Could anybody give me any information at all about the Casaloldo branch of British Institutes?

They are offering 800 Euros a month (after tax), accommodation +paid utilities and use of car (some travelling required).

Many thanks!

I looked up the town for you. It has a population of just over 2600, so I'd say you'd be travelling a lot to other places in order to get your teaching hours. (Does the ad say how much teaching would be required?)

Mind you, in the nearby towns there are 4 secondary schools - 2 scientific schools, 1 technical school, and 1 commercial school (Italian secondary schools are all "specialist" in something). Maybe you'd be doing "lettorato" - i.e. helping kids to develop speaking skills in the mornings. (For which the schools might be paying their provider around �30 an hour and up.)

If the school is paying accommodation and utilities (and find out what sort of accommodation!) then �800 net per month isn't too bad. You can easily feed yourself on that - and have some left over for travelling around at weekends etc. Do note, though, that Italian schools (if you were working as a lettorato in one) have lessons from Monday morning through to Saturday morning - i.e. you might be teaching 6 days a week. On the plus side, Italian state schools don't operate in the afternoons, unless you've got remedial lessons or Cambridge exam prep. So that might leave you free for other lessons - either back at the school, or farmed out to companies nearby for corporate training. Can you ask to see a sample timetable?

As with everything, check the details of the contract. Are they paying tax and INPS (social security covering health and pension); or will you need to pay part of this? What accommodation / utilities / other costs are they paying for? I'm assuming petrol and car maintenance, but do check. What other help do they provide in settling in - i.e. getting codice fiscale, residency status.
