We’ve had some great tutors work with us in the past - here’s what a few of them had to say about their experience…
“I had such a good time working with the children over the summer, it was one of the best things that I have done. I got to see so much of Italian culture and I really felt integrated within the communities that I stayed in. It is a lot of work but you only ever seem to notice on Friday when the kids go home and there is no camp the next day. I would recommend this to anyone who feels they would like to challenge themselves” -David Wright, UK-
“English Summer Camps with ACLE were simply the best three weeks of my life! Orientation was a blast, spent with some of the coolest people from all over the world… and in a stunning location! The camps were also a lot of fun, meeting some great personalities in both the children and the other counsellors. And it’s all led on to great opportunities in other places. I’d absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who’s up for it!” -Janelle Gullo, Australia -
“ACLE has provided me with a fantastic experience - not only a different perspective on teaching, but being able to live and work in another country, gaining first hand experience of a different culture” -Catherine Edwards, UK-
“The time I spent working in the ACLE camps this summer was amazing! The experience was both enriching for me and the children and I am honoured to have had the opportunity to work with such intelligent and motivated children. The summer camp program that ACLE offers is extraordinary and gives the children a first-hand opportunity to experience the English language and culture. The hard work with these children paid off in the end because an invaluable experience was given to them and they developed a deeper love for the English language because of it” -Tania Pitoscia, Canada-
“I really feel that it should be me thanking you! I had a fantastic time in Italy this summer. Although the work was hard at times, it was great experience and I would like to repeat it in one form or another” -Maddi Price, UK-
“Working for ACLE didn’t only allow me to gain amazing work experience that has now earned me a high-paying job as an ESL tutor at my university, I also gained an international family composed of fellow tutors from across the globe, camp directors, Italian children and their welcoming families, all of whom I will have a life-long connection with. I’ve never loved ‘work’ so much! Thanks again for everything!” - Bagel (Carly Bagelman)- America-
“The best comparison I can think of would be with something like skydiving; a great deal of anticipation, preparation, and apprehension as you stand ready to go. Perhaps a brief ‘oh crap’ moment as you start out, which quickly turns into a crazy adrenaline rush as the world whirls on by - and too busy having fun to take it all in. But then, in no time at all, it’s over, and you can’t wait to get back up for the next jump…” -Dan Botting, (Mr Ten Potting) UK
“It was truly an unforgettable experience which I will never forget. I have made myself a scrapbook with all my photos, postcards, tickets, brochures in etc, which I can’t get enough of - I keep looking back at it as such an amazing experience which I cannot thank you all enough for!” -Adrian Whittaker, UK-
“It was through ACLE that we were able to travel to beautiful places and experiences their particular traditions. It was through ACLE that our hearts were touched forever by tiny hands and big smiles of the children we taught. It was such an amazing experience that we can’t wait to go back.” -Nicolle Harrity & Carlie Frye, America-
“I really think it’s great for Italian children to be exposed to people from all over the world. It’s not only a learning experience for them, but also for the teachers. I loved working at the camps this summer. The people I worked with were amazing and the children were great. I learned a lot from my experience that I will take with me forever. It was my first time in Italy and I fell in love with it” – Genevive Savundranayagam, Canada-
“Every day I spend at work, I remember how lucky I was to have experienced A.C.L.E., a job with meaning, passion and something I care about. A job that gives you amazing rewards. ACLE doesn’t just give you a pat on the back for a job well done. Instead they give you gratitude, appreciation, love and most importantly a smile on a childs’ face (all human qualities other jobs don’t give).” -Lidia Costa, Australia-
“I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to live, work, and experience Italy this past summer! I truly had a life changing experience while I was working for A.C.L.E. I am a different, stronger, better person now because of this summer. This was by far the most rewarding and enjoyable summer I have spent thus far in my 23 years.” -Emily Hill, America-
