Gabriella's Feedback

Very patient and structured teaching. My child enjoyed learning Spanish with Gabriella since the first lesson! My child is becoming more confident when speaking Spanish.

Gabriella is patient, friendly and informative . Gabriella teaches at a pace that suits my ability. I am slowly gaining confidence in speaking / reading Italian.
I certainly would recommend Gabriella for anyone learning a new language.

Great teacher. highly recommended

My lessons with Gabriella are useful and enjoyable. She has listened to my specific needs and suggested the right approach to meeting them. She gives advice on how Italian is actually used day-to-day as well as helping me understand the practicalities of being in Italy. Very much recommended.

Bethany has had a couple of lessons so far and really enjoyed her time with Gabriella from the start. She has had a number of private tutors over the years but she she really enjoyed these lessons. Bethany has a busy sports schedule but we will definitely be booking some more lessons when we can fit them in.

We contacted Gabriella 9 months ago for latin tuition for my 15 year-old daughter. Gabriella responded within 24 hours and we were able to make arrangements to start lessons very quickly. As my daughter was learning latin at home (and not being taught at school) Gabriella adapted her approach to broaden and enrich my daughter's learning, filling in the gaps and completing the GCSE curriculum. I found Gabriella a real pleasure to communicate with. Her care and consideration for my daughter's GCSE school workload was excellent and realistic, and has resulted in us looking at ways she can take latin GCSE indecently of school after her GCSE'S are completed. My daughter has really enjoyed learning with Gabriella and looked forward to her zoom lesson each week. It was easy to make contact if we needed to rearrange the lesson time, and payment was straightforward. I am really happy to recommend Gabriella wholeheartedly. We feel very lucky to have found her.

We only had a few lessons with Gabriella and had to stop for personal reasons but the few sessions my daughter did have with Gabriella for Spanish she found extremely beneficial. Gabriella is an expert in her field and is able to guide/ advise her tutees in a manner which they can easlily follow and comprehend. She is very passionate and this comes through in her teaching.

I would strongly recommend Gabriella for Spanish GCSE.

I have been having Italian lessons with Gabriella for several weeks now, I enjoy my lessons and I find them very beneficial. We have done a lot of work on Italian grammar which has helped me improve.
Gabriella is very friendly and a good tutor!

Gabriella has taught my 10 year old son Italian for two terms. Gabriella is meticulous well organised, prompt, very good with children and an excellent teacher. My son greatly enjoys his lessons and his Italian is progressing very well. I would highly recommend Gabriella.

Gabriella has been reliable, flexible and my daughter (who is studying A level Latin) is getting a lot our of the lessons.

I had been searching for a suitable Italian teacher for ages and am delighted to have found Gabriella. Listening to a native Italian speaker I think is extremely important so Gabriella ticks that box. We are working our way through an Italian text/work book and I am thoroughly enjoying our lessons. I know that Gabriella teaches many children and I can see why she would be good at this as she is very patient! I would highly recommend Gabriella to anyone wanting to learn Italian.

We had only 2 lessons with Gabriella. To be very honest there are not structured lessons, no plan for her lessons. My child was confused and couldn't focus at all. Waisted time and money.

I have only had two sessions so far with Gabriella, but have enjoyed them and found her approach friendly, and with a light touch.
She has been very helpful for me in covering and consolidating some of the basics of Italian.

We have been with Gabriella for over a year now and have found her mixture of both text book and general conversation to be very helpful in furthering our knowledge and communication in Italian. We would recommend her, especially for people like us who already have limited knowledge. Being Italian herself she can bring both the text book language and the reality to the classroom which means our confidence is building. Thank you Gabriella

I’m learning for personal reasons as an older student. Have found Gabriella very engaging and explains everything That i do not understand, very patient and at the same time I think we are making progress.

Gabriella is a fantastic tutor. I could not have wished for a better one.

When I was in school I really struggled to learn French and German. This has now all changed, Gabriella has been patient, professional, personable and all round brilliant. She has explained the why behind the meanings and reasoning, which is great to learn the history of the language. I was so nervous about finding the right tutor but feel very lucky that I have found such an amazing teacher.

I would defiantly recommend her to anyone, at any skill level wanting to improve their language skills.

Gabriella is a lovely tutor and my daughter was happy with her tuition.

Excellent teacher.

Gabriella is an excellent, patient and intelligent tutor who worked superbly well with my child despite a general dislike of academics. This was a very positive experience for all of us and the bridge we needed to get kiddo ready to restart school, after the pandemic and other factors affected our student’s confidence.

We would happily work with Gabriella again.

