11About Me
My name is Lola, I am a third year student of Italian and Spanish at the University of Oxford.
I was born in New York, but grew up attending an international IB school in Serbia.
I moved to London to complete the IB Diploma Programme, where I took Higher Level English Literature, Spanish B and History, alongside Standard Level Mathematics, Biology and Film. To my shock but not my teachers’, I managed to achieve the maximum 45/45 IB points.
I am currently on my Year Abroad and am studying Italian Literature for a semester at the Università di Bologna in Italy. After this, I plan to volunteer in either Spain or Latin America, before returning to Oxford for my final year.
Aside from my greatest passions of Italian and Spanish (both language and literature), I also like to dabble in journalism.
My teaching style
I like to get to know the student, figure out their learning style, and formulate my teaching style around that. If the student is an auditory learner, I will explain things orally. If they are a visual learner, I will make sure to include lots of pictures and graphics. I strongly believe that nobody is incapable of learning, it is just about finding the right learning style and teacher, and approaching the task with the right mindset. So if anything, my teaching style is one where I show students that they are capable of learning whatever they set their mind to.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievements are achieving the maximum 45/45 points in the IB Diploma Programme, and getting into Oxford University where I study Modern Languages.
