I am a native Italian speaker studying MA Geography at the University of Glasgow. In my third year of university I did an International Exchange at the University of Toronto, Canada. In Glasgow, I work as an Italian tutor, teaching my language to students from different nationalities and with any sort of backgrounds. I've worked as a tutor for 3 years and I teach several subjects and languages at various levels. I have a lot of experience in both online and face-to-face lessons. I also taught in Toronto and in Rome. Moreover, I have a classical background: studying Latin and Ancient Greek for five years at Liceo Classico (high school), I learnt grammar and acquired a deep knowledge of classical literature and culture. I am enthusiastic about sharing what I know and about having friendly relationships with students. In the past years, I volunteered in a primary school (Scuola Primaria Villaggio Lamarmora, Biella, Italy) and I worked as the assistant of the teacher in drama courses for children at ‘Opificio dell’arte’ (Biella, Italy). In 2017 I volunteered in a mission in Peñas, Bolivia, teaching Maths to local students. During these experiences I learnt to understand the different needs of students, both younger and older. I really like helping people and learning something from them! I also enjoy studying languages myself: I speak Italian, English and Spanish and I am studying Portuguese and French. Therefore, I understand what people can find difficult both in grammar and in conversation.