This is a truly exceptional teacher, exceptional communicator who is easily likeable and exceptionally knowledgeable in the two subjects she teaches. Gabriella has been teaching my niece for some time now, she's taught her Spanish and Maths. Gabriella has been extremely committed to every lesson so much so, it feels like my niece is her only student but she's not because I know Gabriella has many students and is very busy but that's the sort of time, preparation and devotion she is happy to provide her student with. She is also able to find areas where a student needs help and Gabriella works with the student to equip them accordingly. Once I've told Gabriella my niece needs help with this matter or revision for example, she took it upon herself to resolve that issue. Such a great sense of duty and ethics. It's truly been an honour to come across such a teacher who believes in what she does, she reminds me of my own great teachers and the reason why no one forgets a good teacher.

Gabriella has been a great maths tutor for my 13yo daughter. They have a good rapport and Gabriella has done an excellent job in building my daughters confidence in maths. She has taken her through different areas of the syllabus, explaining theory in a really understandable way, and then put it to the test to ensure it was really learned and understood. I’m really pleased with the progress they are making and the change in daughters belief in her ability.

Wonderful! Thumbs up from a 14 year old.

I am happy with how Gabriella is supporting my daughter in year 8 maths.
A structured approach is taken for each lesson and I can see my daughter’s confidence growing.

Great first few lessons with Gabriella. My son (year7) is doing Math and English weekly and is challenged and supported.
We will definitely continue with Gabriella.

Gabriella helped my daughter with preparation for her entrance exam for highschool. After just 2 lessons Gabriella helped my daughter to feel much more confident with her exams. My daughter really liked Gabriella, and her style of teaching. In her style of teaching she was able to simplify areas of maths my daughter had been struggling with previously. I would highly recommend Gabriella to anyone wanting help with exam preparation.

This was my daughter's first lesson with Gabriella, she was patient and encouraging.

Gabriella has a high level of professionalism and is very trustworthy. She encourages the children to work hard by providing them with positive feedback. She sends the online details always in time and provides very structured lessons. She knows how to explain vocabulary to young children.

My daughter found Gabriella to be well planned for the lesson and explained concepts clearly in great detail.

Gabriella was a great help for our daughter and we would have no reservation recommending her for 11+ English assistance. Very professional, very likeable, very effective!

Gabriella is currently preparing my son for his GCSE in Italian. She has been extremey flexible to accomodate our availability and has been very good in getting my son interested in the subject. Gabriella has been excellent in working out how my son studies, his strenghts and weaknesses and tailoring her lessons to him. I am very pleased with his progress so far!

I would highly recommend Gabriella - my 6 year old daughter simply did not enjoy maths, however, a few sessions with Gabriella and she is now much more amenable with the subject and actually looks forward to her sessions with Gabriella. Thank you Gabriella!

Excellent structure and easy to follow lessons. Would recommend

Gabriella is flexible and very friendly and very competent. My daughters look forward to their class with Gabriella, and we can see the improvement in our daughters ability both in Maths and English.

Very lucky to have found you. My son has really enjoyed his lessons and says the lessons have been a tremendous help and now looks forward to continuing with the subject. Thank you

Very good, enjoyable lessons. She is fantastic. I strongly suggest

Hello
I am 10 years old and have been tutored by Gabriella for a couple of months. I enjoy it because she makes the lessons fun and I learn a lot.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Gabriella for her excellent professionalism and high quality work. She has been amazing.

Very patient and nice to the girls. Do like the wrap with parents in the last few minutes of the lesson.

Had first lesson on Monday 6 April - all good.
30 April. I've now had 3 lessons, I'm really enjoying the opportunity to speak Italian with my tutor Gabriella for a whole hour, which is something I would otherwise not be able to do, even when on holiday in Italy. So it's been a very useful experience, con un'insegnante simpatica.

Excellent tutor our son loves it

Gabriella is a great tutor. She is helping me to learn Italian. I am complete beginner. I had tried to attend a large class but couldn’t keep up. Have Gabriela as an individual tutor is helping me to progress and I can now read and speak some basic Italian.

Very nice lady … good learning environment in her house specially set up . Well executed lesson giving time for questions .Incorporates a true sense of Italian culture in the learning experience
Looking forward to learning more :))

Gabriella is a very professional tutor who is always on time. Gabriella is also kind, patient and understanding which are qualities that are so important.

I am very happy with my daughters tutoring and we absolutely recommend Gabriella.

