Massimo Montanari Veracini

Sono un formatore linguistico freelance bilingue (inglese americano e italiano) che vive e lavora a Milano.

Organizzo corsi di General e Business English individuali e di gruppo.

La mia missione consiste nell’aiutarti a comunicare efficacemente in inglese durante meeting, presentazioni e telefonate toccando tutte le dimensioni dell’apprendimento linguistico: reading, writing, speaking and writing.

Mi occupo del processo didattico dall’inizio alla fine: l’analisi dei fabbisogni, i piani didattici, la valutazione delle competenze linguistiche e l’erogazione del corso.

Mi occupo anche dell’organizzazione ed erogazione di seminari di Public Speaking in inglese per aiutarti comunicare in maniera efficace a un pubblico più vasto.

Mi dedico anche all’attività di traduttore dall’inglese all’italiano e viceversa e all’interpretazione simultanea e consecutiva (interprete) in occasione di eventi mediatici.

Quando non lavoro in Italia organizzo soggiorni studio nel Regno Unito e negli Stati Uniti e accompagno

personalmente i miei allievi.

I miei tre punti di forza: perfetto bilinguismo, formazione accademica multidisciplinare, esperienza pluriennale nel mondo della formazione linguistica in Italia e all’estero.
