Passionate English PhD Student with 10+ Experience as Tutor - English tutor with Federica

I was Federica Marschepa’s tutor for each of the three years of her degree programme at St Mary's University, teaching her on different courses each time. I can confirm that Federica is a very bright person who has both a strong work ethic and the initiative to develop her studies beyond the boundaries of the seminar room. Federica spoke well and intelligently in each of her classes and her tutorials. She was always well prepared and performed well within class discussions and debates.

Federica’s academic work developed consistently throughout the time that I taught her. She was always ready to discuss the progression of her work. In level six (third year) her work revealed a sound grasp of study and research skills, offering very well-structured arguments. Her writing skills and general literacy are of an excellent standard.

Overall teaching Federica was a stimulating experience as she responded intelligently and enthusiastically to discussion of the material that she was studying. She has a very pleasant personality and is a reliable and very honest person. I have no hesitation in recommending her to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information.

Federica Mascherpa completed her BA degree at St Mary’s University in July 2018. She graduated with a very high First Class pass.

Federica’s English programme included modules in both Language and Literature. She performed excellently in both disciplines.

Of Italian origin, Federica is fluent in English – and a host of other languages, including French and German. She is also very well read and a committed scholar: she is currently working towards a PhD in English Literature.
Federica is reliable, personable and attentive to the needs of others. She is also an excellent and patient communicator. Combined with her evident depth and breadth of knowledge, these qualities will make her a great teacher.

I am happy to recommend her to you.
