I am a highly experienced tutor with over 7 years experience teaching and tutoring in private and public schools, as well as privately and online, in the UK, France and Spain. I am familiar with all major exam boards, and have been frequently noted for the passion and rigor with which I introduce and teach my subjects. I am a firm believer in the idea that education should be available to all, and that there is is student without potential. I thus make a point to help the student see the attraction of the subject. My methodology is focused on ensuring immersion in both the more theoretical and abstract principles of the subect and their application through practice and concrete examples. I aim to get the student applying themselves consistently as soon as possible, keeping a constant eye out for areas for improvement. I studied at the University of Warwick, Sciences Po, and the Sorbonne. I have worked as a teacher, tutor, translator, researcher, as well as business research and charity. I am fluent in 6 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German. I am also a teacher of Latin and Greek.

Dynamic Language Educator: German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew Welcome to my profile! I am an enthusiastic and experienced language teacher specialised in German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew. With a rich background in academia, I served as a university lecturer for seven years. Since 2018, I have dedicated myself to teaching German, Italian, Latin and Hebrew at all proficiency levels. **GCSE, A-Level & IB** I am particularly skilled in preparing students for key examinations, including GCSE (National 5), A-Level (Higher) and IB across various boards such as AQA, EDEXCEL, SQA, and more. Over the past six years, I have successfully guided numerous pupils through these critical assessments. **Professional Development and Personal Enrichment** In addition to academic tutoring, I have collaborated with professionals seeking to enhance their language skills for career advancement or personal enrichment. My flexible scheduling approach accommodates the diverse needs of busy professionals, ensuring a seamless learning experience. **Customised Learning Approach** Recognising that each learner is unique, I craft personalized lesson plans to align with individual goals and learning styles. I believe in a student-centred approach, allowing learners to progress at their own pace without the constraints of a rigid methodology. **Assessment and Goal Setting** Our journey begins with an initial assessment to gauge your current proficiency. Through conversation and a brief reading exercise, I quickly ascertain your starting level. This evaluation is crucial in developing a structured learning plan with clear milestones, which are particularly beneficial for GCSE/A-Level pupils. Regular goal setting fosters motivation and ensures efficient, cost-effective learning. **Comprehensive Feedback and Support** I am committed to providing continuous feedback and support throughout your language learning journey. Homework assignments are an integral part of the process, and I review and provide insights on the work submitted. **Balanced Lesson Structure** Each lesson is thoughtfully divided into three complementary segments: 1. Speaking and Listening - Enhancing conversational skills and auditory comprehension. 2. Grammar - Building a strong foundation in language structure. 3. Reading - Developing reading proficiency and comprehension. Thank you for considering me as your language tutor. I am excited about the opportunity to embark on this linguistic journey with you.

Hi, I'm Elena! I have recently graduated from the University of Oxford with a First Class Degree in Modern Languages and Literature (French and Italian). I have over three years experience tutoring Modern Languages, English Language and English Literature online and take a tailored approach to teaching. Whether you want to improve your vocabulary, translation skills, speaking fluency, or a bit of everything, I strive to instil my students with the skills to feel confident communicating in a foreign language. I take a conscientious approach to teaching - making sure that I consolidate previous content as well as furthering my student's knowledge in order to ensure long term comprehension. I include mini tests and homework into my lesson structure and take into account my student's exam boards when planning lessons. I also have experience tutoring English Literature up to GCSE level - teaching both essay writing technique and textual content. In particular I focus on helping my students develop their analytical skills and gain confidence in writing in detail and successfully about texts. I achieved three A* grades at A Level, in History, French and English Literature and completed an EPQ. I also have extensive experience with the English curriculum of these subjects and have experience preparing students for entrance exams in prestigious schools.

Hi! I am Tommaso, 27, and I was born in Milan, Italy. I am passionate, curious, and particularly fond of sports and arts. I am currently a PhD student at University College London, working on C.G. Jung and analytical psychology. My latest teaching experience has been with MA students at the Health Humanities Centre (UCL), a course which seeks to combine the study of the history of medicine with the humanities. Besides, I am managing editor for Phanês, Journal for Jung History. My tutoring experience started during my BA in Milan, approximately 5 years ago.

