Certified tutor with 10 years of experience in Italy and USA

From 22.33 £ /h

My experience as a private Italian language tutor began after graduating from college. At that time, I realized that besides music, my true passion was teach Italian, the most musical language in the world, in my opinion. After moving to New York for a PhD, I dedicated some time to attending a course at the Italian Academy of Columbia University to become a certified teacher of Italian for foreigners. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to teach Italian to dozens of people of all ages and nationalities with outstanding results. I utilize a highly personalize approach depending on the level and the goals of the students. The grammar is going to have an important yet secondary role in the learning process that will take place in a more natural and intuitive way. (this approach also derives from my own experience in self-teaching Spanish, Mandarin and French). For example, I will encourage the student to have a sort of diary that we will use to delve into specific conversation and grammar topics.
Learning Italian without frustrations is totally possible. Trust me.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

Nice to meet you and congratulations for reaching this point, where you want to enter the entrepreneurial world by founding your own Startup!

I've been in the same situation as you since 2013, when I was in college and studying many books on how to start a successful startup. Since then, I have learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, and above all what is true and what is different from reality. For example, I wondered why essential concepts were not taught at the university, such as the importance of social relationships with third parties, which can really make the difference between failure and success!
Up to now, I have raised 6-figure financing capital and I have worked in 6+ countries where I have sold products and promoted businesses.
My teachings have especially helped young entrepreneurs to realize their ideas in real activities. I helped them reduce the time to market and reduced greatly their estimated startup costs.

I am new to this platform, but I have several references in consulting and analysis and I will be happy to have a 30 minutes introductory conversation with you so that you can get to know me and understand if I am right for what you need.

I am currently a Business Analyst at ION group, previously I have founded some startups and also worked as Project Manager, Associate Consultant at international companies (eg PwC, Beretta SPA)

I graduated in Switzerland and obtained the title of MSc in Economics major Management cum Laude. I do this job because I love helping young people to become entrepreneurs.

I will be your greatest ally, which means:
1. I will be 100% available to you, at night and on weekends (I know that startup work is 24/7 and many things are last minutes, so I will be extremely responsive in providing you with feedback or other support.
2. I will continue to review the business plan, pitch deck and any other documents until you are 100% satisfied.
3. I will tell you immediately what I see (In the presentation of a startup, understanding the key critical issues in advance makes the difference between a presentation that grabs funds immediately and one ... that does not receive it soon ;) )
I want you to be better prepared on all the aspects of your pitch.

My key achievements are:
- Raised 6-figure capital as funds from private investors.
- 5+ years of experience as Business Analyst and co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer for Kheper Software House, a blockchain startup
- Proficiency in creating reports and dashboards with Power BI, Excel and PowerPoint if is needed for deep analysis.
- Participated in over 20 startup competitions and hackathons.

Until today, I have worked in these industries:
- Entertainment (Gambling)
- Blockchain
- Medtech
- Fintech
- Edtech
- Hospitality
- Pharmaceutical
- AI
- Digital Experiences
- For fun: I participate in voluntary activities for environmental impact.
