Program Details

Plan and lead structured English lessons with a clear, progressive path designed for a B1+ level learner.

Adapt lessons to the context: beyond formal sessions, enjoy informal and practical activities such as countryside walks, exploring the local area, shopping at the market, and everyday conversations.

Encourage cultural exchange through cooking: share traditional Italian recipes and dishes from your own country, cook together, and enrich vocabulary with words related to food and conviviality.

Create authentic conversation moments to build fluency and confidence in English, weaving in daily life and creative experiences.

Collaborate in the life of the farmhouse in a light and enjoyable way (meal preparation and small household tasks), always turning these into opportunities for language practice.


Activities & Shift

Although this position is primarily designed for teaching English, there is room for creativity if you wish. Alongside structured lessons, you’ll have the chance to contribute to creative projects connected to our farmhouse life — such as helping to create content that shares the spirit and philosophy of cultural exchange on our bnb’s social media.

Your main focus will be on planning and delivering English lessons, but if you enjoy photography, writing, or storytelling, you can also bring your ideas to life by capturing moments of daily life, cooking together, or countryside experiences. These creative contributions are optional, yet warmly welcomed, as they help us spread the joy of learning and sharing cultures with a wider community.

Shifts are flexible and adapted to the rhythm of rural life: lessons can take place in the kitchen, during a walk in nature, or in a quiet corner of the farmhouse. Creativity and language learning go hand in hand here, making every activity an opportunity for authentic exchange.
