Personal Description:

Paolo is a multi-talented Italian artist, renowned as a songwriter, composer, and stage director, with his creative hub in London.

With a music career that began in 1992, Paolo has independently composed and produced solo albums, created captivating soundtracks for theater productions, and penned songs for fellow artists. His unique style, shaped by extensive travels, literary studies, and poetic exploration, earned him the first prize in poetry at the Pirandello Stable Festival in 2012.

Paolo's journey also led him to theater and cinema in 1998. He trained rigorously at drama school and spent several years perfecting his craft in stage directing. Since 2002, he has written and directed a range of plays, including works by Ionesco, Euripides, and Ibsen, performed in various UK venues.

His dedication to education shines through his teaching roles in Italian Literature, Humanities, Music, and Drama. He is currently teaching Humanities in a secondary school in London, where he inspires young minds with his passion for history, culture, and the arts. His educational background includes an MA in Humanities and Arts from the University of Turin, a Diploma in Classical Guitar from Trinity College London, and a recent MA in Archaeology from University College London.

Currently, Paolo is pursuing a PhD at Cardiff University, focusing on the transformation of Paleo-Christian rock-cut tombs and churches across the Northern Mediterranean. His research explores the historical and architectural contexts of these sacred sites, with a special emphasis on regions traversed by Saint Paul during his journeys.

Tutoring Approach:

I firmly believe that anyone can achieve great results and learn anything when they are motivated and inspired. Education often focuses on passing exams, but too often, the joy of learning for its own sake gets overlooked. While I can certainly help students succeed in their exams, my goal is to do so in a way that ignites their curiosity and enthusiasm, encouraging them to continue learning and developing their talents.

Creating a nurturing environment where students feel free to explore their ideas without fear of failure is important to me. This approach helps build their confidence and, ultimately, enables them to excel. I take pride in discovering how each student thinks and tailoring my teaching style to suit their unique way of learning.

Above all, I believe that a good sense of humour and an element of fun go a long way in making the learning experience positive and enjoyable.
