Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 18 Jan 2022Argomento di interesseAmbiente e naturaStoriaSportArteCibo
I am from the north of England but have been living in Italy for over 20 years. Today I live north of Rome in a small medieval town. I previously spent six years working in Japan and before that two years in France. I am an extremely active person cycling kms up and down the Apennines, swimming lengths to refresh my mind and motorcycling around Europe on my 800cc Ducati. I think I am easy-going, sunny and friendly and get on with most people.
I am curious about life and our world – history, literature, film, world music, current affairs and politics, and have strong opinions on them all! When at home or on the train, etc my head is always in a book, listening to music or watching films..
I have taught English as a foreign language for over 30 years in France, Spain, Japan and Italy. I have the TEFL certificate and the equivalent of DELTA which I received while working in Japan. Outside italki I teach privately and also at an Italian high school (liceo) in the language department. My speciality is tutoring students for international certificates such as IELTS, CAE and FCE. I especially love getting my students over the horrible hurdle of the writing test! Having said this, I also have experience of working in tourism, film and retail outside of my teaching experience, I also teach general English for travel and friendship.
I have been teaching on italki now for over 3 years now and find it an efficient, relaxing and fun way of teaching. My lessons are always conducted in E...Il mio materiale didattico

I’ve been taking lessons with Sally for 2 months, and I really enjoyed every class. She is very active, cheerful, brave, and such an interesting person. We worked a lot on pronunciation, and I can already see good progress. Sally always makes lessons engaging and motivating. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English in a positive and inspiring atmosphere!
