I am an experienced tutor from Oxford, England who is happy to teach English to speak, to write (for academia or business), or for exams like IELTS and the Cambridge Assessment. As you'll know English is an extremely valuable language to have to work or simply for travel in today's world.
I have taught English from a very basic level (to non-English speaking refugees in Turkey) to a very academic level and have completed a degree (in Philosophy, Politics and Economics) at the University of Oxford.
I also teach Italian and am fluent in the language as my mother is from Lazio and so I learnt it from a young age.

About Me
I have recently graduated in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford in England.
I have much experience teaching: maths and Italian in England; French in Italy; English in Italy, Spain and Turkey. And I really enjoy tutoring and the sense of achievement when a student understands a difficult concept.
I use quite a variety of methods, depending on if I'm teaching a class or 1-to-1, and adults or children. Mostly I use traditional methods like language exercises but sometimes games can be valuable.
I'm hoping to move to Buenos Aires soon (August-September 2018) and will teach there but for now I teach from England via webcam.