Hi, thank you for landing on my profile. I am a native Italian and Chinese tutor, and I have been teaching Italian and Chinese (as well as English, French and Spanish) for many years, both in person and online. I am passionate about empowering my students and designing classes that allow them to learn quickly whilst having fun. With the right method, anyone can learn a language, and I am here to help you find out what works best for you. Of course, if you have a textbook or a specific curriculum, we can follow that. I personally love learning languages because they open so many doors and help people connect in real life. I am teaching myself German, Russian, Catalan and next year I will start Japanese. I currently live between London, Barcelona and Milan, so online classes are easier to arrange. About me, I spent 25 years between Europe and China and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Sustainable Tourism, working with the government. I also work as a tour director organising and leading tours across Europe (and other parts of the world) for schools and private groups. I am a qualified yoga/qi gong/ meditation teacher, and some of my hobbies are scuba diving, tango, cooking and playing music (mostly violin and piano).

I am an enthusiastic and highly experienced tutor who has helped hundreds of students to improve their performance in their subjects and excel in their exams. I have always ensured that I found out what students' individual needs were and made it my business to meet those individual needs during the course of their classes. I discuss my students' goals during their first lesson so that they start with clear aims in mind. I encourage students to become aware of their strengths rather than their weaknesses and make sure that they practise anything they are unsure of until they improve. I taught English as a Foreign Language for 6 years in Spain, during which time I had the opportunity to teach people of different age groups, from young children to middle-aged adults. It was with this type of experience that I taught both adults ad children when I started teaching in London, which I still do in Manchester today. I teach mostly Maths and English to children and French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian to adults. I have successfully taught a number of language students online. If you need a tutor who will inspire confidence in you, I can do this. Here are some of my students' testimonials: Andy: Paul has been teaching me Portuguese for the last two and half years and during that time I have learnt enough to be able to have an enjoyable conversation with my partner's family. Paul is both patient and methodical and always ensures that I practise the language well and learn what I need. I look forward to learning more from Paul so that I feel even more part of my partner's family Karoline: Paul taught me conversational Spanish for two years. he helped me widen my vocabulary, understand more key words and phrases and even learn the subjunctive. When I visited my friends in Spanish I was able to talk in more depth and enjoy my conversations with them much more. Thank you, Paul for being so supportive and patient. Mark: Paul taught me Spanish conversation for three years. During that time he helped me to practise the kind of words and phrases that I would use in real life. I improved from being a hesitant intermediate student to being a very confident advanced student and cannot thank Paul enough for his guidance. Harriet: Paul taught me advanced French conversation online. I am a journalist and needed help to improve my French conversation so that I could go on assignments to French-speaking countries and do research on situations which I would end up writing about. Paul was an excellent tutor, teaching me lessons on a wide variety of different situations, which were to prove very useful once I went abroad to work on assignments. Paul's lessons were invaluable and prepared me well. When I'm not tutoring I like participating in local 5km park runs, cycling, watching rugby or cricket. I also like seeing live music and plays.

After graduating summa cum laude in Literature in Italy, I spent a year studying at Warwick University as part of the Erasmus Exchange program. I also have a high school diploma in classical studies. In addition to literature, I have a strong passion for cinema and yoga. For the past 5 years, I have been teaching Italian, covering grammar, linguistics, literature, diction, and articulation to students ranging from 8 to 18 years old, as well as to adults who require it for work or personal enrichment. Moreover, I am currently teaching English, including language, literature, grammar, and vocabulary. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially when it involves identifying the individual learning needs of my students and creating tailored learning plans to enhance their academic performance based on their goals.

I am able to teach Science, Maths, Spanish and Italian. I can also offer proofreading services and tuition for academic work. I am friendly and positive and can teach a wide range of age groups and abilities. Preparation for studies involves plenty of discussion about what topics the student would like to cover and what they`d like to get out of the classes. I have a PhD in medicinal chemistry from Cardiff University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher on the development of new medicines and I have previously worked for a drug development company. I have helped teach drug design and development courses, given lectures and taught in the lab. I have a TEFL certification and am experienced in teaching English, Science and Maths in Asia and in companies in Spain. Since 2019 I have been tutoring a range of subjects in sciences and languages including giving intensive Italian lessons. I am able to speak Italian due to studying it as an additional course at university, working with Italian people for many years and now teaching it as a subject to adults to prepare them for living and working in Italy. Additionally, I lived and worked in Spain for around a year and a half and I can therefore teach Spanish. I can teach people from KS3 to postgraduate level depending on the topic. I look forward to hearing from you :D

