SOCIO FONDATORE
“We are not supposed to be teaching English, we are supposed to be creating an environment where learning can take place.”
Charles - Scotland
MANAGING DIRECTOR AND TEACHER
“My specialty area of teaching is Business English and Career Enhancement. I’ve had an association with Tuscany for more than 15 years, and now after a long career (I won’t tell you how many years) in the financial sector, in the UK and all over the world, it’s a refreshing and fulfilling change to put down roots and be living here full-time in my home in Livorno. I don’t mind the wine in this part of the world either…”
Rossella
SOCIO AMMINISTRATORE E CONSULENTE
“Avevo 20 anni quando ho deciso di perfezionare il mio inglese e ho pensato subito alla British School come la scuola ideale. Da quel lontano 1992 non ne sono più uscita! La British School è per me il posto dove sono anche un po’ cresciuta, dove ho avuto modo di incontrare persone meravigliose. Oltre a far parte dell’azienda come partner insieme a John e Charles sono anche freelance e mi occupo di consulenza, comunicazione e PR.”

“Although Shakespeare is credited with coining a large number of words we now use in English, the language predates him by hundreds of years. In fact, researchers have found that some words in English have remained completely unchanged for thousands of years!”
Joanna Paolinelli - Scotland
RESPONSABILE DIDATTICA
“I’m from Scotland and love living in Italy and love what I do. I believe that if a child finds it hard to learn in class then it is up to us to facilitate learning by teaching in ways that can help them to learn. I love technology and using it as a learning and motivational tool. I totally believe that creating the right atmosphere is so important, not only in the classroom but also in the workplace. I also work as a singer-songwriter and I’m always singing, even when I teach!”

I’m a bit of a shopping addict but try not to have time!”
Fiona - UK

“Hi everyone! My name’s Fiona, I’m from Manchester and I came to Italy “for a couple of years” back in 1989. I’m still here, one husband and two grown-up children later 
When people ask me if I will ever go back to live in England, I reply “Absolutely not”! I love living in Tuscany with its good weather, wonderful cities and scenery, fantastic food (and wine) and friendly people. I’m also lucky enough to be doing a job that I love, so I’m staying right here! (Brexit or not!!)
