Summer 2023

Being part of the Educo summer team was everything I expected and more. As well as making friends from all over the world, I got to immerse my self in Italian family life.
I would say that the training week in San Remo gave me the confidence and skills I needed to walk into my first class of lively elementary students. The mentors guided us through a typical day at camp, ensuring that we felt prepared and supported. Something that helped me a lot was having the orientation WhatsApp group on hand at all times. The group included the mentors and allowed the tutors to quickly receive responses to any questions or doubts we had.

During the camp week, I was grateful to have a great team of tutors to work with and also having kind camp directors to direct questions to. A highlight every week for me was hearing the children using English phrases or singing rhymes outwith class hours. This proved that they were picking up what I had taught.

This summer has been so rewarding and I am very grateful to Educo for providing me with this opportunity. It was truly an experience I will never forget.
