Luca

I am an experienced tutor offering personalized guidance across a wide range of subjects, including academic skills, languages, sociology, philosophy, and music. With a PhD in Music and a diverse teaching background in higher education and informal settings, I bring a student-centred approach to learning, designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and academic excellence. My creative interdisciplinary experience and research enable me to support students in both the arts and humanities, providing tailored support that meets individual learning needs.

Tutoring Experience

I have extensive teaching experience in higher education and tutoring, at institutions such as Toronto Metropolitan and Middlesex University. My subject areas span music, media studies, sociology, cultural studies, and philosophy, providing a strong foundation for tutoring students in various disciplines. In addition to academic subjects, I specialise in developing key academic skills, such as essay writing, research methodologies, and exam preparation.

My experience in international contexts, combined with my interdisciplinary approach, allows me to effectively support students in language acquisition and creative subjects. Whether assisting with complex theoretical concepts or guiding students through creative projects, my adaptable teaching style ensures each student reaches their full potential.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring emphasises personilised learning and active engagement. I work closely with students to identify their strengths, challenges, and academic goals, creating a tailored learning plan that addresses their unique needs. My methods focus on inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to ask questions, explore new ideas, and develop independent thinking skills.

I encourage students to connect theoretical frameworks with real-world applications. I integrate practical skills with a focus on communication, performance, and cultural context, making learning dynamic and interactive.

I offer support in developing essential academic skills, including time management, critical thinking, reflective practice and effective study strategies, enabling students to improve their academic performance across the curriculum.
