Information About Giovanni:
Personal Description:
I am studying Portuguese, Spanish and History at the University of Nottingham where I have just finished my second year. I grew up bilingual in Italian and English as I am Italian and enjoy learning more about languages, therefore Portuguese and Spanish were a natural step for me to take. I am enthusiastic about languages and feel they are important for everyone to learn whether for general interest, to learn about different cultures or to improve employment opportunities.
I am a highly people orientated person. I enjoy meeting new people and understanding different points of view. This has been a strong part of my interest of language and subsequently travel. I am an active person who enjoys sports, going out with friends, current affairs, reading and travelling.
Teaching Experience:
I tutored a year 8 pupil last summer (2008) for a month before I returned to Nottingham with the start of my university second year.
Tutoring Approach:
The main benefit I bring outside my experience with language is my enthusiasm for them and the fact that as a student myself I offer a different approach than the classroom teacher. I found this helpful in retaining my interest in languages when I was in school and I think that kids would find me more approachable in the way I found my Spanish assistant in school more fun and easier to relate to when I was in school. I like to use film and music as a learning tool as people generally relate to these better. However I also recognise the importance of grammar and being a student myself have developed methods I still use to understand it more easily and in greater depth. The most important thing in languages is relating to them and developing the motivation to learn them, the methods around this come easily with some guidance motivation is created.
