Arianna M.
Private tutor in Uppsala, Sweden
Education
I have a PhD in Physics and Applied Mathematics from the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. Focus of my project was modeling and understanding the glacial cycles using mathematical models. During my PhD, I have collaborated with researchers in Applied Mathematics from different research groups in Europe. I studied in Italy, where I graduated full marks with honours in Physics from La Sapienza, University of Rome.
Experience
I worked as a Math and Physics tutor while studying Physics in Italy. I have helped both high schools and college students. During my PhD at Copenhagen University, I was teaching assistant in 3 Full Master's Degree courses. I have learnt a lot from my experience as a tutor. I believe it is only when you are able to explain difficult concepts in a clear and simple way, that you can consider yourself a good teacher! I did not have a good math teacher while I was in high school. I recall almost hating doing my Math homework! Luckily, after taking a few math classes with a really good tutor, I changed my mind completely. And here I am... :-) Class description: depending on the student's background and attitudes, I usually prepare some material (theory, exercises, examples, etc...) that the student can use to strengthen their skills. Last but not least, as a native Italian speaker with an interest in languages, I have helped some friends learning Italian, while they were helping me learning their native language. The "typical class" consists of half an hour grammar, followed by half an hour conversation.

Hobbies
I like writing (so much that I have written two novels), I enjoy dancing tango (currently at an intermediate level), I have a strong passion for theatre (I used to play in a theatre company), and I occasionally go sailing. I go running, swimming, and I am currently taking Pilates teacher training courses. I read mostly about philosophy and psicology.
