Why Italian Can Give Your Child a Competitive Edge
Learning Italian is about so much more than holidays; it's a skill that demonstrates dedication, cultural awareness, and a strong academic mind. For a child hoping to study an arts or humanities course at a competitive university like Durham or York, having a less common language like Italian on their application can make them stand out. It shows they can think differently and have pursued their own interests. Tutors can help them move beyond just grammar rules to analysing Italian literature or discussing classic cinema – the kind of knowledge that brings a personal statement to life.

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. Furthermore, I have recently completed a nine month placement in central France teaching English to primary school children aged 4-11,...

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 Ripon doesn't offer Italian. Can a tutor help them achieve a GCSE or A-Level?
Absolutely. Many students use Tutorful to study subjects not available at their school. Our expert Italian tutors are experienced in the national curriculum and can provide structured lessons to cover the entire GCSE or A-Level syllabus, ensuring your child is fully prepared for their exams.
We're hoping for a place at a top university like Durham or York. Can an Italian tutor help strengthen my child's application?
Yes, they can. A great tutor can help your child develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of Italian culture, literature, and history. This can be invaluable for writing a compelling personal statement and preparing for interviews, helping them demonstrate a genuine passion that impresses admissions tutors.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
What happens if we don't click with the 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to join Tutorful.
How much do online Italian tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems, and a document sharing feature. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Italian?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors use conversation-based activities to build fluency and confidence, which is often the biggest hurdle for language learners.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! While we have experts for core subjects like Maths and English, your child can also learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even take up a new hobby. There's a tutor for almost anything they want to learn.
What qualifications do your Italian tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are qualified teachers, university academics, or native speakers with degrees in Italian. You can view each tutor's specific qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect match for your child.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is most effective for maintaining focus and making good progress. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor to see what works best for your child.
How does the online classroom work?
We generally recommend one session a week to build momentum and ensure consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be adjusted based on your child's goals, whether they're preparing for an exam or learning for fun.
