ACLE (Associazione Culturale Linguistica Educational) is a non-profit organisation endorsed by the Italian Ministry of Education. ACLE promotes a student based teaching method and is the first in Italy to teach English to children through T.I.E. (Theatre in Education) and organise drama courses for teachers

Our Tutors are given a 4-5 day Orientation Course before being sent to work in one of our Camps. This course prepares Tutors for their teaching position by providing them with activities, songs and games which teach the English language. In addition, we provide a manual and ideas on lesson plans and drama skits. We ask Tutors to bring their knowledge of drama, songs, games as well as their own creativity and ideas to make the Camps more enjoyable for the children and yourself.

Each summer ACLE sends over 600 Native English speaking Tutors to over 300 Camps in Italy. Our Camps are located all over Italy and in the past have included Rome, Milan, Sicily, Bologna, Dolomites, Pisa, Siena, Naples to name a few. We have two kinds of Camps, Summer Camps and City Camps and the children are generally aged between 6 and 16 and will expect blood, sweat and cheers from you.

Summer Camps
Summer Camps are residential and usually held in a hotel where the children come and stay for a week at a time. Tutors also stay at the hotel and work all week with the children, providing activities such as pre-organized lessons, drama, games, sports and evening activities.

City Camps
City Camps are usually held at a local schools and the children come five days per week, being dropped off daily. Tutors are hosted in either a flat or by a family who open their home and hearts to them.
