"I have been teaching Italian to adults at South Staffordshire College for 15 years. I teach Beginners level, which I thoroughly enjoy, as it is very satisfying to witness learners’ progress from a starting point of having no or very little knowledge to reaching the end of the course and having the skills and confidence in their chosen language"
