I adore this ESL teacher training program at ATC. It’s challenging and it’s a high level preparation where the students are the real main characters. We have to do a lot of presentations like real teachers. I remember the anxiety of my first presentation…but I’m getting comfortable and most importantly, more confident.

I’m very proud of me! I enjoy the comfy atmosphere at ATC, I like coming here before the class to study or simply to take my lunch with other students. Every day we also have a Language Exchange Program; I can perk up my teaching skills teaching Italian every Tuesday as well as learn a bit of Spanish and Chinese. Teaching Italian using English is a pretty good exercise for my new language. In my future, I’d like to teach Italian connected to Art History (which was my University major) in some different country (Canada, Japan, Ireland, Mexico). Travel and teach for a couple of years and then try to make my own business and live in Italy. But step by step….first, the TESOL diploma!
