My background

I hold a PhD in Pure Mathematics from the University of Manchester, where I also work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant since 2016.
In 2019 I have been awarded Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, which is awarded to those that demonstrate how their teaching methods meet the criteria of the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) for teaching and supporting learning in higher education.
I have been a private tutor for over 10 years (first in Italy and then in the UK). I have tutored more than 300 students, with great results and excellent feedback.

Experience

I offer private mathematics (and physics) lessons at all levels, either at home (in Manchester) or online (using Skype and the AWW shared whiteboard), in English or Italian.
I use a high-speed internet connection, a microphone with noise-cancellation and a Wacom CTH-461 graphic tablet, so I can write just as fast as I would do on a physical whiteboard. In my opinion, technology has reached a point where online tutorials have the same value as in-person lessons, and students can learn from the comfort of their homes.

My method is inspired from the “flipped classroom” pedagogic technique, where a substantial part of the work takes place outside the classroom in order to maximize the usefulness of the lecture hours. This means that a diligent student can obtain excellent results with a low number of paid tutorial hours.
This is not only cost-effective, but it also teaches the student how to be independent and work on their own – always remember that during the exam the tutor will not be present