I am an experienced tutor, with over 10 years of experience. I am passionate about good quality teaching and a strong advocate for education. I enjoy sharing my subject knowledge and helping my students achieving their goal through rigorous work and emotional investment. I have a BA, MA and MSc in History and related subjects (Philosophy, Religious Studies, Cultures) and I am currently completing my PhD in the History of Emotions. As a trained historian, I am able to see the bigger picture, putting pieces together, with the strongest eye for details. Usually, I am excellent in identifying and addressing problems, especially in regards to my students or my classroom environment. My students have described me as a ‘rigorous’ and ‘inspiring’ tutor. I am Italian and I have been educated both in Italy (BA, MSc) and in the UK (MA, PhD). I have a wide, deep, solid knowledge of Humanities, particularly History, Cultural Studies and Religious Studies. I am fluent in English, Italian (mother tongue), Spanish (University level, DELE diploma) and French. I have also studied Ancient Greek and Latin. I can teach a History lesson starting from the etymology of a word, quoting literary texts and primary sources, using several different historiographical approaches. On the contrary, I can teach Spanish and Italian not only focusing on linguistic functions or grammar, but also explaining the meaning and use of the language through the culture and history of Spain and Italy. I would say my teaching approach is Socratic and solidly interdisciplinary. Essentially, I am comfortable teaching any subject in the Humanities. Currently I am working as an Assistant Tutor at the University of Warwick, where I teach a module focused on Early Modern European History, which is my area of expertise. I have experience in planning and delivering lessons, marking assignments, monitoring students' progress, being aware of health and safety as well as pastoral issues related to my students. During the last two years I have also worked for a charity called 'The Brilliant Club', delivering academic style programmes in schools, to promote higher educations for young people with high potentiality but disadvantaged backgrounds. I regularly teach Italians to kids in my local area and, when still residing in Italy, I worked for several years as private tutor for private families, assisting kids aged 7 to 17.

Hello, My name is Violaine, I am a French native tutor with experience of teaching French as well as Italian and English in France and the UK. I am also a qualified teacher with a degree in languages, literature and civilisation. I teach all ages and levels and I can help you with any French exams (DELF, DALF, GCSE or A-level). I am available all week and the lessons can be online or at mine on request. I offer one-to-one and group lessons, as well as in-company lessons depending on the needs of the student. I am a very enthusiastic, friendly and sociable teacher. I never judge my students as I, myself, had to learn a brand new language, its grammar and tricks when I decided to study English, I am aware of how difficult and intimidating it can be for students to feel free to communicate. I guarantee I will help you build your confidence. The lessons are based on your needs and any specific area of the language can be covered. I adapt to the student's preference in term of teaching as I am fascinated by the beauty of languages and believe that everyone should be enjoying the journey to discover another culture. I am open to any suggestion from the student to make the process of learning interesting and fun for you. The aim of the lessons is to be able to actively converse in French and to take part in real-life situations. I will provide you the elements of languages you need to know to achieve this, in a safe and supportive environment. I have taught French to people from England, Italy, Brazil, Portugal, Venezuela, Israel, South Korea, China, Japan and other countries. My students are of all ages, all nationalities and all social backgrounds. I am able to teach to toddlers as well. I will be very happy to share my enthusiasm for languages, diversity and cultures with you. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information or if you have questions. Violaine.

How long will it take me to learn Italian?

Learning Italian requires patience and dedication; you won't become fluent overnight. With very intensive lessons, you can pick up some conversational Italian within a few months. If you want to become very confident with your Italian, you'll want to take regular lessons every week or fortnight with a fluent Italian speaker. You can also practice in between lessons to solidify your knowledge and revise new vocab you've learnt.

Can I learn Italian online?

Yes, you can absolutely learn Italian online. Learning languages online is simpler than ever; there's a wealth of resources, worksheets and online tutors to help you learn a new language. Lots of people choose to learn Italian online rather than in person because it's more flexible, saves them time on travelling to lessons and can take place anywhere at any time.

How do I start learning Italian?

The best way to start learning Italian is to start familiarising yourself with the language. Download an app which will let you revise your vocabulary on the move, start watching Italian films or tv shows with subtitles on to improve your pronunciation and practice your conversational Italian with a native or fluent speaker.

Want to learn Italian?

It's hard to learn Italian on your own! Enlisting the help of a private Italian tutor can get you understanding and speaking the language much faster.

 

We have tutors that are available to teach online as well as in-person, depending on your preference. You might be about to begin your Italian GCSE at secondary school or you may be picking up Italian to learn a new skill as an adult. Whatever your situation, we will be able to match you with a tutor to suit your requirements. 

 

Learning a language requires practice and repetition above all else. It can feel like a long process, and can seem quite daunting without guidance. With an online Italian tutor, you can break the language down into manageable sections. In this way, you can learn at your own pace and take your time over the topics you find more difficult.
