My teaching style
My teaching style is interactive, student-centered, and adaptable. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where each student feels comfortable and motivated. Here are some key aspects of my approach:
Interactive Learning
I incorporate a variety of activities such as conversations, role-plays, and real-life scenarios to make lessons dynamic and practical. This hands-on approach helps students to actively apply what they’ve learned.
Personalized Lessons
I tailor my lessons to meet the individual needs and goals of each student. Whether you’re preparing for exams, seeking conversational fluency, or aiming to understand complex economic theories, I design my lessons to suit your specific objectives.
Cultural Immersion
For language lessons, I emphasize cultural context, integrating aspects of Chinese, Spanish, and French cultures into the learning process. This not only enriches your understanding of the language but also makes the learning experience more enjoyable and meaningful.
Clear and Structured Approach
I provide clear explanations and structured lessons to ensure that complex concepts are broken down into manageable parts. This is especially important in subjects like economics, where understanding foundational principles is crucial.
Encouraging and Supportive
I strive to create a positive and encouraging learning environment. I believe that confidence is key to learning, so I always provide constructive feedback and celebrate your progress.
Flexible and Adaptive
I adapt my teaching methods to suit different learning styles and paces. Whether you prefer visual aids, interactive activities, or detailed discussions, I am flexible in my approach to ensure you get the most out of each lesson.
With this teaching style, I am committed to helping you achieve your learning goals and making the process as enjoyable and effective as possible.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievements reflect my dedication to both academics and personal growth. Here are some highlights:
Academic Excellence at St Andrews
Maintaining a strong academic record at the prestigious University of St Andrews is a significant accomplishment. Grades consistent of Firsts and 2:1s showcase my commitment and passion for these subjects.

Multilingual Proficiency
Achieving fluency in multiple languages—Chinese and Spanish, as well as foundational French—demonstrates not only my linguistic abilities but also my dedication to understanding and appreciating diverse cultures. I also speak Italian at home due to my Italian family background. This proficiency allows me to connect with people from different backgrounds and teach these languages effectively.
