Dario Distefano

Hola and Ciao! I am a fully qualified teacher (QTS) based in the UK, with a strong passion for languages and communication. I specialise in Modern Foreign Languages, with a particular focus on Spanish and Italian. Whether you are a school student preparing for GCSE or A Level, an adult learner starting from scratch, or someone who wants to improve conversational skills, I can help you reach your goals in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

Spanish is currently my main teaching focus. I lived in Madrid for almost seven years and also spent time in South America, which gave me a rich and authentic experience of how the language is spoken in different regions. I teach not just grammar and vocabulary, but also pronunciation, expressions, and cultural knowledge that make the language come alive. I believe this makes a big difference, especially for students preparing for exams or planning to travel.

Italian is my mother tongue, and I have always been fascinated by languages. I studied several during my school years and continued exploring them while travelling. I also offer beginner support in German and French, depending on what the student is looking for.

What sets me apart is not only my passion for languages, but also my deep understanding of how to learn them effectively. Over the years, I have developed and used proven techniques that make language learning easier, faster and more meaningful. I apply these methods in my teaching to help every student make clear, confident progress.

Having lived in different countries, I understand the importance of adapting to different cultures and learning styles. My lessons are student focused, interactive, and always tailored to your specific needs.

Learning a language should feel inspiring. Let us take that journey together, one lesson at a time.
