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.

Faccio lezioni con Giacomo ogni settimana da più di 9 mesi, e c'è sempre lo stesso piacere di parlare con lui. Giacomo è molto simpatico, paziente, calmo, con una mente aperta e un buon senso del umorismo e sa sempre come spiegare bene le cose. Non mi fa mai sentire in soggezione.

I could tell right from the very first class with Giacomo that he possesses a deep knowledge of language and experience helping non-native speakers to improve in their journey of learning italian. I am happy to have found Giacomo as a teacher since not only did he offer different material resources based off my interests but right from the start he has shown legit interest to help me achieve my goals on reaching an advanced level of Italian. I like that he resorts to various class dynamics to facilitate learning and communication and that we can talk about anything, ranging from easy topics to complex ones and the fact that always before jumping into the discussion, Giacomo provides a briefing on vocabulary and gives background so we can develop the topic together, 100% recommended. Grazie Giacomo per la tua pazienza e volontà in sempre cercare di aiutarmi a raggiungere i miei obiettivi linguistici!! Alla prossima!

Giacomo is terrific! Thoughtful, intelligent, and a great conversationalist. Italian is a new language for me, and it helps that Giacomo is multilingual and I can reference other languages in my questions to him about Italian. I feel very supported by Giacomo in our lessons. He's truly invested in his students' progress and that's super encouraging to a new student like me.

Giacomo corrected me as I spoke. I found that very useful. I also learned a lot of new words. Excellent lesson!

Giacomo è stato molto chiaro e preciso nelle spiegazioni. Avevo un dubbio d’italiano e lui è riuscito a chiarirmi il tutto in pochi minuti.
