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!

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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Durham University. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications, including personal statements and interview preparation. You can find tutors who are graduates of top universities themselves and can offer valuable insight into what admissions teams for competitive humanities courses are looking for.
We live in a rural part of County Durham where specialist teachers are hard to find. Is online tutoring a good solution?
Yes, it’s the perfect solution. Online tutoring removes geographical barriers, giving your child access to the best Italian tutors across the UK, no matter where you live in County Durham. You're no longer limited to the teachers available locally.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Italian tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or could my child learn something else, like the guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with academic goals in subjects like Italian, Maths, or English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from playing the guitar and singing to coding and public speaking.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. With over 4,100+ reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident in your choice. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
How much does an online Italian tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Italian?
A one-to-one setting is a safe space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors use encouragement and positive feedback to build their self-belief, which is often the key to making real progress.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Most students have one session per week, but this is completely flexible and can be adapted to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What happens in a typical online Italian lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child! It might involve working through tricky grammar points, practising conversational skills, analysing Italian literature, or preparing for an exam. The tutor will use our interactive online classroom, which has features like a whiteboard and document sharing.
My child has never had online tutoring before. What technology do we need?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Italian?
Definitely. Our tutors love working with students at all levels, from complete beginners to those studying for A-Levels and beyond. A tutor can help your child build a strong foundation and develop a love for the language right from the start.
