About Giovanna

There are three qualities that I hold above all else: kindness, strength, and self-betterment. I apply these to all that I do. They are the reason that I continue to challenge myself, and grow as a student, a teacher and a person. These are qualities that I aim to instill in all my students, too.

My passion is English Literature, and I have always loved teaching. After having completed my Master's in Literature at King's College London, I spent two years as a full-time tutor in central London, subsequently working as a teaching assistant at the Great Ormond Street Hospital School. Ultimately, inspired to help as many children as possible, I embraced teaching and achieved my PGDE in Secondary Educational at the Institute of Education, UCL. I have worked as an English teacher and literacy coordinator since then, taking great pride in all the confidence and creativity I have helped cultivate in my classes.

Since joining this site I have devoted over 200 hours to my students. I do my utmost to personalise every lesson, and ensure I target my tutee's weaknesses while making the most of their strengths. I aim to build the confidence and ability of all my students, from children who struggle with basic grammar, to adults writing their first novels.

I have previously worked as an academic proofreader for (concealed information) and specialised in helping those with English as their second language and dyslexic clients find their voices. I have taken two creative writing courses, and have experience working as a copywriter. I have also embraced voluntary work, teaching a six week creative writing class at a local primary school and volunteering with the Reader Organisation in both Leicester and London, running a weekly shared reading group. While working with the Reader in South London, I led a group for individuals with a variety of physical disabilities and mental illnesses, from July 2015 - February 2017.

My other passions include martial arts, music, food and bouldering. I became a blackbelt during my GCSEs, and have experience teaching children (three years and up) as well as adults.

I am comfortable teaching all ages, and hope to incite a love for learning in my tutees! My friendly, approachable and straight-forward manner make me a favourite with kids of all ages, as well as adults - I know how to make learning fun, achievable and exciting!
