About Giulia
Ciao! I’m Giulia, an Italian tutor born and bred in Milan. I have always loved the idea of being able to speak multiple languages, to be able to see the world and feel less of an outsider when doing so. I find intriguing discovering places only the natives go to rather than the most touristy destinations.
My journey with languages started when I began studying foreign languages at school in Italy and I now speak Italian, English and Spanish. The journey continued in England, where I was an au-pair for a year, in the county of Nottinghamshire, it continued in Hertfordshire and I am currently living in the beautiful Shropshire, making trips to gorgeous Wales so much easier.
In the meantime, I continued to travel around the world, making good use of my languages. Teaching and tutoring are something I have always done in school to fellow students or friends and family but this year I decided it was time to do it professionally as well and I am enjoying this journey so much!
When I’m not teaching or doing life, my idea of a good time is being curled on the sofa, reading, surrounded by my cats, preferably with rain pouring outside. I also enjoy walks around where I live or in the English countryside.
Along with my husband we plan to move back to Italy one day, to be able to be closer to my family but England has a very special place in my heart.
In conversation with Giulia
Where are you from, and what first drew you to languages?
I was born and bred in Milan. I have always loved the idea of speaking several languages, so that I can see the world and feel less of an outsider while doing so. My journey began when I started studying foreign languages at school in Italy.
Which languages do you speak?
I speak Italian, English and Spanish, and I have made good use of all three on my travels around the world.
How did you end up living in England?
I first came to England as an au pair for a year in Nottinghamshire. After that I lived in Hertfordshire, and I now live in beautiful Shropshire, which makes trips to gorgeous Wales so much easier.
How did you get into tutoring?
Teaching and tutoring are things I have always done, first at school with fellow students and then with friends and family. This year I decided it was time to do it professionally as well, and I am enjoying the journey enormously.
What do you love most about travelling?
I find it fascinating to discover the places only the locals go to, rather than the most touristy destinations. Speaking the language makes that so much easier.
How do you like to spend your free time?
My idea of a good time is being curled up on the sofa with a book, surrounded by my cats, ideally with the rain pouring outside. I also love going for walks near home and in the English countryside.
What does the future hold for you?
One day my husband and I plan to move back to Italy so that we can be closer to my family, but England will always have a very special place in my heart.
