My story

 

Languages and education have always been at the heart of who I am. Growing up in a close Italian‑English family meant living between two cultures, two languages, and two ways of seeing the world. At school, this passion grew into a love of learning; I studied English Literature, Italian, French, and German at A‑level before going on to read Italian and French at Oxford University, where I graduated with a 2:1.

My early career took me into retail, including exciting opportunities in Italy where I helped open stores in Milan and Venice. It was becoming a parent that inspired me to move into education. For the past ten years, I’ve worked in primary schools, teaching whole classes and delivering focused interventions for KS1 and KS2 pupils.

Supporting a wide range of learners—including many neurodiverse children—has shaped my approach: patient, adaptable, and rooted in understanding each child as an individual. Today, I combine my love of languages with my classroom experience to offer tutoring to both adults and children in Italian and English, while continuing to guide primary pupils as they grow in confidence and skill.
