Ore 18.30-20.00

Presso inlingua Sassari in

piazza Mazzotti, 6

Aula: “Silicon Valley”

La vice-Direttrice delle Ammissioni all’Università di “Colby-Sawyer” Kate Newick terrà presso inlingua Sassari un incontro per i genitori di tutti gli studenti frequentanti la 4a e 5a superiore. Durante l’incontro la sig.ra Newick presenterà il suo college e illustrerà il funzionamento del sistema d’istruzione post-secondaria in America.

Il motivo per cui questa piccola università privata di 1.400 studenti (con una media di 17 studenti per classe) invia una sua rappresentante qui in Sardegna è perché intende incrementare la multiculturalità dei suoi alunni, tramite l’assegnazione di un’importante borsa di studio ad uno studente sardo che risulti essere accademicamente qualificato e con una buona conoscenza della lingua inglese.

Data l’importanza di questa opportunità, consigliamo di partecipare numerosi.

Ed ecco a voi anche il secondo nuovo insegnante!

What is your name?

Tony Estrada Mencarini

What is your position at inlingua and what do you like about your job?

I’m an English teacher. I like teaching classes that have students from all different age groups. inlingua Sassari is a very relaxed work environment and a great place to meet and get to know new people. I wake up happy to go to work in the morning!

Where are you from?

I grew up about 20 minutes from Washington, D.C. before moving to Virginia, where I attended the University of Virginia. I am of primarily Cuban and Italian descent.

Why did you choose Sardinia?

I’ve never lived close to the sea before, so the idea of living so close to the magnificent Mediterranean greatly appealed to me, especially considering that I love to scuba dive in my free time.

Do you speak other languages?

Spanish and brutal Italian (that is getting better). I studied Italian for two years at university and my Spanish is much more Latin American style as I learned it primarily through my travels there.

What are your favourite movies?

‘Trainspotting”, “Il Postino”, “Big Fish”…
