About

I am a Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) educator with a PGCE in Secondary from Coventry University, alongside a Master's degree in Sport Business Management and a Bachelor's degree in Sport Science from the University of Rome "Foro Italico." My academic and professional background combines education, sport, and business, giving me a strong foundation to teach both PE and Business Studies at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5. Alongside my teaching qualifications, I completed a scholarship-funded programme in Business, Marketing and Management at the European School of Economics in London and gained practical experience as an Operations Manager within the fitness sector. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of core business concepts such as leadership, marketing, human resources, operations, and strategic planning, which I now bring into my teaching practice.

I am currently teaching AQA GCSE Physical Education in an alternative provision setting in London, where I support students with a wide range of needs and backgrounds. This role has developed my ability to simplify complex concepts, differentiate effectively, and build strong, positive relationships that promote engagement, progress, and resilience. I am particularly passionate about Business Studies because it allows students to understand how organisations operate in the real world and develop skills that prepare them for future study, employment, and entrepreneurship.

I am confident in my ability to deliver engaging, exam-focused lessons that connect theory to real-life business practice and inspire students to think critically and ambitiously. My teaching approach is structured, inclusive, and student-centred, with a strong focus on clarity, consistency, and high expectations. I am committed to continuous professional development and to strengthening my subject knowledge and pedagogy in Business Studies through collaboration with experienced colleagues.

I am now actively seeking opportunities to begin my ECT induction where I can contribute my academic background, industry experience, and passion for education to support student achievement at both GCSE and A-Level.
