Tutor Profile

Giancarlo

Private Italian Tutor

I'm Giancarlo, I'm 38 years old and I've been teaching Italian for more than 12 years so far at every level. Teaching is my passion and my job: so I consider myself a very lucky guy! I hold a Master's Degree in Italian Language and Literature (Sapienza Università di Roma, 2014) and writing is my second job. I published several books, mainly fantasy novels and I'm also a scriptwriter for Audible (I write audiobooks)! I am willing to help any student who wishes to improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Italian. I'm happy to tutor face to face when it's possible but nowadays most of my classes are on Microsoft Teams!

Teaching Experience

I have a proven track record of success with tutoring students preparing for the Leaving Cert or casual students who wish to learn Italian, maybe before a long trip to Italy. FIRST LESSON IS FREE :) - During our first class, we'll focus on your weaknesses and strengths to create a study plan that really suits you. Then we'll start working and having fun together!

Tutoring Approach

I have a very relaxed teaching style and I try to make my lessons interesting and fun! Think you're not good enough to learn Italian? Remember: if you struggle with something, most of the time it is simply because you have a bad teacher! Give me a try, it's free! :)

Gian is an excellent tutor who has been both patient and supportive throughout our lessons! The exercises and lesson structure have been incredibly helpful. Thanks to Gian, I've gained the confidence to make mistakes and keep improving my Italian while living in Italy. Thank you so much, Gian!

Giancarlo is an outstanding teacher. He is patient, enthusiastic and clear with his explanations. I am a casual learner who wants to improve my spoken language. From doing lessons with him, I have gone from a zero level in Italian to a high level of understanding and being able to articulate sentences in Italian. I really enjoy the lessons because he is great to have chats with me in Italian which improves my communication skills. I highly recommend Giancarlo as a teacher. He understands what your goal is. He is the best!!!

Gian is a great teacher, I would highly recommend. He is very patient, understanding and super encouraging. Gian is very friendly so I feel relaxed and not afraid to make mistakes, the class flies by. I had done other group classes before so I wasn't a complete beginner but lacked confidence in putting sentences together. Unlike some other teachers, I like that Gian will explain something in English so I can understand it better and more quickly. The one-to-one works really well as Gian adapts to suit my level and needs. My confidence in speaking Italian has definitely grown, even in the space of six classes. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn with Gian.
