“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” This quote from famous physicist Albert Einstein represents my relationship with maths.

Even though I have studied maths with the Italian specification with excellent results, I decided to take maths, physics and English as a second language IGCSEs, to get a wider range of knowledge. During the last year I have studied A level maths, and I can say that in the mocks that my school organized, I have constantly achieved grades higher than 85%.
Furthermore, even though I am year 12, I already finished my maths A level so that I could focus on the more complex subject of “further maths” next year.

I take pleasure in assisting my peers and younger people to comprehend topics that they find difficult to understand and master. I find teaching younger children particularly rewarding as they can potentially remember and find useful what I have told them for the rest of their lives.

I developed with Pygame a videogame for children and then explained how I did so after they played it, making their experience more fun and memorable, so that my teachings stuck in their head.

Moreover, I usually spend a lot of my time helping my peers if they have any difficulty with maths topics. Because of this, I can also relate to them and use more engaging and catchier examples. For instance, I helped my classmates better understand differentiation from first principles and Euclidean Geometry when they found it difficult with the teacher’s explanation. In addition, I always found important keeping my friends dedicated and motivated in school by helping develop a consistent studying habit.
