Hello!

ADULTS ONLY, 18+! My name is Ann Marie, I'm from the United States but I moved to Italy 23 years ago. I'm TEFL certified and I am specialized in IELTS speaking preparation, in addition to preintermediate to advance conversation. I speak Italian, so I understand how challenging it is to learn a new language! I moved to a different country with a different language and culture, so I understand the excitment and fears of moving to a new, unknown place. Twenty three years later, I'm still here with no plans of moving back to the USA. Moving was one of the best decisions I've made in my life, so far. I am specialized in IELTS speaking preparation and intermediate and advanced conversation. I am looking forward to helping you prepare for your speaking part of the IELTS exam! I have helped many students over the years to prepare for IELTS. Now many of these people are now living abroad. From London, Sydney, Philadelphia and Singapore. I also enjoy helping people with speaking/improving in English. What would you like to talk about today? What are your hopes and dreams? Are you thinking about studying or moving to a different country, you're nervous and want to talk to someone? I'm here to help you!

ADULTS ONLY 18+! I have been living abroad for 23 years now. I understand how difficult it is to move to a foreign country and learn a new language, new culture and a new way of living. It's not easy, but at the end it is all worthwhile. Moving to a different country has probably been one of the best decisions I've made, so far. My hobbies include: genealogy, travelling the world, and meeting new people. Some countries I’ve visited are: Italy (Milan, Turin, Venice, Verona, Rome USA (13 states) Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Yokohama) Scotland (Glasgow & Edinburgh) England (York, Manchester, Bristol) Ireland (Dublin) France Switzerland (Lugano, Bern, Lucerne) Austria (Neustift im Stubaital, Innsbrook) Germany Croatia Lichtenstein the Netherlands (Eindhoven) Serbia Bosnia Romania (Piatra Neamț) Bulgaria (Sophia, Dupnica) Turkey (Istanbul) Egypt (Marsa Alam)
