My teaching approach is centred around collaboration rather than prescription. Instead of telling students what they should learn, I take the time to understand what they want to learn. Together, we create a personalised learning plan that suits each student’s goals, abilities, and interests. I have over 10 years of experience teaching both electric and acoustic guitar, and I aim to keep every lesson fun, engaging, and interactive. Beginners usually start by learning the names of the strings and the basics of holding and handling the instrument. From there, we move on to right-hand picking techniques, introducing the left hand to play notes and chords, and gradually building up to the essential chord shapes needed to play many of the songs we all know and love. From that point onward, progress is guided by you. Whether you’d prefer to keep things simple and song-focused or dive deeper into scales, soloing, and music theory, lessons are always tailored to your comfort level and enjoyment. My goal is to create a relaxed, supportive environment where students feel confident, motivated, and excited to learn.

Hello everyone! My name is Alessandra, and I was born in the beautiful island of Sicily, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Since the young age of 6, I have been swimming in these pristine waters, and my love for swimming has only grown stronger over the years. Growing up in Sicily, I've witnessed the joy that swimming brings to people during the summer. Sadly, I've also seen individuals missing out on this incredible experience due to their fear of water. This inspired me to become a swimming tutor and help those who want to conquer their fears and discover the magic of swimming. My approach as a swimming tutor is focused on creating a comfortable and safe environment for my students. I understand that each person has unique needs and fears, so I tailor my lessons accordingly. I know that it takes courage to face these fears, and I'm here to support and encourage you throughout your swimming journey. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, I'll be there to guide you step by step. One of my primary goals as a swimming tutor is to build confidence. We'll start at your comfort level and gradually progress as you become more confident in the water. You'll learn essential water safety skills and, proper breathing techniques, float effortlessly, and make the most of your summer holiday. I believe that learning should be fun and enjoyable. My lessons are filled with positivity, laughter, and a sense of accomplishment. Together, we'll work towards making swimming a source of joy and empowerment for you.

Chinese is a very useful language. Not only can you learn the culture of a big oriental country. You can also use this language to meet and make friends from China. Take a deeper look at the oriental beauty from this far East Country. By learning Chinese, you can experience the different philosophies of life between the East and the West.

Learning a new language can be both very rewarding as a leisure activity and useful for many working fields. I am Italian and I have a Master degree in Modern Languages (French and English). I have experience as a private tutor and I can help improving grammar, writing, reading and listening skills in both Italian and French.
