Our qualified Italian tutors have been hand-picked by teaching experts (our longest-standing, most successful tutors, some of whom are PGCE qualified teachers) in our thorough selection process.
Gabriella
Featured Italian tutor
Gabriella grew up in Switzerland before studying Italian and Portuguese at Edinburgh University. She teaches French and Italian to A Level; her areas of particular expertise are writing and conversation. She believes that all students learn languages in different ways. She aims to understand the student’s approach to learning in order to guide her own teaching.
How can an Italian tutor help?
Whether you're studying Italian for GCSE, A-Level, or IB, or looking to enhance your conversational skills, our tutors are here to assist you.
Formal exams require proficiency in writing, speaking, and listening, which can be challenging to master in a classroom setting or independently. Our tutors appreciate that learning a new language can feel daunting, and that even the most diligent of students can lack confidence in unknown grammatical territory. The expert guidance of our tutors will boost your knowledge and practice of the Italian language.
One-to-one Italian tuition affords learners the time to explore the aspects of Italian arts, history and even cuisine that engage and interest them. Our tutors are ready to help you on your way to becoming a modern language maestro!
What Italian tutors are available at Titanium Tutors?
We source Italian tutors for learners of all ages and levels, including young children from bilingual homes who may have reached a point where they are ready to learn how to read and write in Italian and need some more formal instruction. Our services encompass all exam preparations, from scholarships to GCSE, IGCSE, A Level, IB, and university entrance exams like the MLAT. We also provide Italian tutors for professional upskilling, job relocations, and even translation projects.
Our qualified Italian tutors have been meticulously chosen by education experts, including our most experienced tutors, some of whom hold PGCEs. Our rigorous selection process ensures we only offer you the highest standards of tuition.
For an affordable solution, we offer undergraduate tutors—current students from prestigious universities studying Italian. These tutors boast outstanding academic records and a real passion for the subject making them ideal mentors.
For those with a larger budget, we can provide very experienced graduates who have clocked up hundreds or even thousands of hours of teaching experience. Many of these Italian tutors have PGCEs and/or PhDs. Some also have taught Italian in the classroom, or have acted as Head of Modern Languages in schools, or have marked or examined for the major exam boards.
What does an Italian tutor cost?
The cost of an Italian tutor will be informed by the tutor's credentials and teaching/private tutoring experience. Undergraduate students currently either studying Italian or with native Italian proficiency sit in the lower price bands, whereas those with a teaching qualification, Heads of Modern Foreign Language Departments and/or examiners sit within the top pay band.
At Titanium Tutors, we offer Italian tutors at a range of rates - check out our prices here.
Learning a new language can be hard and discouraging at first, especially
when learning it from scratch. You have to learn new grammar, memorise
vocabulary and practise listening.
But…if you are committed, and if you follow the right strategy, it can be a
very enriching and rewarding experience.
Students frequently ask me ‘What’s the best way to learn Italian and how long will it take me to be fluent?’. That’s a tricky question, with no specific answer. Each individual student might have a different approach to learning a language depending on different factors including time, age of the student, prior linguistic knowledge, and motivation.
Even so, I do have some tips to share which many of my students have found effective in learning Italian:
> Set yourself language-learning goals. Ask yourself "what do I want to achieve?". Depending on the reason why you decided to learn or improve your Italian, set yourself some goals. For example, if you are learning Italian for your GCSE or A Level exam, plan to study 30-50 words and do one paper a week; this will help you develop the necessary skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing). Furthermore, you will be able to focus on the main objectives and to achieve them without feeling too stressed when the exam is approaching.
> Look for a private tutor or enrol yourself in a course. Both ways are very effective and will be a great support through your learning process. Joining a course will give you the opportunity to be part of a learning community. However, if you choose the path of looking for a tutor to help you learning the language, you will receive a more personal and tailored approach.
> Make use of the great amount of free resources online. If you are looking for a free of cost approach, the internet is the right place for you! It will be able to give you all the support you need; from podcasts to free online lessons and videos. There are also plenty of apps that can be useful to learn Italian such as Memrise, Duolingo and Babbel.
> Seek out real-life practice. Interacting in the new language is key — find native speakers near you or, even better, travel to Italy for some real practice!
> Keep your motivation up. As I mentioned before, motivation is very important throughout the whole learning process. You might be learning Italian for work, study or because some members of your family speak the language. There might be times where you want to give up or feel like you’re not going anywhere. That’s the right moment to remind yourself about the reason you are learning the language and...never give up!
Buona fortuna! (Good luck!)
