Giovanna - Oxford tutor






Information About Giovanna:


Personal Description:

I'm an italian native speaker, graduated in Film and Media studies and I moved to Oxford to work at Oxfam.



Teaching Experience:

I taught italian for 9 months last year in Warsaw.



Tutoring Approach:

I taught a wide variety of students, between the ages of 8 and 50 years old, and for each of them I used a specific approach. I taught them Italian grammar and I also held conversation classes. I always tried to pay attention to their individual needs, looking for the right exercises (more or less difficult depending on their potential and capacities) and topics that were interesting for them. Usually I worked with movies, music videos, songs and with articles regarding Italian culture (poetry, politics, history, art, traditions, wines), depending on what my students were interested in. While I was studying Film and Media in Bologna, I took several courses in pedagogy and psychology connected to teaching methodologies. Those courses were related mainly to the teaching of topics like art, cinema, theatre and music, but I was able to apply the same principles when I started to teach Italian. I've always been adept at writing and I have a strong grasp of Italian grammar and dialects.
