The experience

Hi everyone, I'm Marco, I'm 27 years old.
I live in Milan for work, but I’ll be back in my hometown, Reggio Calabria, for the holidays from August 9th to the 31st.
I'm looking for someone (male or female) who not only speaks English well but also knows how to teach it.
That means understanding my starting level and being able to plan lessons that help me improve and get over the shyness I have when I make mistakes speaking.

Program Details

I live in Milan for work, but I’ll be back in my hometown, Reggio Calabria, for the holidays from August 9th to the 31st.
I've already had experience as a host, hosting Maria, a girl with whom I had a lot of fun, and I hope to have the same kind of experience during this vacation with one of you!

As you can see in the photo, we are a family of 4 plus my girlfriend.
I also have a dog named Aky, very sweet, so don’t worry.
That time of year is also my vacation, so I want to enjoy it, have fun, go to the beach, the mountains, hang out with friends – and if you want, we can do all of that together.
I'll take you to some of the most beautiful seaside places we have like Scilla, Tropea, Taormina, etc.

Of course, if you’re someone who prefers time alone, no problem – you’ll have your own space and can explore the area independently.

You’ll have a private room and breakfast, lunch, and dinner included every time we eat at home. If we eat out, everyone pays for their own meal.
I also have a big garden where you can relax whenever you like.

Activities & Shift

In my job, I need to know English – I can understand it and speak it, but not very well because I don’t practice enough.
I'm looking for someone (male or female) who not only speaks English well but also knows how to teach it.
That means understanding my starting level and being able to plan lessons that help me improve and get over the shyness I have when I make mistakes speaking. We can structure the lessons however you prefer, as long as you can help me and know how to approach them based on my level. I don’t want to be the one telling you how to teach, because I already know the main thing I need is to speak as much as possible to improve.
We’ll spend time together, and for that reason, I’m looking for someone patient, kind, cheerful, and motivated to really help me get better.

Rules

I ask for 3 hours of English lessons in the morning, 5 days a week. I believe that will be enough, since we’ll be speaking English together throughout the day anyway.
I also ask that you keep your room clean and help out occasionally with keeping the house tidy.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. We can also do a video call if you prefer.
I look forward to meeting you!
