Why Learning Italian Can Make All the Difference
Studying a language like Italian does more than just teach vocabulary; it builds critical thinking and communication skills that top universities really value. Imagine your child confidently discussing Italian literature or culture in a university interview. This unique skill can set their application apart, showing admissions tutors at places like the University of Exeter that they have a genuine curiosity for learning. It's a fantastic subject that opens up future opportunities in everything from international business to the arts.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Shine
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That’s why our tutors take the time to get to know them, their goals, and how they like to learn. Whether they need help grasping tricky grammar points or want to explore Italian cinema, the tutor will adapt their approach to build a supportive partnership. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making the cut, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every online lesson is designed specifically for your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all curriculum, their tutor will focus on the exact areas they need to improve. This could mean practising conversational skills for an oral exam or carefully analysing a piece of Italian poetry. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it’s learning that’s built around them. We know family life in Torquay is busy. Finding the right Italian tutor is simple, and because all lessons are online, you can schedule them at times that suit you and your child. There’s no travel, no stress – just high-quality, one-to-one learning from the comfort of your own home. It’s why over 200,000 students have already found success with us.

Valentina C
Experienced Italian Tutor Italian
I have taught Italian for over twenty years to adults and children, individuals and groups, privately as well as in educational and corporate settings, from Beginner level to Conversation. I have also worked as a translator from English into Italian and from Italian into English. I have studied many languages, including Spanish, German, Arabic, Russian, Latin and Ancient Greek, as well as linguistics. This has helped me to gain an understanding of how languages work and it has sparked a deep interest in etymology. I find it fascinating to discover how much Latin is still alive in English words...

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.

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 worried about their university application to Exeter. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications. They can help your child develop their Italian skills to a high level, making their personal statement stand out, and even prepare them for potential interviews.
The local grammar schools in Torquay don't offer Italian A-Level. Can a tutor help my child achieve this qualification?
Yes, this is a common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can provide comprehensive support to help your child study for and take Italian A-Level as a private candidate. They can cover the full syllabus, ensuring your child is just as prepared as those studying in a school.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. 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.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here for core academic support in subjects like Italian, Maths, and English, your child can also learn a musical instrument like the guitar, explore coding, or even get help with university-level courses.
How do I choose the right Italian tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure they're a great match.
How much does an Italian tutor in Torquay cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with prices starting from £15 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and must provide a valid DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Italian?
One-to-one attention from an expert can make a huge difference. Tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief step by step.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families opt for one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons during busy exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions. It’s completely flexible.
Do I need to be in the room during the lesson?
It's not necessary for you to be present for the whole lesson, especially with older children. However, we recommend being nearby for the first session to help your child get set up and comfortable. All lessons can be recorded, so you can review them later if you wish.
How do the online lessons work?
You can chat with your tutor at any time through our messaging system to get updates. Tutors will often provide feedback after each session, and you can discuss your child's progress and set new goals together.
