Maria

I am a native Italian speaker and fully qualified lecturer with 20 years of experience teaching a broad range of students of various ages and backgrounds. I plan my lessons according to the pupil's learning style and educational needs, and my philosophy is "Your success is my success". I believe that the stronger the connection between tutor and student, the better the results and achievements. I work intuitively and always aim to make our lessons refreshing and engaging.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching in formal and informal education since 2002 and I am passionate about what I do. I feel very rewarded by seeing my students achieving their potential and I do my best for my lessons to be relevant, fun and inspiring.

Tutoring Approach

As a holistic educator, I believe that intuition plays a big part in learning a foreign language. Over the years I have developed a method that relies heavily on it, while also focusing on developing conversational skills and establishing a strong grammatical foundation, understanding the 'whys' and recognizing morphological and grammatical patterns.

I offer personalized programs of 1+ hrs online lessons per week. Delivery is entirely online via Skype. The fees shown are per person per hour and lessons are usually 2 hours.
Specialized in intensive preparation courses for GCSE and adult learners, but also A-Level Italian available. Contact me for info. I have a DBS up to date.
