Annalisa Ratti

Empathetic and articulate professional with over ten years' experience building trusted, one-to-one relationships with clients across the UK, Europe and North America. Skilled at listening closely, keeping people motivated, and turning uncertain goals into clear, workable plans.

This is grounded in direct experience of student life too: tutoring teenagers through school exams, leading a youth group as a volunteer scout leader, and - a few years later - moving to the UK alone as a mature student to complete an MA. Adapting to a new academic system, a new language register and a new city with no induction support was tough, and it built a real, first-hand understanding of how isolating and daunting that kind of transition can feel, especially for anyone starting somewhere new for the first time.

Confident communicator in English, Italian and French, with a genuine interest in helping students through change - building their confidence and giving them the structure to move forward.
Looking to bring this experience as a remote Student Life Coach role, supporting new university students through academic stress, self-belief and lasting study habits.
