I'm a dedicated tutor with genuine enthusiasm for helping students excel in English, Maths, and Italian. Having completed my own GCSEs and A-Levels in England and currently studying at the University of Bristol, I understand the pressures students face and know how to make learning feel less overwhelming. My previous tutoring experience has taught me that every student learns differently, which is why I tailor each lesson to individual needs and learning styles. Whether you're struggling with algebra, need conversation practice in Italian, or want to improve your English grammar, I believe learning should be engaging and confidence-building rather than intimidating. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes and celebrating progress. My goal is to help you not just understand the concepts, but to use your knowledge confidently in exams and real-world situations. I'm patient, encouraging, and always happy to explain concepts in different ways until they click I completed my GCSEs and A-Levels in England at St Benedict's School in Ealing with strong results, achieving A*AA in Spanish, Mathematics, and Economics at A-Level. This led to my acceptance at the University of Bristol where I am currently studying Spanish and Italian. My language studies have deepened my understanding of grammar structures and language acquisition. As Italian is my mother tongue - spoken at home and during regular visits to Italy - I have native-level fluency and cultural understanding that I can share with students. My strong mathematical foundation, combined with a natural ability to explain complex concepts clearly, allows me to help students build confidence in problem-solving. I've always enjoyed breaking down challenging topics into manageable steps, making them accessible and understandable. Additionally, I hold a 120-hour advanced TEFL certification, which has equipped me with specialized teaching techniques for language instruction.

My experience as a tutor extends to both traditional in-person teaching and modern online platforms. Each mode of instruction has presented unique challenges and opportunities, and adapting my teaching style accordingly has been a rewarding experience. In face-to-face tutoring, I developed the ability to assess a student’s understanding in real time, adjusting my approach based on their reactions and engagement levels. This hands-on experience helped me refine my ability to explain complex ideas in simple, relatable ways, making abstract concepts in mathematics and physics more tangible. I had my IGCSE's in Egypt , then I went to a Military Engineering University where I studied Chemical Engineering , graduated in 1999 and worked in my field until 2009 when I took on teaching physics and maths in international schools until 2014 when I focused on tutoring and moved back to the UK where I opened the Digital marketing agency where I help clients build there businesses and teach their teams how to do it themselves in workshops and classes , alongside with tutoring some students in maths and physics.

I am an experienced and dedicated educator committed to helping students reach their full potential through engaging, interactive, and student-centered lessons. With a strong track record of improving scores, I adapt my teaching methods to suit each learner’s needs. I specialize in teaching 11+, Primary Maths, and GCSE subjects, including Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Mathematics. My approach fosters confidence, critical thinking, and a genuine understanding of concepts, ensuring students excel academically while enjoying the learning process. As a highly effective online tutor, I hold a TESOL certificate and have over three years of experience teaching 11+, Primary Maths, and GCSE subjects, including Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Mathematics. Currently completing my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering, I bring both academic expertise and practical teaching experience to my lessons. Having achieved top grades (A) in GCSE Mathematics, Physics, and Biology, I understand the challenges students face and tailor my teaching to help them succeed. My approach fosters a dynamic and engaging learning environment, building confidence and ensuring students master key concepts to achieve their academic goals.

I am a first-year student at the University of Liverpool studying International Relations. I went to school in Birmingham and studied History, English Literature and Economics A-level. I have a strong interest in the humanities, especially politics. I went to a Grammar school for my secondary and sixth form education so I have specific knowledge of the 11+ exam.
