    About Me

    I have multiple years of experience working with families and educating children. I have studied family dynamics, child psychology and the art of communication and emotional intelligence. I closely follow the Love and Logic platform which, in my experience, provides healthy habits for ultimate growth and connection between parents, their children and their caretaker. I am patient, assertive, flexible and value fostering independence with children. My passion is creating art (playing music, drawing, dancing, painting, poetry etc) and this is often involved with my care taking. My top priorities are being safe, healthy and happy! Working with young, new minds is a beautiful privilege that has changed me in amazing ways. I am looking for a family with a similar focus on nurturing emotional growth and encouraging education and the arts.

    Education

    Education is a life long pursuit of mine, I am a very self motivated learner. I have taught myself a variety of skills including nutrition, sewing (pattern and costume making), photography and a variety of musical instruments. I have recorded, designed and released my own albums and a book of photographs. I am well versed in the arts, natural horsemanship, British history and simple mechanics.

    Experience / Qualifications

    3+ years of tutoring in all general academic studies as well as art, cooking, crafts, plant identification, emotional intelligence and communication and life skills.

    Italian ↔ English conversation with chatty Italian living in Belgium
    Want to impress your partner with newly discovered romantic Italian compliments? Want to showcase your wine knowledge to your in-laws during a family dinner? Want to be able to order a caffellatte macchiato con latte di soia without having your waiter scoff at you while traveling around Italy? Then starting a conversation with me will be your answer! I will guide you through the amenities of the Italian language, coming from someone who grew up with it. I am a Bioprocess Engineer, currently employed in Gent at an industrial biotech company. I studied and lived (mostly) in Italy until I was 20 years old, then I moved to Copenhagen to continue my education. I am an Italian native speaker, and I use English in my daily personal and working life. Talking to someone is the best way you can practice new languages. When I was a teenager I moved to Canada for six months to learn English, and even if I struggled at the beginning, pushing myself to have crooked conversation with friends was the perfect way to start mastering the language. We can talk about current topics, family, hobbies and the like. If you have specific requirements or interests, we can indeed explore those. Let me know, a presto!
