Hello,

I am an experienced language teacher. I am a native speaker of Italian and I am fluent in French Spanish and German. I have a BA in Linguistics, a Master's in European Politics, a Master's in Italian Studies from the University of Washington and a Ph.D in Comparative Literatures from the University of Binghamton.
I was a language instructor at the University of Washington in Seattle, and at Syracuse University.
I taught and lived in Italy, Sweden, Germany and Spain. I also work as a freelance interpreter for Spanish and Italian. I love languages and I love to teach. My classes are very communicative and you will immediately start speaking your new language from lesson 1!

You will not only learn a new language but also all the cultural aspects that are part of your new language.
I teach at any level and age group. I also teach children and I love doing it!

Are you ready to express yourself in a different language and see the world in a different way?

PS I provide online access to the textbooks we will use during tutoring, you won't need to buy any texts.

Awesome Tutor with good results

Giovanni helped me with many of my Intermediate Spanish homework assignments. I had only very basic knowledge of Spanish before meeting with him. With him guiding my use of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciations, I was able to score high marks on all my assignments. I was not so confident at the start of the semester but by the end I was so relieved to receive an A in the class which would not have happened without his help. The assignments were long and often involved many steps, yet Giovanni was patient and didn't rush so I learned properly. Giovanni was very easy to schedule time with, and he was quick to respond. He is very well versed in use of technology and communication skills. I can't recommend him enough to anyone needing help with Spanish or any of the other languages he tutors.

More than patient

I'm 66 years old and have never learned a 2nd language. It's also been years since I've attempted to learn anything in a "teaching" atomsphere. Giovanni is more and patient and very encouraging. I couldn't be happier.

Great Tutor

Giovanni is knowledgeable, kind and sends resources and practice sites after the sessions so you can work on your language skills. My teen is learning French and preparing for a French language proficiency exam and the tutoring sessions have assisted them in staying motivated. Thank you!

Patient and Professional, A+++

ease of explaining things and taking time to explain concepts. Giovanni is very easy going and welcoming. after 2 minutes you feel like he's a distant cousin or someone you've known for a long time.

Fantastic experience

This was my first time with Wyzant and I. Happy to have worked with Giovanni. I will subscribe soon. We worked on grammar and speaking. He assessed my areas of weakness and I'm grateful for that.
