Gabriele C
Gabriele is an amazing tutor.
I have been studying Italian with him for the last 6 months and I have learnt so much. My speaking, writing and grammar has improved and he always ensures he explains things in detail.
Every lesson is very thorough and well planned, and we go through things step by step, to ensure I understand the vocabulary and the conjugation of words.
When Gabriele notices that I don’t understand something, we will revise it together until I get it correct. Not only are we practising vocabulary and grammar, but also real life scenarios and conversational pieces which I will use.
Overall Gabriele has been an exceptional tutor and I would recommend anyone to book with Gabriele!

Thanks to Louisa, I’m feeling more confident every week and actually looking forward to using my Italian on my upcoming trip. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Italian in a relaxed, friendly, and effective way. Grazie mille, Louisa!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried they're at a disadvantage applying to Glasgow or Edinburgh from Dumfries. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. A specialist Italian tutor can help your child build a deep, impressive understanding of the language and culture that makes their university application shine. They can focus on the specific skills that will stand out to admissions tutors for competitive arts and humanities courses.
Are there really specialist Italian tutors available for us in Dumfries?
Yes. Because our lessons are online, your family has access to the UK's best Italian tutors, regardless of where you live. This opens up a huge range of expertise in language, literature, and exam preparation that might not be available locally in Dumfries.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check qualifications on each tutor's profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it feels like the right fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online Italian tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on every tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. It has video chat, a shared whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked, and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Definitely. The one-to-one environment is a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. This personal support and encouragement is often the key to helping them feel more confident in their abilities.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with hobbies too?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core subjects like Italian, Maths, and English, your child can find a tutor for music lessons like guitar or piano, learn to code, or even get help with public speaking.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Because the lessons are one-to-one, they get to know your child's strengths and weaknesses very well and can keep you updated on how they're improving.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
You can start looking for a tutor right away. Many of our tutors have immediate availability, so you could even have your first lesson booked for this week. Simply find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange your first session.
