I've just graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA (Hons) in Theology and Religious Studies, where I was awarded the Sheikh Zayed prize for distinction in Islamic Studies. I'm a professional actor and have been based in London for several months now, where I've completed over 100 hours of face-to-face tuition, focussing on a wide range of not only different age groups but also abilities. I've prepared students successfully for 11+ and 13+ examinations for a number of schools, including ones such as Highgate, UCS, Upper Latymer, St Paul's and Westminster. I have also taught GCSE and A-Level Religious Studies, English Literature, and History, mainly teaching the AQA and OCR boards.
Additionally, I've helped students with their personal statements, and am particularly interested in helping students with their Oxbridge applications, whether that be through preparation for an admissions test, or general interview technique. I also have significant experience in online tuition, mainly in helping Chinese students to learn English as a foreign language, as well as improving interview technique and advising on general educational choices, such as deciding on which schools and universities to apply to.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
