Cambridge English teacher and examiner with nine years teaching experience in schools and companies Born of Italian father and English mother, I've lived most of my life between these two beautiful countries, besides travelling to other countries too and living there for shorter periods of time. My passion for languages has led me to study several of these, such as French, Spanish and Norwegian. I currently study Tibetan and Greek, and would love to continue learning new languages in the future, as a way for broadening my mind and deepening my understanding of different cultures and mentalities. I'm particularly interested in ancient languages (sacred ones especially) and minority languages and their preservation. I also teach meditation, comparative religion and gnostic anthropology. I graduated in Spanish with English Language at Westminster University in London, in 2011, and that's when I first started considering teaching. I took my DITALS (Italian Teaching certificate) in 2012, and started teaching English privately at the same time.

It was nice meeting Giuseppe. He is a perfect teacher if you doubt your listening skills, also he is amazing in grammar. He explained to me the differences among the tenses in a while, and clearly! Thank YOU, Giuseppe. See you as soon as possible.

For anybody interested in talking about faith, meditation and the spiritual life, you'd be hard pressed to find a better tutor!! Joe has an incredible depth of knowledge and lived experience in the area! Also, since he is fully bilingual, it makes it incredibly easy to find the right translation when you're struggling to express some of the more esoteric ideas. Always punctual and patient. Excellent tutor!

Giuseppe is a wonderful teacher! He is patient, open-minded and he speaks very clear. Today I learned phrasal verbs, which are very common in everyday's life. I highly recommend to study English with Giuseppe. Thank you so much!
