Personal Statement
Biography
Leon comes from a Languages background and is now doing a Law conversion, with the aim of breaking into that field. He is a lifelong language learner and humanities aficionado and wants to help others find the same joy in what they do.
He studied Russian, Linguistics and History at the University of Padua in Italy, so studying foreign languages in a foreign language (Italian), a sink-or-swim situation which he credits for his tenacious and lively teaching style. He has been in many hard situations and knows from experience how to deal with of them, and more importantly how to avoid them in the first place, fulfilling potential you didn't know you had and keeping mental blocks out of the equation.
Branching out into tutoring Humanities, Arts and more with Latimer was therefore a natural progression for Leon, who specialises in transferable skills, versatility and communication.
