COMMITMENTS
Once you are assigned a class, you will have to go regularly one a week throughout the semester, except during your break.
You are expected to be punctual and to have a lesson plan, based on the professor’s requests and suggestions.
In case you need to cancel your class, you must inform your professor with enough notice.
An Italian phone number and the use of whatsapp is highly recommended to communicate quickly and directly with your professor.

EXPECTATIONS
You are expected to engage a class of an average of 20/25 high-school students, between 14 and 19 year old, according to the class you will be assigned to.
Students are generally excited about your presence, but their language level and interest can be varied.
Once you meet the professor and receive general information about the class dynamics, level, syllabus, you will have to assess together with the students and the professor topics and activities of general interest to include in your class plan.
At the beginning interacting with them in a totally new environment might be intimidating or frustrating, but the challenges will make you learn and grow immensely.
If you have previous teaching experience, a strong interest in Italian language and culture, a laid back and open personality, a liking for challenges, a wish to maximize your Roman semester, you should definitely BE A TUTOR.
In case you are interested but you have some concerns, talk to Professor Daniela Curioso, Project Coordinator, for advice.
