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. I would highly recommend her!

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 aiming for a top London university like UCL or King's. Can a tutor help their application stand out with Italian?
Absolutely. A top grade in a less common but respected A-Level like Italian can make a UCAS application truly memorable. An experienced tutor can help your child achieve the grade that proves their academic ability, while also helping them articulate their passion for the subject in their personal statement, showing universities they are a dedicated and interesting candidate.
With the high academic standards of schools in the Dulwich and Forest Hill area, how can I be sure a tutor is up to the mark?
We have a rigorous selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, and subject matter experts with degrees from top universities. You can view their full profiles, including experience and qualifications, to find the perfect match to support your child's ambitions.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
It's a great question. You can start by using our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as teaching the GCSE or A-Level curriculum. We recommend watching their introduction videos and reading reviews from other parents. It's often a good idea to message a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have a 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?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive environment where your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help your child overcome learning barriers and start to believe in their own ability.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a background check before they can teach on our platform, giving you complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is effective for steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new skill like coding, or explore a creative hobby, we have expert tutors who can help them pursue their interests.
How can I track my child's progress?
The best way is to have an open conversation with the tutor. They can provide regular feedback on the topics you've covered, highlight areas of improvement, and discuss the plan for upcoming lessons. This partnership ensures you're always kept in the loop.
How does online tutoring work?
