Giulia

I am an Academic and Application Adviser specialising in Economics, with particular expertise in supporting applications to read Economics and/or Management at Oxbridge and other highly competitive UK universities.

I read Economics at the University of Cambridge, where I developed a highly structured approach to quantitative analysis, economic reasoning, and formal argument. I graduated with a II.i and wrote my dissertation on The Direct and Indirect Effects of Female Education on Economic Development. Prior to this, I achieved an A* in Mathematics, an A in Further Mathematics, and A*s in Physics and French at A Level, as well as an A in Italian at AS Level. I later completed a Master’s in Management at London Business School, further refining my analytical and strategic perspectives, this time applied to business, and graduated with a 3.8/4.0 GPA.

Alongside my academic advisory work, I currently work as a Growth Associate at BridgeWise, an AI-driven investment intelligence platform, contributing to European expansion initiatives across financial institutions. Previously, I was an Associate at ResFamiliaris LLP, supporting ultra-high-net-worth families in the oversight of multi-asset portfolios across public and private markets. Earlier roles at Rothschild & Co and the multi-family office Finandir provided further exposure to investment strategy and capital allocation. I began my professional career at Chanel in Paris and Milan, where discretion, precision, and exacting standards were non-negotiable.

In parallel, I tutor Mathematics at 11+, 13+, and 16+ level, as well as GCSE, A Level, and IB (with a particular focus on Pure Mathematics and Statistics). I also teach GCSE, A Level, and IB Economics and Business. I support students preparing competitive applications in Economics and/or Management, including personal statement development and interview preparation. I do not offer preparation for Oxbridge Mathematics; my application advisory work is focused specifically on Economics and related disciplines.

Fluent in English, Italian, and French, I am comfortable working with both UK-based and international families.

My approach is structured and rigorous, combined with a strong awareness of the motivations and psychological dynamics that underpin sustained academic performance. I have a particular interest in how psychology can be applied to learning, especially in building confidence, focus, and resilient study habits. I place strong emphasis on clarity of thought, disciplined method, and intellectual independence. Rather than focusing solely on short-term exam technique, I aim to cultivate durable analytical confidence, enabling students to articulate arguments with precision and to approach unfamiliar problems with composure.

Alongside my academic and advisory work, I currently operate in an entrepreneurial capacity with BridgeWise, an AI-driven investment intelligence platform. My role focuses on strategic growth initiatives across UK and European banks, brokers, wealth managers and digital investment platforms, working at the intersection of finance, WealthTech and artificial intelligence. The structure of my work is entrepreneurial in nature, which allows me a high degree of autonomy over my schedule while maintaining rigorous professional engagement.

This flexibility enables me to commit consistently and long-term to my application advisory and tutoring work. I am deliberate about maintaining a balanced professional structure that allows me to give students sustained attention and follow their academic development.

When I am not tutoring or engaging in advisory activities, I continue to invest in professional and academic development. I am currently completing the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) and deepening my understanding of artificial intelligence through the Stanford Online × DeepLearning.AI Machine Learning programme led by Andrew Ng. I value ongoing intellectual discipline and enjoy exploring how quantitative theory translates into real-world decision-making.

Over the next few years, I intend to continue developing my tutoring, academic and application advisory services, particularly in supporting students pursuing Economics and Management at competitive universities. I see this work as a long-term commitment and aim to work with a focused cohort of highly motivated students each year, maintaining a high standard of rigour and personal attention.

Beyond my professional and academic spheres, I maintain a broad range of personal interests. I have a dynamic nature, and this is reflected in my active lifestyle which includes tennis, reformer pilates, skiing and sailing. I have a strong affinity for foreign languages and am fluent in English, Italian and French, with intermediate knowledge of Spanish and beginner’s knowledge of Portuguese, Russian and Mandarin. I also enjoy playing the piano and regularly visit art galleries and fashion exhibitions. Philanthropic initiatives are rewarding for me, and I have previously taught Maths to talented primary school pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.
