Personal Description:
Italian qualified teacher. THE FIRST CLASS IS FREE! :)
Ciao! I'm Giancarlo, I'm 36 years old and I've been teaching Italian for more than 10 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 now living between Rome and Dublin (I love Ireland!!!) and 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 due to safety reasons most of my classes are ONLINE (Skype)!
Tutoring Experience:
I have teaching experience both at the high-school level and university level. I have tutored more than 40 students so far with a 100% satisfaction rate. 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.
Approach to Grinds:
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! 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! :)

GiancarloFrom Creina (5/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) 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!!!
Reply from Giancarlo: Wow, thank you so much for your words!!!! You're too kind :)
From Martina (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) 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.
From Naomi (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) Gian is an excellent tutor. He is enthusiastic and provides a great range of ways to learn Italian. Myself and my husband are both beginners and are thoroughly enjoying the classes so far (have done approx 3 months).
Gian is also very accommodating regarding having a different day/time each week (important as we work rotating shift patterns).
100% would recommend to anyone wanting to learn/improve their Italian :)

From Alan (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) Gian is a marvellous teacher, he is patient, friendly, respectful, and understanding. I’m looking to reach a fluency level of Italian and wanted to find someone who I could work with long term. I’m 100% convinced that I will not only work with Giancarlo until I get there, but that he will help me reach the fluency level that I require. He has great structure and teaching methods that are working wonders for me! If you’re looking for a teacher, look no further than Giancarlo. 10 out of 10. Alan
Reply from Giancarlo: Wow!!! Thanks a million Alan!
Reading this review really made my day :)
Ci vediamo presto!

From Amy (/5): (University Italian) I’m really enjoying studying Italian with Gian! He’s a great teacher and is a native speaker, so that really helps with pronunciation.
Reply from Giancarlo: Grazie Amy :)
From Jules (/5): (Senior Cycle Italian) Gian is an EXCELLENT tutor. I have worked with him for 4 lessons so far and learnt so much in such a short time. He is warm, friendly, fun to work with and always well prepared and organized. Working 1:1 online is just like being face-to-face because Gian is such an engaging teacher. I recommend him highly to any student looking for a great teacher!

From John (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) Needing to revise my Italian within a relatively short span of time, Giancarlo proved to be very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and, most importantly, dedicated. He came to each session with lots of material prepared and tailored to my interests and grammatical needs. His English is also excellent and so if the learner's Italian is not so good communication will not be an issue. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any learner of Italian, be they beginner or more advanced!
Reply from Giancarlo: Grazie mille John! :)
From Natalie (/5): (Senior Cycle Italian) Giancarlo has had great engagement. Looking forward to continuing learning with him
Reply from Giancarlo: Thank you Natalie! It's a pleasure working with Cian!
From Barry (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) Gian is a fantastic tutor, with great patience and a relaxed manner which immediately put me at ease. His classes always start promptly and are very well structured to my needs. In a short time, I have a greater understanding of conjugations and understanding masculine and feminine nouns, something I struggled with while learning other languages. I look forward to each weekly lesson.
Reply from Giancarlo: Thanks a lot Barry! Ci vediamo la prossima settimana :)
From Michael (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) Gian is an energetic, enthusiastic and competent tutor. All his lessons are well prepared, accompanied by useful and diverse teaching materials. With Gian’s energy, we always use the 60 minute lesson to the maximum, doing and learning as much as we possibly could. Additionally , Gian always makes the greatest effort to make him self available and adjust to my time table. He is very reliable. Starting with relatively basic Italian, I feel much more confident with my tenses and grammar after only 3 weeks of lessons- he always makes sure to correct if needed :)
Reply from Giancarlo: Well, wow! Thanks a lot, Michael :)
From Robert (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) tutto bene
Reply from Giancarlo: Grazie Robert :)
From Eva (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) Excellent tutor!
I chose Giancarlo to help me improve my italian after university, and I must say it was the a great choice. He is a great teacher, patient and able to adapt the lessons to my level and speed of learning. The lessons are fun and we focus on whatever I'm currently interested in - that gives me even more motivation to continue studying on my own after each lesson :)
Highly recommend!

From Maureen (/5): (University Italian) He is outstanding!!! I am an early intermediate student. His approach is to send me texts in English and I translate them to Italian. He then thoroughly corrects my translation.
As a bonus, the texts are great short stories.
Highly recommend.

From Elva (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) This is my first experience of trying to learn a language since secondary school and I can’t believe how much I have learnt in only a few sessions. Giancarlo is a really great teacher. He is challenging but also facilitates me frequently going ‘off topic’ to figure out how to say something that comes into my mind. 100% positive learning experience!
Reply from Giancarlo: Thanks a lot, Elva :) You're a brilliant student!
From Laura (/5): (Adult / Casual Italian) I would definitely recommend Giancarlo as a tutor. He is very professional, has great teaching ability and is able to adapt the lessons based on your current level and exactly what you want to achieve. He makes the lessons fun and I'm always looking forward to the next one!
Reply from Giancarlo: Thanks Laura! :)
