Giovanni is a very good teacher. He is very flexible and willingly goes along with our laid back approach to learning French. Very knowledgeable friendly tutor.

My wife and I have been having lessons from Giovanni for some months now and have found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the French and their language. He is also very patient as we have not always been disciplined enough to complete his assignments. I would certainly recommend Giovanni to anyone contemplating learning French. He is an excellent tutor and has a great sense of humour.

I have recently started Italian lessons with Giovanni … he is very professional, reliable, assessed my knowledge level very quickly and makes the lessons interesting with clear explanations about the language.

Very well organised and very efficient in summing up my requirements. I look forward to future lessons.

Giovanni has quickly adapted the lessons to suit my needs and given a good, honest assesment of how I can improve my Italian. I am enjoying the lessons and they allow me to focus on Italian at least once a week rather than let it slip down the agenda.

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!! :)

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!

Giovanni, was patient with a total new beginner to the French language. He explained the basics and took me through them. He let me borrow his books until i purchased my own. Unfortunately due to personal reasons i have had to postpone my learning, but hope to restart soon.

Excellent tutor - very thorough and good at explaining in a simple way that is easier to remember. He is always prepared and brings worksheets that have helped me learn much quicker. He also recommended some resources that I have found very useful. He's taught me a vast amount of French in a very short amount of time!

Giovanni is an exceptional teacher, he has been teaching my 4 year old and myself to learn Italian. My 4 year old thinks he is great and enjoys his lessons. He is a trustworthy, friendly, patient teacher and I highly recommend.

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

Very professional. I am very pleased

Only had 2 lessons but loving it. Giovanni is a great teacher and very helpful.

My wife and I have had 2 sessions with Giovanni thus far, 1 session for 1 hour, and another for 2 hours. Both have been very successful and we are learning a lot. Giovanni is very patient and understanding that we are essentially new to the language (although having done it at GCSE!). He has provided us with a number of learning materials, which ar of high quality and a good level of depth.

Giovanni is a great teacher! I immediately felt at ease with him. I’ve had 4 lessons so far and I feel really confident about how he will help me improve in French over the coming months. He has lots of learning materials and motivational comments to help out too!

Giovanni has tailored lessons to what my wife and myself need to learn for our situation. His lessons are full-on but also fun, with all the material provided that we need to continue our learning outside of the lessons. Highly recommended if you need a French tutor.

Giovanni tutored my son for GCSEs for approximately 6 months prior to exams and the change in my son's abilities due to this tutoring was amazing. My son felt more and more confident and we could see a significant change in his results in coursework and mock exams almost immediately. I would wholeheartedly recommend Giovanni for French tutoring.
