About Me
italki teacher since Jun 16, 2020InterestsTravelFilms & TV SeriesArt
My name is Giovanni and I was born in Turin in the north of Italy. I have lived abroad for many years. Way back in 1994 I went to live in Dublin in Ireland where I worked and studied for 6 years and then moved to Wales in the United Kingdom to study for the Bachelor of Arts in Documentary Photography. I lived in the U.K. and Ireland for about 12 years. In 2006 I moved to Bangkok in Thailand to teach English for a private language school and later on I found work at the Italian Academy of Fashion and Design as a teacher of Italian, English and photography. I also taught Italian at the first University of Thailand in Bangkok called Chulalongkorn. Now I live in Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand.Me as a Teacher
In 2005 after obtaining my Bachelor Degree from the University of Newport I studied at the University of Cardiff and achieved the PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) which is the necessary qualification in the United Kingdom to be able to be a teacher. In 2006 I moved to Bangkok in Thailand to teach English and Italian. I am a teacher who likes to be flexible, given the many years spent in different countries I am able to understand students from different cultures. My lessons are always targeted at each individual. I am a teacher full of enthusiasm and with many years of experience. I always encourage students to ask questions. I am very friendly and approachable. My lessons & teaching style
I always prepare lessons by using detailed lesson plans and activities. I always make sure that my lessons begin with an introduction and then I always focus on a particular topic on which students can then expand on with their ideas. In addition to the lesson plans, I utilize other teaching materials for interactive conversation and for written and listening tasks. In my opinion it is very important to entertain the student and that is why I am very flexible in my lessons. I am very open minded and I managed to achieve this by living abroad and teaching students from different countries.
I have experience with both groups and private lessons. It is always important to involve the students.My teaching material

Today we improved my understanding of prepositions which have been difficult for me. The lesson helped me better understand when to use what prepositions with which articles in a sentence.

First, we did dialogue activities where I learned everyday expressions. Then we moved on to reading to improve text comprehension, and in the remaining minutes we practiced conversation.

Oggi abbiamo avuto una lezione emozionante! We looked at a homework that included pictures from my weekend, and Giovanni even shared some pictures for his life! This type of studying is fun because it gives great examples of typical conversations, and it makes me feel like Giovanni is a great friend instead of a teacher. Grazie Giovanni- a domani!

As usual, we commenced with conversation, which allowed use of constructions to discuss more complex social issues and various geographical features - this was challenging, but speaking about contextually relevant topics was a fun application for me. We then continued with revision of the the si passivante, but this may need some more work. Nonetheless, engaging and interesting as always!

After some conversation practice, which allowed me to create some sentence constructions that I had not used before, we continued with our review of the si passivante. The resource for this is both interesting and easy to follow, with some excellent examples. Once we have completed this topic, I will have to practice these to consolidate my understanding. In any case, both the conversation and the review were enjoyable and informative. Always a pleasure working with Giovanni!
