Virginia R

My name is Virginia, I am a 3rd year Criminology, Policing and Investigation student at Birmingham City University from Italy with a background in foreign languages as well as a singer-songwriter. I have studied and obtained a Diploma di Esame di Stato with an 82/100 in 2019 specialised in Foreign Languages (Italian, English, French and German), following 5 years of high school in the Italian education system, the first 3 of which correspond to the English GCSE and the last 2 of which correspond to the English A-Levels. Throughout my education years I have studied English (with Literature) - (Grade 9/10), French (with Literature) - (Grade 9/10), Italian (with Literature) - (Grade 8/10), German (with Literature) - (Grade 8/10), Philosophy (Grade 8/10), History (Grade 8/10), History of Art (Grade 8/10), Latin (Grade 9/10), Natural Sciences (Grade 7/10), Chemistry (Grade 7/10), Physics (Grade 7/10), Maths (Grade 7/10) and P.E. (Grade 9/10) and although the two above-mentioned education systems differ, I feel confident in tutoring student in the subjects listed in my profile for they were deepened in my studies and because I am aware of the requirements of both for the English education system. I will be providing lessons for any interested student, both in person and online. I am passionate and hard-working, as well as very adaptable and open to new experiences.

Throughout my life I have been tutoring students of different ages and backgrounds in fields such as foreign languages (since 2015) and music (since 2020), following years of study and a High School Diploma in Foreign Languages obtained in Italy at Liceo Classico e Linguistico "Virgilio" (Mantua, Italy) alongside French Language Certification DELF and English Language Certifications IELTS and FCE, and following 7 years of experience in the music field, both as a student and singer and a tutor.

When introduced to a new potential student I usually want to get to know them in order to understand exactly what they are looking for in their requested lessons as well as their current level and goals, so to prepare and structure my sessions and meeting their expectations. In case of foreing languages, I evaluate the students' level and cover grammar and vocabulary before carrying out listening, reading and speaking exercises always going at their pace but at the same time following an academic setting.
