Fulfilling a dream !

I took this course after years of teaching. It had always been a desire, but I kept putting off taking the necessary steps towards it. I thank Via Lingua for having made my desire come true. I especially thank Tom Shandorf, Managing Director at Via Lingua International, who patiently persuaded me to challenge myself The course has been stimulating and has allowed me to implement and refurbish my skills with relevant material. It has also invited me, after many years, to step back and analyze the way I teach today and to think of ways to keep it fresh. Not last, I has allowed me to think grand and imagine a future teaching abroad I couldn't have asked for a better experience to cherish !

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Florence

Teaching in Florence

Most openings to teach abroad in Florence are for teaching English as a second language. Italians begin learning English in school from a very young age, so it is possible to find an English teaching job in Florence in most levels of education and even in unique educational settings. Private and public schools both offer opportunities to teach in Florence, as do language institutions and even companies who are looking to improve their employees’ English language skills related to business.

It is also possible to teach other subjects, such as in the math or sciences, at international schools. However, landing teaching jobs in Florence at international schools is a bit more challenging, because most schools seek to hire full time employees and the medium of instruction is typically Italian. As an English teacher you are often asked to speak as little Italian as possible in the classroom, so you don’t necessarily need to know Italian to teach English in Florence.

Many individuals who teach abroad in Florence also choose to supplement their institutional teaching jobs with private tutoring sessions or language lessons. There are many eager adults and young learners alike who look to hire tutors for private language sessions, and this can be a great way to pick up some extra cash while teaching in Florence.

Typically you will want to apply for a teaching job in Florence before the start of the ensuing school year, meaning spring or in early summer. Many TEFL programs are available in Florence too, which will include a month long certification and cultural immersion program before the school year begins, so this can also be a great option for those who do not already possess a TEFL certificate.
