Tutor Information
About
I am postdoctoral researcher at the University of Naples and guest affiliated at Amsterdam University. I am trained as a Philosopher (BA; MA, Pisa University), Historian of Science (MPhil, Cambridge University) and Historian (PhD, Cambridge University). I completed my PhD in autumn 2017 and held two postdoctoral positions since then, at the British School at Rome (linked to the British Academy) in Rome and the Scaliger Institute in Leiden (NL). I just moved to Paris to improve my French and write my monograph and several articles. I am passionate about the history of science, but also the history of economic thought and political economy, especially at the time of the Enlightenment and the Napoleonic period. I am also curious about museums and collections, and about practices of collecting more generally. I have lectured at conferences in the UK, US and Europe, and gained some university teaching experience in Cambridge UK (at a university level) as well as at school-level in Italy (private lessons). I live with my partner with whom I speak four languages (English, Italian, Portuguese and French). I can offer classes in Italian (academic and conversational), English (academic and conversational) and help you revise your essays (A levels, but also university level) in subjects such as history and philosophy in order to improve your arguments and writing style. My rate depends on the kind of service you need (20 to 40 USD p.h. with discount above a certain number of classes).
