Meet Our Tutors
I am a tutor with extensive experience teaching GCSE and A Level Italian students. I hold a degree in Modern Languages from the University of Bologna and a PGCE with Modern Foreign Languages from Goldsmiths, University of London. I have taught Italian to GCSE and A Level learners, providing personalised support aimed at exam success. I have also worked internationally in education and language teaching, including as a Spanish and French teacher in Italy. Alongside my language teaching, I have extensive experience as a Primary Teacher, SENDCo and tutor. I have supported learners through tailored teaching and SEND-informed strategies and have worked with students from primary level through to A Level. My teaching approach focuses on helping students understand what they are learning and why, develop confidence and take ownership of their progress. I use active modelling, guided practice and “teach back”, encouraging students to explain what they have learned in their own words.

Key Features of our Italian Tutoring Programme
Our tutors can teach Italian to students of all ages, from 4 upwards. We offer focused preparation for GCSEs, A Levels, IB, and university exam. Our tuition covers all key aspects of the syllabus, including speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills. We can also teach conversational and business Italian to adult learners.
All our tutoring is 1-1. This allows every student to receive a customised learning plan based on their syllabus, learning style, and academic goals to maximise progress.
Our handpicked tutors have native or near-native proficiency with Italian. They bring proven teaching experience and deep knowledge of multiple exam boards and syllabuses.
Detailed feedback after every session keeps parents informed and ensures students stay on track and build confidence in their Italian abilities.
Our online tutoring is conducted in interactive virtual classrooms with shared whiteboards, document uploads, and real-time feedback to ensure effective remote learning. Our face-to-face tutoring is available in London.
Tutoring for All Levels
Italian tuition for younger learners is centered on strong foundations and genuine enjoyment of the language. Tutors can develop vocabulary, pronunciation and simple grammar through conversation, reading and engaging activities, gradually building confidence in speaking, listening and writing. Lessons can complement school learning or provide a stimulating introduction to Italian beyond the classroom.
For students following AQA or Pearson Edexcel GCSE Italian, our tuition combines rigorous language skills with focused exam preparation. Our GCSE Italian tutors can strengthen grammar and vocabulary, refine speaking and pronunciation, and develop confidence across listening, reading, and writing. Lessons can also target the exam and revision techniques which routinely boost students’ scores by a grade or more.
At A Level, our tutors help each child rise to meet the demands of the syllabus. Our A Level Italian tutors can support students following the Pearson Edexcel or Cambridge International exam boards, developing sophisticated written and spoken Italian alongside a deeper understanding of Italian culture and society. Depending on the specification, lessons may include advanced grammar, translation, literary or film analysis, independent research, and preparation for oral examinations.
For older students, the flexibility of our Italian tuition comes into its own. Lessons are shaped around your academic, professional, or personal objectives. Beginners may establish a rigorous grounding in grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, while more advanced learners can work towards greater fluency, precision, and sophistication. Tutors can also focus on university study, professional Italian, literature and culture, or confident conversation for travel and everyday life.

Reviews for our Tutoring

★★★★★ ★★★★★
We are very grateful for the support our daughter received during the RGS exam preparation process. Rachelle was incredibly patient and calm, which made a big difference in reducing exam stress. She has a wonderful way with children and created a very supportive learning environment. At the same time, she provided clear structure and well-organised materials that helped our daughter feel confident and prepared. We truly appreciate her guidance and would highly recommend her to other families preparing for entrance exams.

★★★★★ ★★★★★
We had a really positive experience with Duke’s Tutoring and their affiliated school Devonshire Prep. A year ago our son was attending a French bilingual school and had large gaps in his maths knowledge, along with zero exposure to the reading comprehension, writing, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning expectations typical of top UK independent schools. With Duke’s help, we put together a structured plan. He did an intensive summer “boot camp” programme and then spent just one term at Devonshire Prep (an affiliate school of theirs that they recommended) to do the final preparation for his 11+ exams. We were so happy with the results! He received offers from 4 of the 8 schools he applied to — including Habs (where he’ll be starting next year), UCS, and Mill Hill. What impressed me most was how knowledgeable Duke’s tutors are about the entire 11+ process. They clearly understand the roadmap and know how to efficiently help children close gaps quickly and build the skills these exams require. We’re extremely grateful for their support and would happily recommend them to other families navigating the 11+ journey!

We had an excellent experience with Tania, who tutored my daughter in English and Verbal Reasoning for the 11+ exams. Her approach was highly personalized, ensuring my daughter’s learning was tailored to her strengths and areas for improvement. She was always approachable and took the time to discuss progress and future plans every 2-3 months, which helped us stay on track. Tania was incredibly honest about which schools were aspirational and which were realistic, providing clear guidance throughout the process. Her detailed feedback arrived within an hour of each lesson, and the monthly reports with specific targets kept us well-informed. Most importantly, she is a genuinely good human being—kind, patient, and deeply invested in her students’ success. Thanks to her support, my daughter received offers from her top three school choices. I highly recommend Tania to any parent looking for a dedicated and transparent tutor

We had Yasmin tutoring our 10yo in readiness for her SATs, and I can’t speak highly enough of her as a tutor. She not only brought Katie up a level academically, but also instilled greater confidence in her. Thank you Yasmin and Dukes Tutoring..!

★★★★★ ★★★★★
I cannot recommend JK Educate enough! My daughter was preparing for the 11+ exams, and we were looking for a tutor who could provide focused, personalized support. Tania was absolutely amazing! She quickly understood my daughter’s strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring each lesson to suit her needs. Not only was Tania knowledgeable and professional, but she also made the sessions engaging and fun, which helped build my daughter’s confidence. Thanks to Tania’s guidance, my daughter went into the 11+ exams feeling well-prepared and calm. We are so grateful for the incredible support from both Tania and the team at JK Educate. The progress my daughter made was beyond our expectations, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! My daughter has received offers from four top schools and 4 academic scholarships. Thank you, Tania and JK Educate, for your dedication and hard work. You truly made a difference in our journey!

Do I Need an Italian Tutor for GCSE or A Level?
If your child is preparing for their Italian GCSE or A Level exams, focused tutoring can provide the support they need to succeed.
Many students struggle with the complexities of grammar, tenses, and vocabulary, which can make writing and comprehension tasks particularly challenging. Others may feel nervous about speaking and listening components, especially when it comes to oral exams that require fluency and confidence. Falling behind in revision can also leave students feeling overwhelmed, particularly as exams approach.
For those aiming for top grades or needing structured exam preparation, an Italian tutor can provide personalised guidance tailored to their specific needs. Our tutors focus on identifying areas of weakness, clarifying difficult topics, and reinforcing key skills through practice and feedback.
With targeted support, they can help your child build confidence, improve their fluency, and achieve the results they deserve.
