Choosing a less common language like Italian shows intellectual curiosity and a willingness to step outside the box – qualities that Russell Group universities really value. It's not just about learning vocabulary; it's about understanding a different culture, analysing texts, and constructing complex arguments. These are the exact skills your child will need for any demanding degree course, making their Italian qualification a brilliant way to showcase their unique academic strengths.

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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried that Italian looks 'soft' on an application for a top university. How can a tutor help?
That's a common concern, but top universities are most interested in excellent grades. A tutor's main goal is to help your child achieve the highest grade possible. Excelling in a less common language like Italian actually shows curiosity and a unique academic interest, which can help an application stand out from the crowd.
We live in Gillingham where the grammar school system is very competitive. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students build the strong academic foundations and confidence needed to thrive in competitive environments like the Medway grammar school system. They can focus on the specific skills and subject knowledge your child needs to feel prepared and perform at their best.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality match for your child.
What if we don't click with the first Italian tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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 qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online Italian tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and a space to upload documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space allows your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to understand topics they previously found tricky, their confidence grows naturally.
How often should my child have lessons?
It's completely flexible and up to you. Most families find a weekly lesson works well to build momentum, but you can arrange sessions as often as you need. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Italian?
While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get into coding, or practise a new instrument, we can help.
How can I keep track of my child's progress?
Our platform makes it easy to stay in touch with your child's tutor. You can send messages at any time to ask for updates, and tutors are always happy to share feedback on how your child is getting on after their lessons.
How do the online lessons actually work?
It's very simple. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. It's also helpful if they think about any specific topics or questions they'd like to cover in their first session.
