    The school is member of both EAQUALS and IALC associations, whose aim is to guarantee high standards of quality. I am therefore familiar with the protocol and the typical culture of a professional environment and I pay close attention to detail and to the needs of clients. My main task was designing and delivering regular Italian language courses to individuals and groups and lectures on specific Italian cultural topics; I also delivered one individual course of English language. My role as a teacher included the creation of original learning materials and learning programmes for each level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. I was also tasked with preparing and delivering presentations dedicated to the Italian culture, which were delivered in Russian in order to advertise the school and its courses during open events. As part of a team, it was my duty to coordinate my work with other teachers, supporting them and sharing sources and materials.
