Good morning, my name is Cinzia, I am 52 years old, I am separated and I have a wonderful young boy of 12, in July he will be 13, his name is Andrea.
The two of us live in Mantua, in the city center 1km from the train station, 500m from the first bus station. The urban bus stop is 10m away. The central, pedestrian area is 400m away. Obviously we have a bike for the tutor who will choose us.
Our house is on two floors about 130m., two bathrooms and two kitchens, one on each floor, three bedrooms, a garage and the courtyard, not for exclusive use, but with lots of plants all mine, no one else lives in the house with us.
Andrea, since his early years, has done full immersion courses in English. However, due to his shy nature and lack of opportunities he speaks very little English. He still continues with online lessons with native speakers, the tutors tell me that his pronunciation is good but he has difficulty writing.
I am thrilled just at the idea of ​​being able to host a foreign student for 2 months in our home. So I'll start with the reason for this choice, the first idea was that Andrea would do a course abroad, but precisely because of his shyness he has many fears and reticence towards this proposal. I don't give up and so to make him understand how spectacular an intercultural course is I decided to start by hosting a tutor. We are starting by offering only two months of hospitality but the intention is to continue with longer periods. I really hope that this wonderful opportunity can materialize, we will do our best to pamper you and make you feel like one of the family!
