BECOME A TUTOR
OZITALY helps native English speakers from Australia find a suitable host family in Italy where they can live like a ‘local’. In exchange for some English tuition, participants receive full board and accomodation.
If you fancy a holiday at no cost to fully enjoy the food, the art, the history, and the culture of this wonderful country, this programme suites you perfectly!
OZITALY IS UNIQUE
It’s a cultural exchange programme available to Australians only. It’s a personalized live-in experience which takes into account your needs and your preferences. You will feel part of the Italian daily local life, add further value to the discovery of Italy and establish new and rich connections and human relationships within the Italian reality. Your host family will help you discover the hidden gems of Italy and you will have the chance to practice or improve your Italian language skills.
HOW IT WORKS
When you are a homestay tutor, you only teach english for 8 hours a week based on a flexible schedule that will be discussed with the host family when you arrive in Italy. The rest of the time is yours to explore your new home, travel and make friends.
Your host family will provide you with authentic home cooked meals, a comfortable bedroom, and will also be your personal local tour guide! Host families will love to teach their homestay tutors about their country, show them around and introduce them to their family and friends. You will become a part of the family and community, which is way more exciting than being a tourist.
You can choose to go any time of the year that works best for you. Placements last 1, 2, or 3 months. It’s recommended that you get in touch with OzItaly at least 3 months prior to when you want to leave Australia.
host family selection
OzItaly suggests a list of suitable host families but it’s you who chooses the family that you prefer.
You have plenty of time and opportunities to get to know your host family before making any decisions. It is essential that the homestay accommodation is of high quality and provides a safe, comfortable and caring environment, therefore host families have to pass a background check, an interview, and agree to a home inspection.
VISA AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES
You can come to Italy as a tourist or on a Working Holiday Visa. A Working Holiday Visa allows Australian citizens aged between 18 to 30 to live and work in Italy for a maximum period of 1 year and travel to and in all the other European countries. Depending on your experience and qualifications, you may also be able to find a job as an English teacher in local schools and organizations (always in high demand in this area).
