The experience

We live in a small town in south of italy in the Apulia region near the city of Foggia. I am looking for a volunteer who will teach English to my son Ian. He has basic knowledge of the language and we want to let him improve writing and speaking as we know the importance of a second language. Also, he plays double bass and I need someone who can play a musical instrument and read music to help him out in improve his groove. I offer a private flat

Program Details

Every day from Monday to Friday, we expect you organise exciting sessions of:
- Music (with a special focus on playing together)
- English (learning and practicing while having fun)
Since Ian plays the double bass and the bass guitar, we would love to focus the music sessions on music theory lessons and group playing activities, all entirely in English.
This way, Ian can improve both his musical skills and his English in a natural, creative environment!
The detailed schedule will be developed weekly, depending on Ian’s and his parents’ needs. Pls do not message me if you don't play a musical instrument. I own 2 guitars I can borrow to you if you need.
We’re looking forward to making music and learning together! 🎶📚🎸
