Giovanna

Down-to-earth person, yet methodical and detail-oriented.
I believe in education and languages as tools to access better opportunities, especially for young people.
I am passionate about grammar and reading, I love taking pictures, watching independent movies, and going to art exhibitions.
While relaxed at the beginning, I establish why the person wants to learn that subject and what outcome they want to achieve.
Once this has been established and further goals agreed upon, I become passionate about results as much as their achievement is mine, too.
I take pride in what I do and would be available for extra support to boost confidence if needed.

Availability: Monday all day. Friday from 1pm.

Experience: After my Masters in Art, I worked for a multicultural organisation that supports foreign women from difficult backgrounds into employment and education; I taught Italian to the adults and helped the children with their homework and English lessons.
After that experience, I moved to the UK; one of my first jobs was teaching art to pre-schoolers and conducting Italian-speaking lessons with children whose parents are bilingual.

Here in London, I worked at the Natural History Museum where I was part of a team specialised in guides for children on the autistic spectrum.

During the summer term, I work as a freelancer teaching art classes for small and disadvantaged communities.

In August 2021 I studied at the South East London college, teaching English to pre and upper intermediate levels adults and young adults, and obtained the CELTA qualification that allows me to teach English as a foreign language.

At present, I work as an English tutor for a college in my borough.
