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 :)

I offer a range of different dance classes, as well as yoga, stretching, and toning all with the underlying movement of the body. I have been working and teaching in the industry all my life and have worked with those who have no experience at all to those who are considered to be some of the best in their respected fields. I provide an in-depth class that is specifically designed to match the skill level and goals of the students I take on. I can either travel to your exact location or book a space in a venue that may suit you better depending on your space allowance. In these classes, we will go through a range of techniques, learn new skills and mostly have fun. ( I can teach up to three people at a time if you would like to buddy up with friends or family ).

Always wanted to play football but never got the chance? Or perhaps you’ve joined a team and want some extra training? Does your child love football and want to play more?

I’m offering bespoke 1-1 or small group football coaching for kids and adult beginners or intermediates. Sessions will consist of a warm up, drills and a cool down. Great for fitness too!

I have played football my entire life to a high standard, as well as coaching, managing and refereeing along the way.

Depending of the spaces (Webcam or on location) the class would differ.
My main aim is for people to have access to a system of learning through which they can absorb and understand a practice that they could then bring with them wherever and whenever they want.
My way of teaching involves for the moment 17 different chapter, involving improvisation tools (Movement), theatre exercises, stretching and fitness.
All the classes are customised according to the students needs and objectives.
