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.

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's school in Derby doesn't offer Italian GCSE. Can a tutor help them achieve this qualification?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can create a structured learning plan to cover the entire GCSE curriculum, helping your child prepare to sit the exam as a private candidate. They provide the expert subject knowledge that's missing from school.
We're hoping my child can study languages at university. Will tutoring in Derby help them stand out?
Yes, it can make a real difference. Pursuing a subject like Italian outside of the main school curriculum demonstrates passion, initiative, and dedication – qualities that are highly valued by university admissions teams. It shows your child is a proactive and engaged learner.
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 each tutor's experience. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified before they can teach on the platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online Italian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
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 gentle correction to build fluency and help your child feel comfortable holding a conversation.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools they'll need, including an interactive whiteboard.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are an hour long, and many parents find that one session a week works well. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
What if my child is a complete beginner?
That's no problem at all! Many of our tutors specialise in teaching beginners. They can start with the very basics, like pronunciation and simple greetings, and build your child's knowledge and confidence from the ground up at a pace that feels comfortable for them.
Can a tutor help with understanding Italian culture as well as the language?
Definitely. A great tutor brings the language to life by sharing insights into Italian culture, from food and traditions to history and cinema. This makes learning more engaging and gives your child a much richer understanding of the subject.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Italian?
While we help thousands of children with academic subjects like Italian, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or practise public speaking, we can help.
