In the middle of September, Matteo and I opened an After School English Club in the center of Rome. Since I had had such great success with my private lessons last year (after school) we decided to try to teach English on a larger scale. SO, we researched business documents, searched for 4 moths for property, found and rented the perfect property,
wrote a curriculum, painted the walls & chairs,
and made 200 trips to IKEA
wrote a curriculum, painted the walls & chairs,planted flowers, bought 4 bags full of supplies while we were in Texas,
and made 200 trips to IKEA (which I lovingly call, my European WalMart).
We teach children ages 2-13 years old, every day after school. They come once a week for 2 hours for hands-on English lessons. I am of course teaching every afternoon, but we have also hired 2 other teachers. In total we have 33 students, so we feel so fortunate that our first year in business is already a success! We love what we are doing and pray that it continues to go well. If it does, any of you are welcome to come and be guest teachers in the future!
