I am a student who loves not only to learn, but to share my knowledge with others. I currently study Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Milan with emphasis on German and Scandinavian languages. I graduated with a bachelors degree in Linguistic Mediation with focus on English and Spanish. I was born and raised in Italy, but I had the opportunity to stay in the USA for 3 months and Sweden for 8 months. When I was in Sweden, I became a teacher’s assistant for English and Spanish at both elementary/middle school levels. Both of these experiences abroad have made me more aware of my "Italian" and have given me the opportunity to hone my skills as a language teacher.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I tend to be demanding with my students, but laid-back at the same time. I want my students to make the best, pressuring the students so as they can achieve their goals. I am also very accommodating, adapting my way of teaching and the language of instruction (Italian, English or Spanish) according to the preferences of the student. I am quite honest. This means that I might sound a bit direct sometimes, but when I tell you "your Italian has really improved! You could even have a job interview now!", well, I really mean it. So you best believe it!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Being a tutor here on Italki means allowing me to measure your progress in the Italian language. Depending on your goals, I will adapt the content and method of my lesson. I enjoy talking discussing culture, defying unfounded stereotypes about Italy, Italians and the Italian language. Making comparisons and expressing opinions via speaking and/or writing will help us enhance your language skills. In addition to dealing with grammatical issues ,I also like to dive into pragmatics, the actual use of the language.
Last but not least, I always try to make the lesson interesting and amusing for my student.

Talk with Giacomo - Loyal Students (over 40 lessons)
Ich lerne fast täglich mit Giacomo und es ist immer wieder sehr angenehm. Es ist nie langweilig und macht Spaß, es fühlt sich nicht nach Arbeit an und dadurch vergeht die Zeit wie im Flug. Durch seine Erfahrung kann er sehr gut einschätzen wo die Stärken und Schwächen der Sprachschüler liegen und geht gut auf diese ein. Zudem kriegt man auch immer wieder Übungsaufgaben von Giacomo zu Themen, an welchen man noch arbeiten kann und meist gehen wir diese dann auch gemeinsam im Nachgang durch. Da ich schon viele Lehrer kennengelernt habe kann ich uneingeschränkt sagen: Giacomo ist wirklich ein sehr guter Lehrer.

Giacomo è il miglior insegnante che ho trovato su Italki. Dopo 30 lezioni con lui, ho imparato tantissimo e adesso riesco a parlare in italiano con chiunque, senza problemi. Giacomo è una persona davvero gentile e tranquilla, e le sue lezioni sono sempre divertenti. In particolare, apprezzo molto la sua conoscenza dell'inglese e dello spagnolo: mi aiuta sempre quando ho un dubbio o commetto un errore. Parlare con lui è facilissimo perché ti fa sentire a tuo agio. Non vedo l'ora di fare la mia prossima lezione con Giacomo!

Giacomo has been a fantastic teacher over the past year and a half of lessons. He does a tremendous job of balancing when to practice patience and when to challenge me further. His teaching style and insights adapt as my own skills improve, enabling me to consistently break plateaus and never stagnate. He also does a great job of going beyond the materials we review; he always provides additional details and colloquial uses of things that I wouldn't just find in a book. On top of all of this, conversations flow naturally with him and he's truly reliable and dedicated to his craft. I can't recommend Giacomo enough to anyone trying to improve their language skills regardless of current ability!

I've been learning conversational Italian with Giacomo and I can already notice the improvement in my conversation skills. Giacomo has a lot of experience teaching Italian, his lessons are interactive allowing me to do most of the talking to practice recalling words, conjugating verbs all while holding a conversation. We use an Italian conversation textbook to guide the conversation topics, review useful words and phrases and that works very well.