Very engaging and has made a difference already.
We are very excited about her progress

The Maths teacher from my son's school was concerned he was falling behind with his knowledge of maths with only 8 months to his GCSE exams. Test score was coming back 11/80. Started visiting Gabriella once per week. Test score has improved to 63-80 after just 4 months. Revisited school for next parents evening teacher said he was a revelation and the improvement was the best he had seen in 5 years of teaching.(Personally thought he should have done his job properly in the first place !).
School teacher thought he had improved so much that if we where a month or two earlier, he may have been able to sit the higher paper. Well done Gabriella happy Dad !! I will be sending my second son straight from the start of the academic year (September 2019) as a lesson learn't from first son.

Well organised, easy to follow, goes at a comfortable pace whilst making the subject interesting. I fully recommend Gabriella to anyone wishing to learn Italian.

Absolutely fantastic tutor, my son has turned a corner learning maths with Gabriella. In my sons words… Gabriella puts maths into a straight line and it makes sense. My son leaves Gabriellas with such a good understanding of the year work and is more confident with maths. This money and time well spent for a 15year old in yr 11 preparing for his GCSE maths

Gabriella is a great tutor, taking into consideration y individual language needs and tailoring lessons towards me.

After 3 lessons all seems good. Gabriella is friendly and personable and explains things clearly. She has a good knowledge of etymology which makes it very interesting, and she is very encouraging.

Gabriella is an excellent teacher and my Italian grammar has improved hugely with her tuition in a very short time.
I thoroughly recommend Gabriella who, with charm & humour, is providing me with a very thorough, practical and up to date insight into the Italian language.

I find learning with Gabriella relaxed and very interesting. I'm confident I'll meet my language goals with help from Gabriella.

I would highly recommend her.

We've now had 2 sessions with Gabriella and are delighted with her approach to teaching. First session and straight into a full lesson that we felt we'd achieved something straight away. We even had a short field trip to Spain to meet a builder who spoke little English and came away having been able to outline the work we needed knowing we understood each other.
Highly recommend Gabriella

I’ve had two lesson with Gabriella. She is very patient and professional. And I feel that I have gained in confidence already.

Gabriella delivers her Italian one-to-one classes in a very relaxed and efficient way. She is very flexible and tailors the lesson material based on my needs. I would recommend her to anyone wishing to study Italian.

Gabriella understood immediately my reasons for wishing to improve my Italian. The ease with which she adjusted her style of teaching and method was remarkable. There is no question that she can teach students for exams, which is a different type of learning, and switch to what I need without batting an eyelid. She is a very accomplished educator, widely read and very experienced.
Not for her the lengthy vocabulary lists and detailed explanations of tenses… she wants her students to enjoy the learning experience and uses everyday situations to enhance the sheer fun of making progress.
I do not need to read Dante so I am learning the spoken language and loving every minute…

She is fantastic. I strongly suggest

Great tutor. Really helped my son past a tricky period in his maths. I would highly recommend Gabriella.

Gabriella is a great tutor - my son immediately liked her and respects her. Gabriella has expanded his mathematical and english skills in just a few short sessions.

I strongly recommend her.

We were looking for someone to help our conversational Italian improve. Speaking a foreign language is the scariest part of the process for us, but Gabriella soon put us at our ease.
Gabriella is well organised and makes learning structured and efficient whilst at the same time keeping the sessions interesting and relaxed.
We'll certainly hope to be able to continue with Gabriella for the forseeable future.

Accommodating & adaptable. Only had two lessons but so far a good experience

Thank you Gabriella for stepping in and helping us out at short notice. We appreciate your professionalism and dedication.

This Italian tutor is definitely the person to go to if you are in need of some pre-examination preparation, to learn from scratch or even to boost your confidence in the language. Either way, she is brilliant and definitely helped me work towards a good grade in my exam. She is friendly and makes you feel comfortable in her home within your first visit. I will definitely be coming back in the future if needed!

Gabriella was an excellent tutor - she put my daughter at ease, gave her feedback on where she needed to improve and really built her confidentce on this subject! I would definitely recommend her!

Gabriella is an excellent tutor and after only a few lessons has effectively assessed my current level of ability, and is now tailoring my tuition accordingly. My current needs are to improve my level of conversational and listening comprehension skills, and Gabriella is focusing my studies to ensure that I achieve this aim. I would thoroughly recommend her to students of all levels.

Gabriella is enthusiastic and patient. She is now teaching my grand daughter on a one to one basis rather than the two of us together as this seems a more effective way to help Brooke with her studies.

Gabriella was extremely helpful and by the end of the session I felt confident I would be able to sing the songs successfully. She also gave me some tips and rules for pronouncing Italian which I will be able to use in the future.

very good

Very good, enjoyable lessons.

Relaxed one to one sessions, flexible, knowledgable… everything I needed.
