About Me

Who am I?

Hi, I am Roberta! I love travelling, and I am passionate about languages and different cultures. I have lived in seven countries between Europe, Africa, and East Asia, and I am fluent in five languages (including Simplified and Traditional Mandarin). Back in Italy, I studied Languages, and during my time abroad I studied in the US at Cornell University (Hospitality and Financial Management) and Colorado State University (MBA Spring 22), and I studied at the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan.

Learning a new language

Learning a new language is a beautiful journey, and I am here to let you make the most of it! As I have learned different languages myself, I know what it feels like to learn a language for the first time. So, while we will have lots of fun together, I will share great tips for you to start to think in Italian or Spanish and understand grammar rules that do not exist in English.

Study at the University

Starting an academic journey is not always easy. We might come from abroad and we are trying to adapt to a different educational system, we have not studied for years or some subject of our course is not totally clear. Learning together how to write academic papers, solve questionnaires, and similar things is not always easy. So why should we not try the best way to make it right together?

Education

Bacherol Degree in Languages, Archeology, History and Art (University of Palermo, Italy)
Master in Business Administration (Colorado State University, US)
Chinese Mandarin - traditional & simplified (Chinese Culture University, Taipei, Taiwan)
Certificate in Hospitality and Finance Management (Cornell University, Ithaca, US)

Christian
Planning on studying law? Want to know more about how the law works? Want to know how to write like a lawyer? Then this class is for you!
Hello! My name is Christian and I am a qualified solicitor back in my home country of New Zealand.I've recently moved to London and before I embark on my next professional adventure, I thought it might be a nice time to give back some of the knowledge I've collected over my studies and professional experience. I took great satisfaction when I helped my younger brother during his legal studies (and even more so when I admitted him to become a lawyer). I spent many years trying to grasp what the law is, how to write a 'legal opinion', how to write 'like a lawyer' - even how to 'think like a lawyer'. Surprisingly, all thise things are actually quite helpful even if you don't want to become a lawyer. Understanding the law can help you know your rights better, it can help you solve problems more logically, it can help you write more concisely and more persuasively. Anywhere you go or whatever you want to do, somewhere along the line the law will be involved - if ever so slightly. And the best part is, there is always more to learn! Even the finest judges, or the most distinguished King's Counsel don't know everything about the law (although they;d be pretty bloody close). So let me know whether you're studying law and want some help with your studies, whether you want to improve your writing or negotiating skills, whether you want to learn abit more about the law that affects you, or whether you want to know what its' like working as a lawyer. There are no silly questions in my class! (Please note that this class is not and cannot be constituted as 'legal advice', it is for educational purposes only!) Look forward to meeting you all, Christian Oh and if I haven't selected available times that would suit you better, please drop me a line and I'll see what can be arranged.
