Experience

You are now entering the domain of Mr Mario. Inside, you will find some of the fruits of eight years of teaching English and Personal Development and Health, flavoured by my past life as a martial arts instructor at a family-based club. I draw on practical knowledge, countless trials and errors, educational neuroscience principles, and a sprinkle of Steiner and Montessori-inspired pedagogy.

Teaching style

I use a phased approach to teaching, which begins with direct instruction, then transitions into experiential and project-based learning once students have developed foundational skills and adequate content knowledge.

My own education history

- Bachelor of Education - Head of English - Head of PDHPE - Currently studying Master's of Education

Additional biographical information

I began teaching after becoming fascinated with the process and philosophy of lesson design and how to structure a learning program to work towards optimal development. I have a keen interest in educational neuroscience and intend to pursue a PhD in this area.
