Dedicated Italian tutor
I am a determined person with an always positive attitude towards working. I enjoy working with other people as well as helping them to achieve their goals- for example, I always peer assess my colleagues essays before they submit them. I am seriously thinking about embarking upon a masters in either TESOL or archives and records management before qualifying to become either a teacher of English to foreign speakers or an archivist- both careers interest me greatly.

Paola has been helping me improve my intermediate Italian skills for university, and she has been invaluable! She explains things in a very clear way and has access to many helpful resources and practice tests. She has a very kind and patient manner, and picks up on all my mistake in a very constructive way.

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!

Louisa T
I’ve been learning Italian with Louisa and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better tutor. She’s patient, enthusiastic, and incredibly good at tailoring lessons to my pace and interests. Whether we’re focusing on travel phrases, grammar, or pronunciation, Louisa always makes the sessions engaging and practical.
She has a real gift for explaining things clearly, and her encouragement makes even the trickier parts of the language feel achievable. I especially appreciate how she brings Italian culture into the lessons—it makes learning so much more enjoyable and meaningful.
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!

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study Modern Languages at the University of York. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications. They can help your child prepare for interviews, refine their personal statement, and build the subject knowledge needed to create a compelling application for competitive courses at universities like York and Durham.
Since Italian isn't on the curriculum in York, can a tutor build a full learning plan towards GCSE and A-Level?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are experts at creating structured, long-term learning plans that cover the entire curriculum for qualifications like GCSE and A-Level, ensuring your child has all the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that finding the right personality match is essential. 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 online Italian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically start from around £25 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, and there are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and reference-checked before they can join the platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Italian?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use encouragement and positive feedback to help them feel more comfortable and fluent over time.
Can we get help with specific exam techniques for Italian A-Level?
Definitely. Our tutors are very familiar with the requirements of different exam boards. They can help your child understand mark schemes, structure their essays, and practise past papers to ensure they're fully prepared for their exams.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor in just a few minutes. Many of our tutors can offer lessons within a day or two, so your child can start getting the support they need almost immediately.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The most common session length is one hour, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to fit your child's needs and concentration span.
How does online tutoring work?
We offer tutoring in a wide range of subjects and skills, not just for school. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding in Python, or get help with their university degree, you can find an expert tutor to help.
