Personalised Italian Lessons, Designed for Your Child
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding how they learn best, our tutors can adapt their methods, whether that's using visual aids to explain tricky grammar points or focusing on conversation to build fluency. We handpick the very best, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, expert hands. Every lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they need help preparing for a GCSE speaking exam, the session will focus on that. If they simply want to explore their love for Italian culture and language, their tutor can create a plan just for them. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding time for extra lessons can be tricky. Online tutoring fits around your family's schedule, so there's no travel involved – your child can learn from your home in Alnwick, Morpeth, or anywhere else. It’s a simple, flexible way to give your child the support they need to succeed.

Dario D
I am so happy to have found Dario! There are some people in the world who are born to teach and make learning fun, Dario is absolutely one of them. I am greatly enjoying my lessons and my Italian partner can see the progress I have made already. Within just a few lessons, I have managed to build up my vocabulary and confidence! Dario is encouraging and friendly, and we always have a good laugh which makes my lessons memorable. He quickly assessed my current level and has taken the time to tailor lessons to this, making sure that I am challenged, but not overwhelmed. I cannot recommend language lessons with Dario enough! I am very grateful for his support and look forward to many more hours learning Italian with him. If you decide to book with Dario, you won’t be disappointed!

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 hopes to apply to Durham or Newcastle University. Can a tutor help with their UCAS application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with personal statements and interview preparation. Having a strong grasp of a language like Italian can be a real asset, and a tutor can help your child articulate their skills and passion effectively on their application.
Can we get help with GCSE or A-Level Italian even if my child's school in Northumberland doesn't offer it?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can provide comprehensive support for the entire GCSE or A-Level curriculum, covering all exam boards. They can act as your child's primary teacher for the subject, guiding them through the material and preparing them for their exams.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience, price, and availability. We recommend watching their introductory videos and reading reviews from other parents. You can also send messages to tutors before booking to ensure they are a great fit for your child's learning style and goals.
What happens 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 our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check and provide professional references. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does online Italian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking Italian?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation-based activities and provide instant, gentle feedback to help build fluency and confidence.
We live in a rural part of Northumberland with slower internet. Is online tutoring still possible?
Our online classroom is designed to work well on most standard internet connections. It includes features like video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. We recommend a stable connection for the best experience, but many families in rural areas use our platform successfully.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or could my child learn something different like the guitar or coding?
It's for everything! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have expert tutors for music, coding, languages, and professional skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How does the online classroom work?
It's a simple, all-in-one system. You and your child will have a video call with the tutor, and you can both use the interactive whiteboard to draw diagrams, write notes, and share documents. All lessons are recorded, so your child can re-watch them anytime.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking Italian?
You can start looking straight away. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. It’s a quick and easy way to get the support your child needs.
