Information About Eileen:

Personal Description:

I am English, married to an Italian and I lived for 8 years in Italy (Sicily), where our three now grown-up children were all born. I have a deep love of both Italy and the Italian language, history and culture and I re-visit the country as often as possible. I live on the outskirts of Nantwich, Cheshire, some 7 miles, and less than 10 minutes driving time, from junction 16 on the M6. I am happy to teach individuals, couples or small groups (max. 4).

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching Italian professionally for 18 years by private tuition, in colleges (South Cheshire College, Mid-Cheshire College and at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester) and also in industry for 9 years, within the FIAT U.K group of companies.

Tutoring Approach:

I greatly enjoy helping adults of all ages and language experience to learn to speak, read and write Italian. My aim is to bring both Italy and the Italian language alive for my students in whatever way they require for their own personal needs and interests, and to enable them to discover the thrill of being able to speak and understand Italian. I do not believe that someone who has never had the opportunity to learn a language before, or feels worried that they were not very good at languages at school, presents any barrier to me being able to help them learn Italian, provided that they are willing to work with me to achieve this goal. I particularly enjoy giving students one-to-one personalised and targeted tuition and I will always work at the student's own pace. Learning any language should be a pleasure and I try to ensure for all my students that learning Italian with me is a most enjoyable, stress-free and rewarding experience.

Qualifications:

• Teaching Cert. in Post-16 and Further Education
• LCCI advanced level diploma in Italian (dist.)
