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

Since Italian isn't taught in my child's school in Portsmouth, can a tutor cover the entire GCSE or A-Level syllabus?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced in guiding students through the full curriculum for major exam boards. They can act as your child’s primary teacher for the subject, covering all the topics, grammar, and exam techniques needed to achieve a great result.
My child is hoping to study languages at the University of Portsmouth. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our Italian tutors have experience helping students prepare for university. They can help your child hone their personal statement, practise for interviews, and build the subject knowledge that will make their application shine.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our 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 do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their teaching style and how they can help your child with their specific goals.
How much does an online Italian tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child has lost confidence in their language ability. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, they help rebuild that self-belief step by step.
How do the online lessons work?

How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during school holidays or in the run-up to exams, depending on your child's needs.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else, like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academics like Italian, Maths, and English, your child can connect with expert tutors for music, coding, art, and much more. It's a great way for them to explore a hobby or develop a new talent.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can chat with the tutor through our secure messaging system to get feedback and updates on how your child is getting on. Many tutors also provide session notes to help you see what they've been working on.
How do the online lessons work?
No, there are no long-term commitments or contracts. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your chosen tutor. It's designed to be completely flexible to fit your family's needs.
