About
Hello! My name is Anna, I am a recent graduate in Italian Literature, and an aspiring teacher and ambassador of Italian culture all over the world. But above all, I am an insatiable bookwork!
I tutor... Italian Language and Literature, European History (from the Classical to the Contemporary period), and Latin. I had a truly multifaceted university experience: I did my Bachelor's in Humanities at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, while attending a minor in International Relations at the university's honours college (the International College) and spending one year at UCL (University College London) as an Erasmus Affiliate. For my Master's I moved to Pisa, where I completed a Master's Degree in Italian Studies at the University of Pisa and a Second-Level Master's in Literature, Philolgy and Linguistics at the Scuola Normale Superiore. The most important lesson I have learned? That any course, any subject, any reading – even the ones you would have never expected – could ignite a spark in you.
I am intellectually curious, I strive to never stop learning, I easily get passionate about the most diverse topics. I believe that every student can fill in their gaps, improve their results and get great satisfaction from school and studying. They just need someone who can listen and understand their difficulties, help them to enhance their strengths, and support them in finding an effective learning method. If you are looking for a highly prepared tutor, who's able to support and stimulate your students, contact me!
Can't wait to get to know you and help you achieve all your goals.read more
