English native speaker with Italian

I have been teaching English for 16 years. I am originally from Kerry but I now live in a small wine producing village in the north of Italy. I have a six year old boy and since he was born I have also started teaching children. I love teaching because everyone has an interesting story. I think it is important for students to understand their motivation. Why are they learning English? As a teacher, I try to motivate my students and teach them the most useful vocabulary and grammatical structures.
