About Francesca
My name is Francesca, I'm a first-year student at the University of Edinburgh studying Biomedical Sciences, and am looking to help students not only prepare for exams but also find a sense of satisfaction from their studies. As the daughter of a Germano-Italian couple, and as an American studying in a bilingual school in Paris (now living in Edinburgh), I see internationality as a bridge to efficiency – and the best way to connect with another!

Having completed the rigorous 2-year course of the IB (History, Bio and Chem HL) I can now reflect on my experience and am able to share insight on how to achieve the best. The skills and experiences I have developed with the diploma are easily transferable to any other high school level syllabus.
Teaching has always been a passion of mine as I always find myself "learning out loud". That is learning and concretizing knowledge through easy communication and dialogue. I believe that every student is an "A student". In fact, as Michaelangelo says "every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it" - teaching should be a mirroring of this mentality!

Recently, Fran assisted me with revising for my 2nd year Linguistic course. Despite being an undergraduate in Biomedical Sciences, Fran's general knowledge and understanding of my subject was invaluable. Alongside her own exams, she spent time helping me recall flashcards, structuring short essays, and developing my understanding of key concepts in Linguistics. Fran is an extremely caring individual and this resonated in the countless hours she invested in my revision. She is patient and considerate, but also pushed me to recall and retain all the information I set out to. At times where I felt frustrated with the revision and wanted to give up, Fran consistently encouraged me to keep going. Her enthusiasm for my subject and the questions she asked me about Linguistics in general helped me rediscover my love and passion for the subject, despite the high pressure environment exams can create. I felt more confident going into this exam than ever before, and I would recommend Fran as an academic tutor without hesitation (she also makes a banging cuppa tea).
Francesca was one of my students in IB Diploma Biology, and graduated a year ago. She was exceptional in putting time and effort into her learning, even more amazing was Francesca's ability to help others. She is patient and takes the time to listen to the needs of others, then she is able to find a way to best assist; Francesca will continue until she knows the other person truly understands.
Francesca has also been kind enough to come back and talk to my current class of students. She has given them great tips on study skills, biology, and how to improve their internal assessments. The advice she gives is useful and important. She also has a great professional manner with the class, and is attentive to their concerns.
I would strongly recommend Francesca to tutor any of my students, in subject matter and in study skills.View more recommendations
