background

Academia as an asset

Passionate teacher and curious student. 📚 The academic side isn't today's focus, but it's the foundation on which I build statistical rigor, abstract thinking and the ability to teach anything to anyone. 🧑‍🏫

teaching

From the IB classroom to university, to educational publishing. One thread runs through it: making sense of what looks hard. From there, mentoring is a short step.

  1. IB / MYP

    IB Mathematics teacher at Dubai International School Al Barsha and Andersen International School of Milan.

  2. Milano-Bicocca

    University instructor of statistics: probability, inference, models.

  3. GCAS ↗

    Science strand, Logic course. Seminars and CPD. Research fellow.

  4. Zanichelli

    Content creator for math publishing: inquiry-based / IBSE teaching labs.

  5. jimmymentoring ↗

    One-to-many teaching becomes one-to-one mentoring: analyzing and tracking people's progress to help them reach their goals.
