Does learning English or Italian as a second language knock you down? Do you need one-to-one support for GCSE or A levels exams coming up soon? Have you had projects and work rejected because of lack of appropriate language skills? Do you think time has come to prove you can speak a foreign language but you feel embarrassed to go back to study and practice, for instance learning phonetics, reading aloud, rehearsing phone and zoom conversations? Speak with Maria! either online or face to face is the service I offer to people living in Dulwich and surrounding areas. I charge between 30 and 60 GBP per hour. I have retired as management consultant, I am TEFL qualified, former Librarian and project manager in controlled environments, published author, ICT Technician registered with the Engineering Council, retrained as as food safety and nutritional coach during the pandemic lockdown and former housekeeper. There is no specialistic, functional or general English or Italian language learning problem I cannot help you with! I have huge expertise in learning and tutoring theories, technologies and methodologies, including TEFL for specific English exams and fundamentals of phonetics plus a range of experiences as a teacher / tutor / coach / instructional designer and e-learning entrepreneur mostly in business and private training contexts. My education background is in the humanities, social sciences and information and communication technologies. I have a passion for lifelong learning, foreign language acquisition and public understanding of science and outstanding results as private language tutor. Do not hesitate to contact me for any further information, sending a brief description of your circumstances and goals. Many thanks Maria Longo 0788 7990108 [email protected]

Strange, I wonder what type of updates you got since Windows 7 was discontinued in 2020?. If you have upgraded to Win10 from Win7 there is chance you had just had to shut down and restart a couple of times as the installation of the updates had not finished yet. Win 10 has a User Account Control that does this sort of thing.

Hi Caroline I can help but it may turn out one of those Microsoft things... (interminable job) you do not really want to pay for. You should be able to have at least 50Gb and 1 Gb max daily growth rate. Check what type of licence you have on Exchange and if you have already or not a third party archiving solution offered with it that you might have just overlooked or you did not activated. If you come back to me privately with this information, your postcode and your phone number I will let you know what I can do to help you organise the mailbox archives. Maria

I do not offer groups lessons at the moment because it would be impossible for me to deal with the administrative costs but if you already have a motivated group of up to 6 people or if you are recruiting teachers / tutors as a private school or training agency I am happy to consider your request. Many thanks Maria

Do you need a private language tutor for your study of Italian or English (as a second language) for your work? We are out of the EU but not out of Europe and you may wish to be able to speak Italian as a very important continental Europe language now and in the future! Also, if you have recently come into the UK and your English is not fluent enough to develop your activities, why don't you solve this problem and progress your study or career quickly? I am pleased to offer my service "Speak Italian / English with Maria" to students in Dulwich and surrounding areas for A-levels, further education / academic purposes or for business projects. I have time for max two new students from January 2022 onwards. I will be able to help with a bespoke programme to reach your goals, meeting you mainly in person for sessions up to 60 or 90 minutes each. I charge between 25? and 60? per session depending very much on the starting level, your goals, the time required to prepare your materials. All meetings take place in person in quite cafes', meeting rooms or other suitable public spaces in Dulwich, Peckham, Camberwell, Brixton, Herne Hill, Streatham Hill and surrounding areas where there is good ventilation (and still in place a safe level of Covid measures for the time being). Possibly from January onwards we will have more choices of venues. I also do curricular integrations or revisions, review of translations, conversations via chats and video calls and similar support activities. If you are interested in "Speak with Maria" from January on it is convenient to approach me before the end of November. Many thanks! Grazie mille!

Yes, many thanks! Maria

Lambeth and Southwark residents can access a Community foot health (podiatry) team service set up by Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Trust. They have vairous clinics in SE1, SW4, SW8, SW16 and Se27. I have recently discovered it because of an emergency (in grown toe-nail, cannot say the pain! caused by the fact that during the pandemic private chiropodists were all unable to help or they were unaccessible / on holiday or had too long waiting lists for appointments). Couldn't recommend it more! See https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/our-services/community-podiatry/patients.aspx#na Maria

I charge between 25? and 60? per session (usually 1 hour) for language and ICT support (one to one). The minimum fee applies only to GCSE students (very basic tutoring programmes with lot of ready materials available) or basic instructions on how to use common software or smartphones and for conversational English / Italian for adults that do not really need to learn the language because they are already fluent / proficient and just want to refresh it with a chat. For bespoke programmes that require learning in a limited time and lot of ad hoc preparation and reviews for specific purposes (business or academic) I may require a minimum commitment of 4 or more sessions with advance payments via bank transfer after the first two trial sessions. Best wishes Maria

Agree about Nunhead Gardener I have recently been there in Camberwell. I would also check with other local garden / indoor plants shops in Dulwich and West Norwood and the ones that sell plants next to the Dulwich Library, West Dulwich and Herne Hill stations because they can give you very good prices at the moment. If you really want to go get the plants yourself and browse around: 1) There are amazing large Garden Centres in this part of the town, try googling "garden centre" and West Norwood, Herne Hill, West Dulwich or Norwood and I think you will be amazed to discover garden centres you did not know exist in the area. I learned about them from people that actually come here from Surrey or Kent to buy cheaper! Norwood is possibly better for outdoor. Croxten Road and Alleyn Park are not cheaper, but they have amazing choices carefully selected for both outdoor and indoor. 2) As far as the specific product you are looking for is concerned, it may be convenient if you have a look at the impressive Plant Warehouse in Spitafields Market, in Central London, that is where I occasionally go if I need to buy plants for my clients in a hurry and at a convenient price - they have huge quantity and variety of stuff coming mainly from the Netherlands. But not always the quality is up to the highest standards... trading such a massive range of plants it happens that some batches are ill-fated / unfortunate, but if you are just trying to experiment the place as a conservatory it may be worthing to get inspired with their offers before making more serious designs and plans. Double choice and half the prices you would find in Chelsea :)

Try Morrisons in Peckam and you will not be disappointed with the packaging for big families. The same is with East Dulwich's big Sainsbury (Dog Kennel Hill) and with the big Tesco in Old Kent Road that is possibly the best in terms of choices from international suppliers (Tesco has also opened a big one in Streatham Common). Small local "express" shops can be very disappointing and give you that impression, although they can all be convenient for some particular products (Co-op and M&S and local Sainsbury and Tesco for instance have sometimes choices of products you do not find in bigger supermarkets and viceversa). I shop for myself and occasionally for clients and when I need mega quantity of veggies and fruit - but also meat and fish - my first choice is Morrisons, second is Sainsbury. If I need to buy lot of vegan seasonal offers I would also consider Lidl in Peckam, they are quite convenient with fruit coming from continental EU and I think also with British dairy products (I barely look at coz need to avoid actually!). In case of loads of meat / fish and fresh products needed without being able or willing to go to the supermarkets, I would not discard the local butcheries and fishmongers' shops and the weekends' markets: you find plenty in Peckam, in East Dulwich's Lordship Lane, in Brixton (with excellent produce coming from Lincolnshire), in Herne Hill and in West Norwood. All in all perhaps you have to understand what better matches your needs and then adapt a little bit your shopping habits / frequency because in this Country (although South London is full of very big families from African and Asia background) the portions tend to be much more Europeans than Americans.

Does anybody offer repairs on backpacks' suspension straps? My Wenger backpack is over 6 years old and out of any warranty but still perfectly fine apart from one of the shoulder strap that's started tearing apart... Need just few stitches I believe
