I'm a polyglot student passionate about helping others and sharing my knowledge with high-standard solutions.I'm half Italian and half Ethiopian, but I lived in Italy until I was 15, then moved to the UK. I'm a first-class student entering the second year of Finance at the University of Westminster.

Tutoring Experience

I have experience assisting with homework while babysitting children aged 5 and 7. I helped them with their math and English assignments, and also taught them Italian by conversing with them daily.

Tutoring Approach

During my stay in the UK, I gained extensive experience with various exam boards, including AQA, OCR, and Edexcel, allowing me to comfortably navigate and meet any exam board requirements. My academic journey was further enriched by my time in Italy, where the more rigorous and challenging curriculum significantly enhanced my math skills. This international exposure has not only provided me with diverse teaching strategies but also a robust mathematical foundation.

I achieved an A in my GCSE math, which laid the groundwork for my current studies. Now, I am pursuing a degree in Finance at university, where my passion for math continues to thrive. My finance studies enable me to apply mathematical concepts in practical, real-world scenarios, further deepening my understanding and appreciation of the subject.

My teaching philosophy is centered on making learning both enjoyable and meaningful. I believe in creating a positive and encouraging environment where students feel supported and motivated to excel. By helping students understand the purpose behind tasks and fostering critical thinking, particularly in math, I aim to enhance their problem-solving abilities and build their confidence.

I am committed to helping students achieve their academic goals and develop the skills necessary for future success. Whether you're preparing for exams or looking to strengthen your math skills, I am here to provide the guidance and support you need.

Additionally, as a native Italian speaker with a deep passion for my country, I am eager to share Italy's rich culture and language. I am confident that this platform is the perfect opportunity to do so, allowing students to not only learn the language but also appreciate the cultural nuances that make Italy so unique. My enthusiasm for teaching Italian, combined with my expertise in math, makes me a versatile and dedicated tutor ready to help you succeed in your educational journey.
