Native Italian and Fluent French Tutor - beginners, GCSE, IB level

Buongiorno / Bonjour!

I’m a passionate and patient language tutor with native fluency in Italian and advanced proficiency in French. I specialise in guiding students through GCSE and IB Diploma exams, but I also love working with complete beginners who are just starting their language journey, helping them build confidence from the very first lesson.

With 2 years of tutoring experience, I’ve taught across a wide range of ages and levels: primary school children discovering the joy of languages, secondary school students tackling GCSEs, and upper school/IB learners. No matter your starting point, I meet each student exactly where they are and scaffold their progress step by step toward their personal goals, whether that’s exam success, fluency for travel, cultural exploration, or future studies.

Every lesson is fully tailored to your individual needs, strengths, learning style, and interests. I incorporate a balanced mix of written work, oral practice, reading comprehension, and listening skills to develop well-rounded proficiency. For French lessons especially, I aim to speak French throughout (with clear explanations and support as needed) to immerse you in the language and rapidly improve your listening and comprehension. We apply concepts to real-world examples - current events, films, music, travel scenarios, or topics you’re personally passionate about, so learning feels relevant, engaging, and fun.

I have extensive experience supporting students with a wide range of neurodiversity and learning needs (including ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and more). My approach is flexible, empathetic, and inclusive: we adapt pacing, methods, and materials to suit how you learn best, always focusing on building strengths and reducing barriers.

My ultimate goal? To help you truly enjoy the language and feel confident using it in everyday life, whether chatting with locals on a trip, acing your exams or or diving into the culture.

Flexible online lessons.
