My background
I have spent more than 20 years supporting international students on their journey into UK education. Over this time, I’ve helped learners with visas, academic pathways, English language requirements, and university admissions – always with a focus on clarity, accuracy, and long-term success.
I bring a truly international perspective to my work.
With Swiss–Italian roots and a career that spans multiple countries, I understand the cultural, academic, and emotional challenges students face when preparing to study abroad. Today, I am based in Cambridge, where I run World Study Solutions – an education consultancy dedicated to helping students from all over the world access high-quality English language programmes, foundation degrees, and university pathways.
My work has taken me across a wide range of institutions and student needs, and I’ve developed a strong understanding of what universities expect, what visa officers look for, and how students can prepare themselves academically and practically.
My goal is simple: to help you avoid confusion, gain confidence, and take the next steps with complete clarity – whether you’re just starting to plan your studies or are already deep in the process.
Where I'm based
With Swiss–Italian roots and now based in Cambridge, I run World Study Solutions, supporting students from all over the world. From here, I help learners navigate their academic pathways, prepare for England, and feel confident about studying in the UK.
