About Me

I am an Italian-born but British-adopted art teacher, with several years of experience working with university students, as well as private tutor for high-school and IB students here in Switzerland. Throughout my academic career, I have presented at international conferences and served on the boards of several academic institutes and journals.

As a teacher, I am fully aware of how rapidly the academic world is evolving, thanks to advancements in technology such as AI, and I am excited to help students explore its potential rather than demonise it!

My goal is to help students develop the essential skills needed for success in high school and university, including strong reading and writing abilities, as well as independent, honest analytical and critical thinking skills.

English Conversation classes/Vocabulary building/English writing
A language that is learned fast once spoken, English is one that requires a development of one's vocabulary. I believe the fastest way to get a feel for a language is to speak it, in a natural flow of conversation. I propose weekly classes of various different topics, about what is happening in the world, new films movies, culture, etc. whatever we choose to discuss in order to improve and correct your English. Correction of texts and essay-planning is also possible !

I have qualified as an English teacher over 14 years ago and I have been teaching it continuously ever since. My specialty are preparation classes from the Cambridge exams suite, especially A2 KET, B1 PET and B2 First. I have taught in several European countries such as Ireland, England, Romania, Italy and Spain, and in different education settings such as public schools, language academies, summers courses and online classes so I can adapt to different students needs. I can happily teach general English classes or simply help out with grammar, vocabulary or conversation improvement if that is what the student wants or needs.

French, English, Wolof, and Turkish Tutoring lessons
Online Lessons: In today's digital age, online lessons have become a convenient and flexible way to acquire new skills or knowledge. Whether it's language learning, academic tutoring, or professional development, online platforms offer a virtual space where learners can connect with educators from around the world. The advantages include accessibility, flexibility of scheduling, and the ability to access resources from the comfort of one's home. However, success in online learning often requires self-discipline and effective time management. In-Person Lessons: Traditional in-person lessons provide a face-to-face learning experience that has stood the test of time. From classrooms to workshops, in-person lessons offer a direct and personal interaction between the learner and the instructor. This method fosters a sense of community, allows for immediate feedback, and promotes a structured learning environment. In-person lessons are ideal for hands-on activities, group discussions, and activities that benefit from real-time collaboration. However, they may be less flexible in terms of scheduling and may require physical presence. Both online and in-person lessons have their merits, and the choice often depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the nature of the subject being taught.

English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOs
After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
