Civil Engineer with Geotechnical specialism International Baccalaureate (IB) Tutor & academic coach in scientific subjects

After earning my high school diploma from a liceo scientifico, I undertook a university path in engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan, obtaining a laurea specialistica in Civil Engineering with Geotechnical specialism.

My passion for teaching and study support grew from my desire to communicate both the knowledge and abilities that are needed to solve problems that may seem insurmountable.

My teaching method is the fruit of my own experience, which has allowed me to understand how each individual has a completely different way of approaching his or her studies, from comprehension to the analysis of problems.

Each of us possesses personal characteristics and cognitive differences that create a unique process through which we approach the study of scientific subjects.

In an educational curriculum that is standardized for the masses, some students still find themselves in difficulty. As an alternative, a different approach needs to be designed, on the basis of the haracteristics and difficulties of each young person. In this way, each student’s intellectual resources may be maximized, thus obtaining optimal results even where previously, it seemed impossible. 

By modifying the way in which a student comprehends and explains a subject, we can interrupt the vicious cycle of “unsuccess,” thus helping young people to experience satisfaction and gratification from the results they have achieved. For me, teaching means working side-by-side with youth in the process of maturation and constructing their own futures. Studying includes a personalized process that is adapted to each pupil, with a serious consideration of the person and careful attention to his or her potential and distinctive personal characteristics.

The tutor’s relationship with parents is also fundamental because they occupy the most important formative role. I offer to parents, during a period of time that is explicitly set aside for them, the opportunity to communicate about their child’s process, in order to better understand the situation and innovate together the customized solutions and instruments for each pupil.

Tutoring

From 2014 to today

For students from international schools: Tutoring and support delivered in English to middle and high school students. Preparation for International Baccalaureate (IB) exams and other requirements. Support in the preparation of scientific and mathematical content for the SAT/ACT tests and IGCSE exams. Enhancement of scientific subjects (IB Math Studies, Standard and Higher Level Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics). Study support for students who wish to prepare their knowledge of scientific subjects, in light of future admission to international boarding schools, colleges and universities.
 

For university students: Study support and exam preparation for students of the Polytechnic University of Milan, Bocconi University, University of Milan (State University and Bicocca campuses), particularly for examinations in statistics, mathematical analysis, chemistry and physics.

For liceo and Italian high school students: Preparation for the admissions test at the Polytechnic University of Milan and the Bocconi University. Preparation and study support for the Esame di Stato and the high school thesis. Remedial lessons for school subjects not passed. Study support for students with learning differences and disabilities, enhancement of cognitive abilities, and the organization of personalized study plans.

For middle school students: Study support and tutoring for homework, with focus on the construction of adequate, effective study methods. Study support for students with learning differences and disabilities, preparation of individualized study plans.

Other than being a competent and sensitive teacher,
Luca has proved to be a delightful person and a point of reference for my children.

Ciò che mi piace di più delle lezioni di Luca è che con lui posso essere me stesso, dire tutto quello che penso
o che non ho capito perché non mi sento giudicato ed è disposto a fare di tutto per spiegarmi in modo chiaro e conciso.
È molto sicuro e mi trasmette sicurezza.

Da quando Luca lavora come tutor al fianco di Nicolò, Y12, il suo approccio alla matematica è cambiato:
ha acquisito un metodo nell’affrontare gli esercizi e la sua autostima è decisamente migliorata insieme ai voti!

Ragazzo sempre disponibile, simpatico, molto preparato, con grandi capacità di far comprendere la matematica!
Con lui le lezioni sono istruttive e divertenti, spiegandoti in modo facile e comprensibile anche gli argomenti più difficili.
Mi ha aiutato molto e lo consiglio vivamente!

I started working with Luca from 6th grade and from then he always supported me
and makes math easier for me because of his understanding
and his always calm and fun attitude that doesn't interfere with the learning.

Abbiamo conosciuto Luca 4 anni fa e ne apprezziamo la preparazione e la professionalità unite a gentilezza e disponibilità eccezionali. Luca ha supportato i nostri due figli adolescenti in veste di tutor per le materie: matematica, fisica e biologia (in inglese, Standard Level e High Level) per la preparazione al diploma di maturità IB e, precedentemente, per gli esami IGCSE.

Luca è un professore molto in gamba. Sia simpatico che concentrato durante tutta la durata della lezione.
Riesce sempre a spiegare bene e a farmi capire i metodi migliori per risolvere vari problemi.
È ormai da più di tre anni che continuò a fare lezioni con Luca e mi trovo veramente bene!
