Francesco

Certified Tutor

I have extensive experience teaching both Italian and Mathematics. I hold a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy from the prestigious University of Warwick in the UK. This academic background showcases my ability to navigate both humanities and science subjects with ease. I am passionate about teaching because I believe that the best use of knowledge is to share it.

I have successfully taught Maths to numerous primary and secondary students in both the UK and Italy. I find that many students develop a fear of the subject, which is the first obstacle I focus on overcoming. With my background in both Maths and Philosophy, I challenge the common misconception that some people are simply "not mathsy" and more inclined towards the humanities. Under my guidance, you'll develop the methods and confidence needed to tackle all kinds of mathematical problems.

As a native Italian speaker, I am perfectly fluent in both the language and the culture. I believe that language learning is as much about culture as it is about grammar. By incorporating songs, movies, and anecdotes into lessons, the learning process becomes more entertaining and offers a deeper connection to the language. The Italian language encapsulates centuries of vibrant arts and poetic literature, so there's no reason why learning it should be boring or daunting. I emphasize practical learning and regular practice with my students. It's okay to make mistakes; the important thing is to keep going. Before you know it, you'll be fluent in Italian.

Overall, I believe the most important aspect of teaching is the ability to listen. Each student is unique, and I strive to tailor my approach to best suit their individual needs and objectives. By understanding their goals and the most effective methods to achieve them, I help students reach their full potential.
