I am published author, qualified university educator, and experienced private tutor/proofreader. I predominantly tutor students at the tertiary and VCE level. I understand the different ways in which students learn and excel in tailoring my lessons to meet the needs of my students. I was previously an academic at the University of Melbourne, La Trobe University, and Swinburne University. Previous roles include working as an English teacher in Australia and Italy; ATARNotes author and tutor; and in various volunteer, mentoring and academic programs.

I graduated from my Bachelor, Graduate Certificate and two Master's degrees with First Class Honours. My Honours thesis was written in Italian. As a languages teacher, I have experience learning Italian, French, Spanish, Greek, Mandarin Chinese & Arabic. These studies have provided with advanced knowledge of languages and linguistics.
