About Me
I love teaching and learning, I believe the natural state of mind is that of curiosity and creative engagement.
I have more than 10 years of experience as international tutor, and impeccable academic credentials. However, I consider equally important the psychological and emotional development of pupils. Therefore I also have several years of experience with science-backed mindfulness practices, as well as attention and emotion regulation techniques and practices. I now integrate those practices into academic environments in order to stimulate cognitive process and promote socio-emotional wellbeing.
