Description
Hi, I'm Eugenio. I'm very friendly and I enjoy meeting new people.

I spend my time as freelancer civil engineer and web designer, hosting short-term travellers and learning English in Agrigento.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Teaching
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm a civil engineer, web designer, cooker, mountain biker, runner, reader, music listener and traveller. I'd like to improve my english in order to be fluent and read and watch english content better. You will learn how live a typical sicilian.
Help
I'm looking for an English tutor or teacher that wants to enjoy my place without any duties during the stay, but providing before/after the stay an amount of hours of online classes equivalent to 4,5 hours per day spent at my place. I'm an intermediate English, B2. I'd need improvement on listening, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.

In return, I will provide you a private room, and shared bathroom and wide kitchen + balcony. Two meal per day will be provided and I may ask you to share cooking and washing up responsibilities.

I am willing to host a volunteer for one week.

I stayed with Eugenio in Sicily for 10 days. This was my first Workaway experience, and it was amazing. Eugenio is respectful, generous, and just a great person to have a conversation with. He showed me different parts of Sicily, staying in Agrigento and Catania, and introduced me to his friends. He took into consideration my vegan diet and I was… read more

Eugenio is a very kind, considerate and generous host. Moreover, he is a great cook, and it was delightful to see his approach with cooking and spirits. Although he's very knowledgeable on many topics, he is also curious, and we engaged in interesting and quite insightful conversations! Thank you, Eugenio, it was a true pleasure!

To host Anjela has been a great experience. Instead of having intensive English classes in presence we agreed to spread it over short sessions on Skype before we met. The plan worked incredibly well. Anjela is very good at teaching English. She has a neutral accent, a clear voice timbre, she is generous on providing tips, rules and examples and… read more

This was my first workaway experience, but from our very first contact, Eugenio was absolutely delightful. He is open, warm, intelligent and friendly. I assisted him with this English via weekly Skype calls for a couple of months before I went to Sicily and was also on hand to help him exercise his language skills whilst I was there. In return, I… read more

I hosted Stella for one weekend and I had great time with her. We had interesting english conversation since she corrected my english in a very effective way. I enjoyed even our italian conversation so we could compare and learn more about our own second language. Thank for your help Stella and I hope to see you again in Catania :)

Tess is a great workawayer and a great person. She was always willing to have an english conversation and to help me with my english.

I had great time with her and highly recommend to host or stay with her. Ciao… read more

I stayed with Eugenio in October and it was a great Workaway experience. Eugenio's apartment is located very close to the city centre (you do need to walk up some steps). I felt very comfortable in his apartment, he was very trusting and welcoming. He was a great student, very enthusiastic to learn and always in good form.

I stayed with Eugenio for about 10 days and I had a wonderful time. We spent the majority of the time conversing in English or watching English movies and I hope he felt my contributions improved his English - which is pretty good to begin with! Eugenio is a great talker with many interesting stories, we had some great discussions.
