About me

My adventure in education began in the mid-nineties when I was doing a degree in English language literature at St. Andrews University. Initially, my professional interests encompassed language teaching, 1st and 2nd language acquisition, and literacy development. During my childhood, I was slow to start reading and writing, and I did not know why. During the 1980s there was far less information regarding diverse and neurodivergent learners. It was only during my career as a teacher in international schools, that I really began to gain an awareness of how important differentiation is. Having lived and worked in Tanzania, Vietnam, Uae, Saudi Arabia, German,  and Austria. I have gained a wide range of experiences. I then continued to use that knowledge working with dyslexic children here in Austria.  My goal is to help children and their parents to make desired changes using a flexible yet structured approach.

Education

I am a truly cosmopolitan citizen… Having been born in Argentina, of an Italian father and an Austrian mother. I was raised between South America, the USA, and Austria, I subsequently obtained a degree from The University Of St. Andrews with a  Masters in English Language and Literature. I also obtained a PGCE from the University of Sunderland with a specialization in multilingual learners. I am a also a trained dyslexia specialist and member of the Austrian Dyslexia Association (Oesterreichische Legasthenie Verband).

Work experience

I started my career working at a bilingual school project in Vienna Austria. The purpose of this school project was to approach teaching in an integrated approach. During this integrated approach certain subjects were taught in English. I then subsequently started working at the Vienna International School where I lead  a class of multilingual learners for three years. My adventures in education and literacy then continued and lead my to adventures in Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Vietnam, and the UAE.

How I work

The best way to address learning is to take a course of customized sessions from a qualified and experienced educational specialist. Every learner’s needs are unique and many aspects of their environment need to be taken into consideration when designing an individualized program. As a rule, each program is set up following consultations with parents and where necessary with teachers, and is based on observations, screening and identified goals for improvement. Student progress is evaluated continuously.
