Lorenzo Vantaggiato

Lorenzo earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial and labour economics from Bocconi University and went on to complete a master’s degree in sustainable international development at Brandeis University. His academic background reflects a strong foundation in economic theory, global systems, and ethical reasoning, all of which inform his interdisciplinary teaching approach.

Over the course of his career, Lorenzo has taught extensively within the IGCSE and IB frameworks. With more than 20 years of experience working with both teenagers and adult learners, he has developed a nuanced understanding of how students think, what motivates them, and how to meet them where they are. His classes emphasize inquiry, discussion, and critical thinking, inviting students to ask meaningful questions and develop their own perspectives rather than simply mastering content.

Lorenzo’s teaching is enriched by his parallel career as a trained singer and actor. He regularly appears on television and continues to perform professionally, bringing a unique sense of presence, creativity, and storytelling into his work with students. This background allows him to infuse lessons with energy and clarity, helping students articulate ideas persuasively and engage confidently in dialogue and presentation.

In one-to-one settings, Lorenzo thrives. He custom-builds each course around the student’s interests, academic goals, and learning style, whether preparing for IB assessments, strengthening conceptual foundations, or exploring big ideas across disciplines. He takes learning seriously while keeping it human, dynamic, and deeply engaging—an approach that resonates strongly with Cicero students and families seeking thoughtful, personalized education.
