Over 500 European students have transformed their English reading abilities through this course, and you could be next.
My program is carefully structured around the unique challenges faced by Europeans transitioning into the expansive phonetic realm of the English language.

Each class typically begins with a curated reading segment, followed by interactive pronunciation exercises. By the end, students can expect improved reading fluency, expanded vocabulary, and heightened comprehension. The curriculum also explores diverse English literature themes, offering a multifaceted learning experience as well as generates interest while engaging in critical thinking conversation afterwards.

Your first lesson will be on me and will include a consultation on everything we will do together including the skills and abilities that you would specifically like to improve!

See you in class,

Thanks for taking time to check out my profile.

I'm an outdoor-loving Canadian, born and bred in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. A life-long student of life and educator across multiple time zones and countries. I'm currently living and working in Europe as an educational consultant for local schools and learning institutions.

★ Information Technology (IT) English with a focus on economics, blockchain, finance and online colloquialisms

★ ★ Introducing an AI-inspired teaching curriculum where you'll learn how to use tools, learn terminologies and what the experts are saying about our future!

Want to hit that dream job? Perhaps you’re an international student considering moving abroad? Or maybe you just want to brush up on your language skills to make you a more attractive person, employee and citizen of the world?

If this is you, don’t hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours - promise.

Each lesson with me is always open to customization as I've had tremendous experience outlining step-by-step guides that outline our monthly plans, goals and ambitions.

My current students are often business professionals, single moms, undergrads, transfer students and people interested in the IT sector, investment field and personal development with big dreams and ambitious goals.

After a complimentary lesson where we will discuss where you are, and where you want to be - I'll be sending you a detailed outline of a plan moving forward so we can get started.

All it takes is one message.

I'll see you in class,

✔ 2023 note: As per request from several students, I've been asked to cover the Theory of Knowledge program that I previously taught for multiple years. This program offers a high-quality and critical look into the nature of knowledge and the process of knowing. If this is something that would interest you, please let me know.

Mind Mechanics: Critical Thinking Classes (Inspired by The Theory of Knowledge IB Program)

Steeped in a synthesis of age-old wisdom and contemporary insights, this course is more than just a series of lessons—it's a transformative experience. I've always believed in the power of the mind, and over the course of my teaching journey, I've fine-tuned this program, drawing from the teachings of renowned authors and adding practical applications.

Each week is designed to challenge your thought processes and widen your intellectual horizons. We delve deep into principles elucidated in well-regarded manuals, picking apart their lessons, and understanding their relevance in today's fast-paced world. But we don’t stop there. Through rigorous workshops, interactive discussions, and real-world scenarios, students get to apply these principles, turning theory into actionable strategies.

The beauty of this course is its adaptability. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a seasoned professional, or someone looking to enhance personal growth, the skills acquired here will prove invaluable. By the end of our sessions, you won’t just think differently—you’ll view the world through a more analytical, discerning lens.

Some examples of recent classes:
1. Logical Fallacies & Cognitive Biases:
Exploring common pitfalls in reasoning, from straw man arguments to confirmation bias.

2. Exploring multi-faceted problems with no clear answers:
Techniques to navigate ambiguity and make informed decisions.

3. Media Literacy & Information Consumption:
Understanding the age of information overload.

4. Real-world Application & Case Studies:
Analyzing contemporary issues, from political debates to corporate decisions, through the lens of critical thought.
Working in teams to present and defend solutions to complex problems.

Sound interesting?

See you in class,

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 !!
