Louise Z.
Private tutor in Lismore, Australia
Education
I hold a Cambridge CELTA Certificate.
Experience
I taught English as a second language in Italy for 20 years, so I understand the unique challenges that language learners face. I have also helped students of all ages prepare for Cambridge exams and final school exams, so I'm no stranger to standardized test prep. I developed interpersonal communication skills as a tour guide covering Verona, Venice, Lake Garda, and all of the vineyards and wineries in the Valpolicella and Soave areas. Teaching English in Italy was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life, and I'm excited to do the same thing teaching Italian in Australia. I lived in Italy long enough to speak the language fluently, so I can model what it's supposed to sound like. I can also focus on your specific needs, including conversational Italian if you're planning a trip and AP Italian Language and Culture prep if your student is taking it in school.

Hobbies
I love reading and travelling. Other than Italy I have also lived in South Africa and Taiwan. I have 4 children; two live and work in Italy and two in Melbourne. I was born in Australia and left when I was fifteen and I finished my schooling in Italy. I am bilingual and have dual citizenship. Teaching English to high school students in Italy was very fulfilling and now that I am back in Australia I would like to do the same helping students with their Italian exams. Conversatyion and Italian culture lessons to help you prepare for your Italian holiday.
