What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining classroom teaching and academic coordination in multicultural schools, with opportunities to manage exams, design curricula, and use digital tools to improve learning and operational efficiency.

I am a bilingual English teacher and academic coordinator with extensive experience between Italy and the United Kingdom, skilled in managing complex teaching activities, exam logistics, and intercultural communication.

I have delivered General English, Business English and IELTS courses, supervised Cambridge IGCSE and IB exam operations, and supported students with SEN, consistently improving outcomes and operational efficiency.

I combine strong organisational skills, digital-tool fluency (Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Moodle, Teams), and a commitment to confidentiality and inclusive pedagogy to drive learning progress and institutional reliability.
