About Me

Hello!
My name is Francesca. I have recently graduated with a master's degree from the University of Oxford, where I studied Comparative Literature and Critical Translation. For my bachelor's degree, I studied at the University of Warwick where I received a first-class BA in English and Italian literature.

*********

LANGUAGE TEACHING:
Being an Italian born in Switzerland (a multicultural and multilingual country), having studied in England and in Italy, and now living in Portugal, different languages and cultures have always been an essential part of my daily life. Moreover, having studied multiple languages myself, I am particularly aware of the difficulties inherent in learning a foreign language.

When teaching Italian, I shape my classes according to the students’ individual needs.
I believe in enriching vocabulary and grammar lessons with little written tasks and oral conversations about Italian culture and current topics. This allows to put the theory into practice and contextualisation, and to render the classes more engaging and interesting. I also use translation as a powerful tool to delve into further aspects of the studied language.

Learning a foreign language takes time and patience. But this doesn't mean it can't be fun: I aspire to make my classes interactive and engaging, and by tailoring them to the specific needs of my students I help them achieve their potential without wasting time!

*********

UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS / PREPARATION:
Being willing to study in the UK led me to scrutinise the admission process and gain a wide knowledge of what different universities value most in candidates.

I help prospective university students with their personal statements, CVs, essays, exams and interview preparation, and the whole application process.

*********

OXFORD / CAMBRIDGE ADMISSIONS / PREPARATION:
Having applied to, successfully obtained an offer from, and studied at Oxford, I also have expertise in this procedure and I can help my students with useful tips and suggestions to improve their applications and let their personality and passion shine through.

I help prospective university students with their personal statements, CVs, essays, exams, interview preparation, and the whole application process, specifically targeting them for Oxbridge.

*********

LITERATURE:
As I hold a Bachelor's degree in Modern Literature and a Mater's in Comparative Literature, literature is one of my biggest passion.

I help students undertaking a literature course at GCSE (middle school), A level or IB (high school), or university.

*********

COURSEWORK:
Finally, I love to share my passion and knowledge of academia.

I help students assess their past coursework to thoroughly understand where and how to improve, and support them with their essays, presentations, dissertations, exam preparation, etcetera.

For instance, I can offer my students helpful guidance during the research phase, as well as accurate insight into how to effectively structure arguments and successfully expose them in a convincing and original way.

Education

2019–2020 – Mst in Comparative Literature and Critical Translation (Unviersity of Oxford)
2015-2019 – BA in English and Italians with Hons. (University of Wariwck)
2016 – Year Abroad (Università di Roma la Sapienza)

Experience / Qualifications

TEACHING EXPERIENCE:

During my studies, I always tried to combine my passion for teaching and education with my deep interest for human rights and social issues.
This led me, in 2016, to become part of Guides (UK) as an assistant, where I organised and coordinated recreational and educational activities for a group of twenty girls aged between 10 and 15.
In the same year I became part of a group of ten volunteers conducting an interdisciplinary project of educational and recreational activities, art and craft sessions and games for the children of the school in Jinja (Uganda).
In 2019, I was team leader in a project by the Are You Syrious, association in Croatia charged with organising an overseas trip bringing 15 young students to Croatia to provide lessons and activities to local young refugees and asylum seekers.
Currently, I am giving private language classes to students online.
I have successfully been helping prospective university students with their personal statements, CVs, and with the whole application process. Obtaining an offer from a leading university can be a major step in one’s career and particular care should be given to the thorough and strict examination these universities give to students’ personal statements, CVs and interviews. Being willing to study abroad in the UK led me to scrutinise very carefully the admission process and gain a wide knowledge of what different universities value most in candidates. Moreover, having applied to, successfully obtained an offer from, and studied at Oxford, I have expertise in this procedure and I can help my students with useful tips and suggestions to improve their applications and let their personality and passion shine through.

Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.
Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results. From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally. In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student. My most important contributions, especially (popular)-scientific, can be found on my LinkedIn page at the bottom. I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in: - Setup and planning - Doing literature study - Quality assurance - Presentation and structure/content - Popularizing the topics with catchy texts - Review with a critical look - Give layout and design input - And much more Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!
