Information about Giovanni

Ciao! Hi! Hola! Ça va?

I have been teaching Italian, English, Spanish and French for several years now in a variety of contexts and settings: in private schools, companies and associations, for groups as well as individual students.

Also, I have worked as an academic tutor at both the University of Bologna and Heriot-Watt University. I am currently tutoring at the Centre for Open Languages (Italian department) of the University of Edinburgh.

Born and bred in Northern Italy, I have lived extensively in the UK, Spain and France, thus gaining a deep insight into a number of cultures. Having graduated from the University of Bologna, Heriot-Watt University and the University of Avignon, I have experienced different academic systems too.

All these experiences, alongside my CELTA certificate and other certificates of linguistic excellence, (probably) makes me the right fit to help you achieve your full potential.

I apply a content integrated approach tailored to your communicative needs, which fosters active learning and steady progress. (No miracles, though: expect some homework.) All lesson material will be provided.

On a personal level, I am friendly and easy to get along with, flexible and patient, whatever your age, level and reason for studying.
