Giusi G.

Ciao a tutti! My name is Giusi and I am a native speaker of Italian and a highly qualified and experienced Italian/English teacher (ITA Yr 7-12, VIT registered). I have taught Italian in secondary schools (from Yr 7 to Yr 12) in Victoria for the past 15 years. I have extensive experience teaching Year 12 Italian (both past and current Study Design) and I have worked as a VCAA examiner for both the oral and written Italian examinations. I have tutored young and adult learners of Italian and English for many years now both in Italy and Australia, including tertiary education. I am also a qualified Literacy Tutor, Instructional Coach, and CLIL (Italian/Humanities) teacher, which reflects an additional and distinctive set of skills and knowledge I bring to my tutoring lessons. I am a passionate, friendly, and enthusiastic educator. I have a genuine love for teaching and learning languages (I can also speak some Spanish, French and German) and I take pride in teaching my native language and culture as I find joy in seeing students' progress and growth as they connect with anything Italian. I also offer English lessons for EAL students. Students find my methods effective as they can rely on clear explanations, scaffolded learning activities, appropriate learning materials, and constructive and actionable feedback. They enjoy my friendly, fun, supportive, and caring nature and they feel safe and comfortable asking questions or further clarifications at all times during the lesson. Both colleagues and students appreciate my knowledge, organizational skills, collaborative nature, and passion for teaching. I use a variety of updated teaching strategies to respond to my student's learning needs and interests. My students' success inspires me to keep abreast of new teaching strategies so that I can offer the most rewarding learning experience. Are you a VCE or university student of Italian? Are you a beginner/intermediate/advanced student of Italian, willing to learn this language for leisure or travel pursuit? Have you just started to learn English? I am the right tutor for you! Touch base with me now and let's chat to see what your needs are, so I can best assist you. I am currently available for tutoring during the week from 5pm, Friday (all day - negotiable) and on the weekends in the morning (negotiable). Preferably face-to-face sessions, but online tutoring through Zoom calls can also be organized. Feel free to contact me via email, call or text if you have any questions or would like other information (e.g. confirming price, availability, subject, location, etc.). You're most welcome! Giusi :)
