Review

My experience with Educo was fantastic.
Training week
It was great. I believe Charlie, Daniella, Kuba, and James were great trainers. They will teach you everything you need to know to be a great tutor. My trainer was Daniella (the superstar)  one of the best Human beings I’ve ever met! ps. She is super freaking talented.
Charlie (the savior) During My first week at a camp I had a few concerns.  So..... I message Charlie and she answered quickly even though she was on vacation. You are amazing! 
Kuba! He is the Man the myth! the legend! He helped me with everything while I was in the South. He is such an amazing Human. 
James was amazing at orientation (jellyfish) 
And then there is Sophia like my fellow tutor Katie said she is a super Woman! She handled everything! She was always ready to answer any concerns and help in any way necessary. Ex: When she found out I was allergic to cats and Dogs she managed to get me a new Host Family with turtles!! she is amazing! 
The views from the hotel were terrific. My advice for new tutors During training week is to just be yourself. Don’t be scared to make a fool of yourself. Remember you’ll be working with kids and when they don’t connect with you you gotta find creative ways to connect with them. 
Camp Life
 I was with Educo for 7 weeks last summer. I was first placed for 2 weeks in Venice (Mestre) which meant Venice was next door. So y’all know my fellow tutors and I went there to enjoy beautiful Venice. My next 2-week camp was in Treviso  The land of Tiramisu Those two weeks were amazing. Treviso is such a cute little city. I biked all around and it was totally worth it. Our Camp Director was amazing. And My host Family was the most amazing in the world. 
For my fifth week, I went to the south on a 9-hour car ride from Milano to Salerno. Honestly, I loved this 9-hour ride cause of my fellow tutors. We had such a great time getting to know each other. Listening to Kubas favorite Dad jokes etc. 
While in the South I got to experience a one-week Summer camp! We had the best time. The Directors were Amazing! The Tutors were great. The excursions were extraordinary like Beach day, Mozzarella Bufala Farm, ancient ruins, and water park. 
After the Camps, I was able to travel for 1 week around the South,  Almafi, Napoli, Capri, Pompeii, Salerno, and Sorrento.  For my last week, I was placed on Hold in the Milano Flat which was awesome cause I was able to go and visit Lake Como. Honestly, Educo was terrific to me. I'm sure everyone has their own experience.
I can describe myself as someone that goes with the flow so if you are like me you will have a blast.
Let me not forget about Host FamiliesI had great ones My favorite was My Treviso Family just know that families are not supposed to show you around they do what they can. All the families make sure you have a great time. Some may want you to speak only in English because of their kids some may be ok with you practicing your Italian. For example, I only spoke Italian with the grandparents. 
Sometimes some camps might not be as amazing as others but you can always find a way to make the best of it.
I love to travel around Italy so when it came to transferring between camps I loved it. 

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
