For international families making Tuscany home
Choosing a school is only part of the decision. I help you understand how your child will learn, settle and be supported — with personal guidance in English, before your move and through the first school year.
A family decision, carefully made
You may be relocating from abroad, arranging a second home in Tuscany, or planning an international assignment. You want to make informed choices without spending months trying to connect unfamiliar systems.
My particular focus is the child whose learning, development or adjustment needs a closer look. I help you ask the right questions, compare what schools can actually offer and organise the next steps around your family.
Private services
A defined question, a complete school search, or continued guidance after arrival. Scope, fees and availability are agreed in a personal proposal.
01 · Clarity before you commit
A ninety-minute consultation in English, with agreed documents reviewed in advance. Leave with a written outline of priorities, questions to resolve and the next professionals or services to approach.
Discuss an orientation session →02 · A considered school choice
A tailored programme to compare school options against your child's needs, prepare school conversations and support the enrolment process. Guidance can begin while you are still abroad.
Explore school search in Tuscany →03 · Continuity after arrival
A continuing point of contact through the first school year: reviewing incoming information, preparing meetings and helping you weigh decisions as your child settles. Contact arrangements are agreed from the outset.
Explore ongoing support →Fees are independent of any school, clinic or professional I recommend. I receive no referral commission. Admissions decisions, certifications and public-service timelines remain with the responsible institutions.
A clear process
Share your intended location, timing and the type of help you want. Keep the first email brief and leave out clinical information.
We clarify whether the service fits, then agree scope, fees, communication and any travel. You know what is included before deciding.
We review the agreed documents, prepare questions for schools and services, and turn their answers into practical next steps.
If you choose ongoing support, we return to the plan as school starts and new information emerges.
Meet your adviser
I am a registered Terapista della Neuro e Psicomotricità dell'Età Evolutiva (TNPEE), with more than fifteen years of work alongside children, families and schools. I direct Centro Evoluzione Bambino in Livorno and teach in Italy and internationally. Through my teaching work with ICDL, I train students in the DIR® model in the United States and around the world.
My contribution is a developmental perspective on educational decisions: understanding the information in front of you, the questions still unanswered, and what needs to be clarified with the school or specialist.
Professional registration no. 8 · TSRM PSTRP, Pisa · Livorno · Grosseto.
Visit Centro Evoluzione Bambino
Within this service, I provide educational guidance and family support. I do not issue diagnoses or certifications, provide legal representation, or guarantee school admission.
If your child needs assessment or therapy, I help identify the appropriate services. Separate technical consultancy with your lawyer can be discussed within my professional competence.
Based in Livorno. In-person work across Tuscany, including Florence, Pisa, Lucca and the coast. Travel elsewhere in Italy or Europe can be agreed in advance.
Before your move
What to compare across international, bilingual and Italian schools — and the questions to ask before applying.
Read the school search guide →How to prepare school conversations and organise existing reports without assuming that support transfers automatically.
Read the learning support guide →What a private family adviser can help with during the first school year, and how an ongoing arrangement is defined.

If you are supporting a family's move to Tuscany, I can discuss the educational part with you and the parents: initial orientation, school conversations or continued support after arrival.
The scope of any introduction, document sharing and communication is agreed with the family. A clearly defined engagement can be arranged with the family or, where agreed, a sponsoring employer.
Make a professional enquiry →Yes. Initial conversations and document review can take place online. Starting before you commit to a school lets us identify the questions that matter to your family.
No. You may need help choosing a school or understanding an adjustment concern without an established diagnosis. If assessment is needed, it belongs with the appropriate qualified service.
No. Schools decide admissions, and the competent services determine certification requirements. My role is to help you clarify the options, prepare and make informed decisions.
I provide a personal proposal after understanding your priorities. The proposal sets out the work, fees, contact arrangements and any agreed travel. Prices are not published because the scope varies between families.
Please do not include reports or a child's identifying or clinical information in the first email. We first agree the purpose, necessary information and appropriate sharing method.
Your family's next chapter
You do not need to have every detail settled. Tell me where you are considering living, when you plan to move and whether you need orientation, a school search or ongoing support.
I read enquiries personally and aim to reply within two working days. If the service fits your situation, I will suggest the next step and a tailored proposal.
