My Experience
My first experience with tutoring started very soon, when at 16 my English teacher referred me to some younger students at my secondary school. I started helping them with ESOL and English literature, preparing them for end-of-the-year written and spoken exams. From that moment I started tutoring everyday after school, taking up pupils from very different backgrounds and with different school specialisms. It continued after my graduation from secondary school and into my undergraduate degree.
When I was doing my undergraduate degree in International Studies and European Institutions I was part of a tutoring programme promoted by the University to help younger students that found some module a little challenging.
In 2014 I started a MA in Human Rights at UCL (University College London). Throughout the year I was tutoring two pupils in:
ESOL
IELTS preparation
Italian
My Qualifications
I attended secondary school and undergraduate degree in Italy, in the Milan area.
My school is specific for the study of foreign language and it is called “Liceo Linguistico Falcone e Borsellino”. I graduated with the A Levels equivalent of
Italian (language and literature),
English (language and literature),
French (language and literature),
Spanish (language and literature),
Latin (literature)
History
Philosophy
Art History
Maths
Biology
In 2010, I obtained my secondary school degree with a mark of 92/100. For this reason, I was ranking in the top 5% of my school and top 10% of the area.
Having demonstrated academic excellence and several extra-curricular activities (Drama Club, Tutoring programme, Student Representative) I won a scholarship offered by my hometown (Premio di Eccellenza per Studenti Aresini) and another one offered by University of Milan.
My undergraduate degree at University of Milan was a B.Sc. in International Studies and European Institutions. I won scholarships for academic excellence every year of the course, from 2010 to 2013. I graduated in 2013 with a First with honours (110/110 cum laude). I was part of the editorial team of the faculty’s newsletter and newspaper and a member of the Public Speaking society.
The excellent results obtained with my undergraduate degree allowed me to win a scholarship offered by the Department of Political Science at UCL, London. In September 2014 I started a MA in Human Rights.
In 2017 I was accepted at the journalism school at City University of London.
