I was born and raised in Northern Italy, Milan, where I spent most of my childhood. At 18, I started playing football professionally, for five years. Meanwhile, I completed a BA in Literature and Philosophy at the Catholic University of Milan and published a book in Italian on the Latin poet Lucretius. At 23, I moved to London, where I completed an MA at UCL in Comparative Literature and a PhD in History of Psychology, again at UCL, whilst intensively working as a tutor. 

I have been a tutor and an academic teacher for the past five years, having been consistently tutoring whilst completing my PhD at UCL. My tailor-made tutoring varies from successfully assisting students on a 1-on-1 basis with their lessons, exams, pre-tests, and homeschooling, to academic teaching and supervising, both individually and in groups. I strongly believe that tutoring creates a unique space of support and improvement that can be more stimulating than any other learning environment. My lessons are inspired by three core values: patience, passion, and creativity.

I am currently working on the publication of a new book for Routledge. Meanwhile, I am also completing training in Jungian psychotherapy at the Society of Analytical Psychology in London. When I am not working, I spend my free time playing sports and staying outdoors as much as possible: I’m particularly fond of climbing and mountain sports.
