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 attends a competitive grammar school in Southend. Can a tutor help their Italian studies count towards a top university application?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child excel in Italian and frame it as a significant strength on their UCAS application. They can help build a portfolio of work, prepare for exams, and articulate how their language skills demonstrate dedication and intellectual curiosity – qualities highly valued by leading universities.
Italian isn't offered at my child's school in Southend. Can a tutor still help them gain a formal qualification?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in guiding students through qualifications like GCSEs and A-Levels as private candidates. They can cover the entire curriculum, help with exam technique, and ensure your child is fully prepared, even without school support.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step towards success.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 much does online Italian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and carry out thorough background checks. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students overcome learning barriers and see what they are truly capable of.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, you have complete flexibility. You can schedule more lessons during exam periods or fewer during holidays, whatever works best for your child.
Do you only offer tutors for academic subjects?
Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, such as learning to play the guitar, coding, or even public speaking.
What qualifications do your Italian tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are qualified teachers, university lecturers, or native speakers with degrees in Italian. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect expert for your child.
