As a self-employed language tutor, I teach English and Italian online and in cafés. I assess each student's level and prepare my own materials around their needs and areas for improvement.

My students have included adults learning languages to enjoy their travels, professionals aiming to improve their workplace skills, and university students practicing conversation. While living in Japan, I also taught English to businesspeople and university students.

At ISE inc., I taught English and Italian in person and online to students of all ages and levels. I prepared individualised files, evaluated students, trialled and assigned textbooks, and planned classes around their learning needs.

At Newcastle University, I tutored Italian one-on-one, focusing on conversation and pronunciation, and gave presentations on Italian language and culture. I studied Japanese Studies at Newcastle University and spent my Year Abroad at Dokkyo University.
