"Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" - a healthy lifestyle!

My three main areas of expertise (not necessarily in this order):

- Chess: I teach chess to beginners and intermediate players up to ELO 1800 or ECF 1700, working on the tactical and strategic aspects of openings, middle games and endgames.. "chess is life in miniature"!

- Fitness / Running / Triathlon: I coach people who want to get fitter and generally incorporate any endurance activity into a health(ier) lifestyle. I am a dedicated coach who has competed in several marathons and Ironman races (also qualified for the Ironman World Championship). I focus on nutrition, stress and sleep as well for a holistic approach.

- Languages: I specialize in tutoring Italian and Spanish; my style is to keep students challenged and motivated through simple classes and practical exercises (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary).. I'm a demanding teacher but will guide you in a fun and interactive way.

Please contact me if you have any interest in spending more time and energy in any of these 3 areas, and don't forget that "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" is a good approach to look after yourself :)

About Me

Mens Sana in Corpore Sano.

I like to learn anything I can, and teach about a "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" - a healthy mind in a healthy body: my expertise is chess and triathlon (swimming, cycling, running) as I have been practising them for over 20 years and teaching them for over 10 years.

- if I have to choose 3 adjectives for myself? motivated, passionate, friendly - I'm a demanding teacher but at the same time I like to share my energy and passion about chess and triathlon.
- deliberate good practice makes us improve.. but we should enjoy the journey and not just focus on the final goal, knowledge is what makes people powerful and interesting!

Education

I completed a full degree in Management Engineering in 2008 (Italy, Portugal, Estonia) and have spent most of my career in the UK where I have lived since 2010.

Experience / Qualifications

10+ years experience as private teacher for both young students and adults (chess, languages and fitness). I am a full-time Revenue Operations manager in the finance sector but I enjoy teaching in my spare time.

Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

Become a chess expert with a Norwegian Champion. 8 years experience.
Hi, I am a 16-year old boy from Norway. I have been actively playing chess for 8 years, traveling in Europe playing tournaments, and working many hours every day. I have 4 years of experience teaching chess at my local club. My best results are winning the Norwegian championship both in classical and blitz, participating in World and European championship for youth, and winning various tournaments with prize money. I have learned a lot from my current teacher and was able to get in the top 10 Norwegian Championship after only 1 year, beating my chess friends which had been playing for many years. As a trainer, I will provide with analyzing your games, exercises tailored to your playstyle and level, exceptional theory, and lots of high-quality material. I teach students from the beginner level to 2100 rated players.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
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 !!

Private and group ballet classes with the Vaganova graduate
My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience. Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement. You can study with me: Classical ballet Point work Ballet Repertoire Stretching Ballet gymnastics

Paola
Private Italian lessons from beginner to advanced with an Italian native language
Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners. During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online. I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text. The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information. A presto!
