Information About Simone:

Personal Description:

I am reliable, sociable, hard working, enterprising, creative and full of enthusiasm. I have had a wide range of work experiences which has given me many useful transferable skills.
My strengths lie in mathematics, statistics, quantitative analytics and computing. I am very organised in my approach to work, and focus well on priority tasks. I also try to be as innovative as possible in order to find the best and most efficient ways to meet targets. As a result of this approach I work well under pressure. In my instructor roles, I have also realised the importance of team work in achieving goals and of patience, support and communication in managing and building working relationships. I am passionate about sport and dance, and have been participating in sports since the age of 6. During this time I have been a semi-professional footballer in Italy.
I completed a bachelor's degree in Naval Engineering in 2005 from the University of Trieste, and have completed a Masters in Naval Architecture at the same University in June 2008.

Teaching Experience:

During my studies, I have been working as a Italian, Maths and dance instructor and so have many experiences of inspiring and teaching students. I have worked also as a customer services assistant and secretary in a building firm in Italy.

Tutoring Approach:

From my experience as a Italian tutor, when somebody learn a new language is like a child, the easy way is the best. Examples with practical lessons are very important for vocabulary skills, interesting subjects for reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, while for the grammar a lot of exercises.
From my experience as a Maths tutor I have learnt to stimolate students and help them to belive in theirself. Many of them needed just this. I tried to understand what is important and enjoyable for the student and I made some examples in comparison with the focus of the lesson. Everybody think different so is very important to understand quickly who is the person. I always tried to be funny because Maths usually is boring.
From my experience as a dance instructor I have learnt to be professional. I worked with a diverse range of people in terms age gender and race and I have learnt to give constructive criticisms in sensitive situations.
