  The online part of the course was very well organised. The course opened my eyes to a whole new process of learning and it was so interesting to reflect on various different approaches I have been shown while on this course. Even though I now have many tools to teach I have so enjoyed the learning process and the fact that it is ongoing. I am passionate and committed to improving my teaching skills even further.

There are very few EFL teachers in Italy with a TEFL certificate and these qualified teachers are really needed.  Many people, especially parents today,  realise there is a need for further and ongoing education in English and are therefore happy to invest in one-to-one lessons for their children. The majority of my students prefer to practise conversation skills and grammar which I feel, with my experience and a TEFL qualification, I am more than capable of being able to offer.

If you are motivated and passionate with a taste for business there are many opportunities to teach English in Italy today. English is recognised as the business language of the world.

To speak English is a great gift! Get a qualification and don’t miss this income opportunity and to share your knowledge.
