My name is Ginny and besides the passion for teaching languages, I love traveling and exploring new cultures.
I am the founder of the podcast "Nihao": you can find it on Spotify and Apple Podcast.
I speak Mandarin Chinese and I have been living in Shanghai for the past few years. I currently live in Italy.
I am also into some environmental programs to sustain a green economy and manage the environment impacts of everyday life. I feel that we should be a winning example of economic growth with respect to the Earth and its resources.

Me as a Teacher
I used to give private classes from 2013 to 2015 in Italy, since one of the two majors of my bachelor degree is English Language and Culture. My first teaching experience related school-wise dates back to 2016, at Xiamen International English school (CHINA).
At the same time I was teaching Italian at 柠檬小语种 (LEMON Language School).
Afterwards I moved to Shanghai. There I had the chance to teach in two different schools. The first one for adults beginners seeking mostly Business English classes, 大嘴外语服务 (Big Mouth Foreign Languages Services) and the other one targeted High School students, 托玛士英语 (Thomas English)
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style may vary depending on students' level, their needs and their goals.
I can use flashcards, visual materials, games, warm up exercises, videos, newspaper articles, grammar textbooks.
Since I previously had students from 4 to 55 I am familiar with all kind of methods and I am able to understand each student's peculiarity.

Today we had an excellent talk, because I'm keeping my English trained watching tv series in English, and reading some articles from BBC news or other media. So we discussed about a new Chinese's cryptovalue, facing also to all Chinese'ambitions in the next future.
I hope my English is enough good on this feedback!!
