Paola has been helping me improve my intermediate Italian skills for university, and she has been invaluable! She explains things in a very clear way and has access to many helpful resources and practice tests. She has a very kind and patient manner, and picks up on all my mistake in a very constructive way. I would highly recommend her!

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 St Ives doesn't offer Italian GCSE. Can a tutor help them achieve this qualification?

Yes, absolutely. Many students use our tutors to study for a qualification that isn't available at their school. An experienced tutor can guide your child through the entire GCSE or A-Level curriculum and help you with the logistics of entering as a private candidate at an exam centre.

We're looking at Penwith College for A-Levels. Will learning Italian now help with their application?

Definitely. Having a unique skill like Italian on a college or UCAS application can really make a student stand out. It demonstrates commitment, curiosity, and a willingness to learn outside the standard curriculum, which is very impressive to admissions tutors.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Italian tutor?

We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's 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 view each tutor's profile, watch their video, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will look forward to learning with.

How much do online Italian tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in speaking a new language?

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 positive feedback and engaging conversation to help them feel more comfortable and fluent over time.

How do online lessons actually 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. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond academic support for things like Maths or English, you can find expert tutors to help your child learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even master public speaking.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most of our students have one hour-long lesson per week, as this consistency really helps with progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor. You can arrange lessons for whenever suits your family best.

How can I track my child's progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss their development. It's a partnership, and we encourage open communication.

How do online lessons actually work?

All you need is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! There's no special software to download.
