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.

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.

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 !
