I am 57 and live near Cambridge with my husband and two grown up children. I have been learning Italian for three years now and enjoy the process learning one to one. I enjoy many hobbies including embroidery, drawing, gardening and cooking. I love to visit new places and meet all sorts of different people. Everyone has a story and I am very much looking forward to hearing yours. My friends describe me as kind, patient and fun so hopefully you will feel very relaxed in our first lesson. While I have been learning Italian, I realised how difficult it can be to progress with speaking a foreign language. It can be nerve wracking and so when I teach conversational English, I will make sure that the student feels relaxed and I will emphasise that there is no rush to get the right word or phrase out. While I have no formal teaching qualifications, I have college level education and speak with no accent. My lessons will be informal, fun and I have lots of patience. I will start by asking the student about themselves and work on building up a strategy of learning by using their interests and hobbies. They can also ask me about my life and day to day activities or, if they are more advanced, we can talk about current affairs, history, politics etc.

Thank you again, Antonia, for another great conversation. Our discussions are always full of insights and new knowledge, no matter the topic. You're someone who is genuinely curious about the world around us and I think that's something really valuable these days.

Antonia was great fun to talk with. Despite my English being a bit rusty I felt at ease from the very beginning of the lesson. I am very appreciative of how Antonia finds a way to make me practice my English. I did the talking during most of our time together and that was precisely what I'd been looking for. Whenever I find time, I'll book a lesson again. Thank you Antonia!
