Experience Italy as a local and boost your resume!
You’ll experience authentic Italy as a local and meet new friends while helping others as an English Home Tutor or School Teaching Assistant.
Home Tutor: If you’re exciting about working with children in a home setting, you’ll love this option! You’ll tutor your Italian host children for 15 hours per week, giving you plenty of free time to explore your area, make new friends, and work on your Italian language skills! A screened host family provides a private bedroom and all your meals.
School Teaching Assistant: If you’re seeking a classroom teaching experience, the School Teaching Assistant program is for you. You’ll volunteer at a local school for 15 hours per week, helping students with their conversational English. In exchange for a private bedroom and meals, you’ll also tutor your host family for 3-5 hours per week.
Most placements are in Le Marche, a beautiful and safe region nestled along the Adriatic Sea. Placements in other parts of Italy are possible, too!

Year-round (home tutor) / fall, winter, spring (teaching assistant)
I applied to become a teaching assistant in Italy with InterExchange and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity which I loved. I really had no idea what to expect before arriving but InterExchange made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable (Ashley in the InterExchange office was brilliant).
I taught in two schools and all the local staff were so friendly and spoke excellent English. I was never left to teach alone in the classroom. The kids were a pleasure to be around, as they were so friendly and always keen to improve their English. My host family were very welcoming, I felt like part of the family and they taught me so many things. On the weekends, I got to see more of Italy and the French Riviera and eat the delicious local cuisine (especially the gelato).
This program had such an impact on my life. I learned new skills through teaching and tutoring, gained more confidence traveling by myself being thousands of miles away from home, and met a family I will never forget. Thank you, InterExchange, for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime.
