Giovanni has almost became a household name! He has helped both my children with GCSE (Italian) and A level (Italian and occasionally French) and suffice to say that they have both passed with top results. He has also helped my husband to prepare for a B2 exam. We started with face to face lessons and then we had to move to remote, because of Covid. This has not affected the effectiveness of the lessons. Giovanni is very knowledgeable and *very* patient! He can engage with diverse age groups, diverse level of knowledge and maturity. He has also been very flexible and fit around a busy schedule. I do not hesitate to recommend him: do what he says and you'll get there!

Great start to tutoring programme. Giovanni has been both professional and conscientious. He is a pleasure to work with.

Giovanni has been an excellent Italian tutor. He quickly determined my ability and tailors lessons as necessary. There is lots of challenging homework for which there is quick and patient advice. He very easy to converse with and I look forward to our weekly Whatsapp lessons.

I set Giovanni a challenge - 6 months to get me to a standard where I can at least have a conversation for about 3 minutes in Italian. I already speak French and Spanish - so I knew that this was going to be difficult. However, Giovanni was up to the challenge and set about teaching me the basics, linking it to my understanding of French and Spanish and then building on the learning. I am pleased to say that during my week's visit to Sicily, I was able to converse with the driver of our transfer from the airport, order a taxi on the telephone (and tell him where we were located - as we were not in a main area of the town), speak to waiters to explain where we were from and chat to the guide on a Segway tour. Giovanni is extremely patient and explains things exceptionally well. It is like having a friend come over for a coffee on a Saturday morning, as he is an interesting guy and he also explains cultural significance of various aspects of Italian life, so you have some background to the explanations - as well as learning colloquialisms. I would recommend Giovanni for any level of Italian - he is professional, knowledgeable and a great guy!

Varied and interesting lessons. Clearly has a passion for what he does with many years experience. Thoroughly recommended!

I had a couple lessons with Giovanni and he was outstanding! I took Italian lessons to go on holiday and during my stay, I practised my Italian and I managed not to use English and I received very good feedback from the locals. I have got this result thank to Giovanni because he teaches just the way you learn your mother tongue, grammar, conversation and vocabulary. Everything, he does it's very natural and you don't feel that you are learning.

Excellent . Very good tutor , patient and very helpful. Looking forward to continuing the good work. Ciao!

Myself and my fiance are learning with Giovanni currently. We have had some tough months and Giovanni has always been understanding and flexible with our hectic lives. He is entirely professional, extremely punctual, and very welcoming. No question is silly, and no level of experience is required. He will instantly put you at ease and you will be able to get to grips with the Italian in a direct and fun way. He not only gives well structured lessons, but also sets interesting and useful homework. He understands that as adults we have working lives too and doesn't request hours and hours of individual learning. We look forward to learning with Giovanni - Thanks so much for your help!! :)

Giovanni is so polite, professional and patient! So glad I found him!

We went for a trial of a few French tutors before deciding on Giovanni. My daughter immediately asked to go for him as he quickly picked up on her strengths and areas of improvement. She found her lessons very helpful, and she is now confident in getting the grades that she was aiming for. Thank you, Giovanni for all your support and hard work!

Giovanni is friendly and engaging which is helpful for my daughters as they have a short attention span. He is always punctual and well prepared for the lesson. We are happy that we have him as a tutor.

Giovanni is a excellent **Web Address Removed** and my fiancée love our weekly lessons, and Giovanni makes them very enjoyable. He is always prepared with useful information and print outs. He has the patience of a saint and is very supportive which helps you feel more confident. The hour lessons always fly by as we enjoy them so much, just wish the hours at work went as quickly.

Enjoyed the lessons and understanding more of the grammar. Additional work between lessons was appropriate. Hopefully can pick this up when work becomes quieter with less travelling!

Very professional. I am very pleased

Giovanni is a very sympathetic , very well organised and flexible teacher. He adapts to personal needs of the language and makes the lesson very enjoyable. With just a few lessons he helped me to improve my Italian a lot.

Giovanni provides a lot of background literature and access to YouTube videos. He has an approachable, understanding and professional manner. I have no problems recommending him.

Giovanni has been an excellent tutor, very flexible and kind enough to accomodate changes in tuition timing when necessary. As a result of his high quality tutoring my daughter has obtained the maximum grade in her Italian GCSE. A splendid 9. Highly recommended.

Giovanni was great at training my son’s language skills in order for him to write essays about the film and book he needed for his A-level. A* gained in the end…all good, I would definitely recommend Giovanni.
