  Description

  I'm a 32 - year- old History of Art teacher. I really like doing sport and I love ballet dancing. I live in a very peaceful place in Tuscany, in a county house near Pisa. I would like to attend a postgraduate teacher training course in England but I have to get a score of 7 for the IELTS exam. I’m looking for someone who can help me achieve my goal.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I can provide board and lodgings. I have thought about a one or two week tour in the most beautiful places of Tuscany: Florence, Pisa, Siena... and I will be more than happy to show you our beautiful beaches where we can go sunbathing and swimming. I'm well prepared in the history of art so I can give you as much information as you want about our artistic heritage. However if you aren't keen on art, you can give me some hints and I will schedule a tailor-made tour for you.

  Help

  I'm looking for an English native speaker who can help me with the language. It will only take a couple of hours each day and it's about doing grammar exercises, revising writing, correcting pronunciation.... even if you aren't a professional teacher we can work out a useful lesson. My ideal workawayer is a friendly person of about 25/40 years old, with whom is easy to get on well with. We will spend a lot of time together so I hope you will enjoy my company.

  Accommodation

  I live in a big country house. I can offer a room with a double bed and private bathroom. I will provide an Italian breakfast and meals when we stay at home. The town where I live is near all the main cities of art and it's 20 minutes from the sea. We will travel to those destinations by car or by train. I will pay for the petrol. The train tickets, and other potential expenses (eg. packed-lunch, museum tickets...) are not included.

  What else ...

  I'm not at home from the 2 to 16 of August. I will be happy to host you from the 16 of Augus until 16 of September. If you are traveling after this date I can t assure you my availability. You might try to contact me at the end of September.
