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 is hoping to study humanities at Durham or Newcastle. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications. They can help your child develop their language skills to a high level and articulate their passion for Italian in their personal statement, making them a standout candidate.
Since Italian isn't taught in my child's school in South Shields, can they still work towards a formal qualification?
Yes, they can. Our tutors can help your child prepare for qualifications like GCSE or A-Level Italian as a private candidate. They can guide you through the syllabus, prepare them for exams, and help you find a local centre to sit the papers.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. 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 tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message them for free before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and personality to connect with your child.
How much does an online Italian tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence if they're starting from scratch?
One-to-one attention makes all the difference. A tutor can go at your child’s pace, celebrate small wins, and create a safe space where they feel comfortable asking questions. This personalised support is fantastic for building their self-belief.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academics, your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to public speaking and creative writing. It’s all about helping them pursue their interests.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are an hour long, but you can arrange different lengths directly with your tutor. It's flexible to fit what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, but you can schedule more frequent lessons during busy periods or less frequent ones for general support. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
