Personal Description:
Experienced language tutor with excellent proficiency (oral/ written) in 3 languages.
I am an experienced tutor in teaching French (up to GCSE and IGCSE, A'Level and International Baccalaureate and beyond). I also teach German and Italian up to GCSE/IGCSE level.
I also teach conversation and practical French for adults looking to use the language for holidays/buying/maintaining properties in France as well as business French or just for general use
Have valid CRB disclosure
Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching for the last 10 years at all levels and have consistantly produced good results in my students at A' Level/IB as well as GCSE/IGCSE.
I am fully conversant with all Exam Boards and GCSE/IGCSE/A'LEVEL/IB etc. syllabuses
I have also taught French to adults at all levels for example who have just wanted to be able to converse comfortably while on holiday, use French to purchase a house in France. I have taught those who want to learn from scratch as well as those who are already at a reasonable level and want to improve their oral and writing skills for business or pleasure
Tutoring Approach:
My approach is firstly to assess closely where the gaps in my pupil's knowledge are and then build on closing them through grammar and vocabulary. I therefore give my students the building blocks to construct their own sentences in writing and speech.
I will work with them sometimes using their own text books but also I provide my own material to make the lessons more interesting. I will use games/quizzes as well as focussing on past papers and oral exams to help them gain confidence in the language.
I engage well with all my pupils and they always enjoy their lessons with me so that their time with me does not feel like just another extension of school
My conversation lessons with adults are always fast-paced and fun and my pupils widen their vocabulary and gain confidence in the new language very quickly

Personal Description:
I have been studying Spanish, French and Italian for many years and have gained numerous qualifications. Living in several European countries has also enabled me to develop my language skills to the extent that I am now confident in my ability to teach these languages to others.
I am currently studying for a TEFL course to update my teaching skills.
Teaching Experience:
I am approaching the end of my first year of language tutoring and have enjoyed the experience. I look forward to continuing my tutoring through UK tutors as well as other bodies. I have had one or two lessons to teach and wish to gain more experience by doing more. My aim is to become a freelance tutor.
Tutoring Approach:
I would be interested in teaching TEFL Spanish, and French to either young children or adults. I make use of the latest technologies that will make it a pleasure for you to develop new language skills.
I will help you develop skills in listening, reading, speaking and writing as I think these have an important part in every day life in foreign languages.
I am flexible, approachable and patient and will tutor you to whichever level you need.

Personal Description:
I am passionate about teaching languages, mostly orientals, and also coaching martial arts and self defence. I coach the IWTA-EWTO-WingTsun 梁挺詠春拳.
In the first 12 weeks of the beginners program you'll learn the basics for a proactive and "pre-emptive" self defence and to deal with the most "common" types of attacks. This is the Blitz-Defence program.
Afterward you start a more sophisticated training program where you learn to deal with an aggressor in a less violent way by using our unique tactile skills training method.
I can assure you, you will terminate every lesson by learning something new and useful! All I need is your concentration.
Due to the contact nature of this martial art I cam only teach in person and not online
Teaching Experience:
Currently tutoring Italian (advanced level) and Japanese (basic level) in all the 4 skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).
January 2012 - PRESENT: I have been teaching Italian language since January 2012 on 1-2-1 base and via skype when I am abroad.
February 2012 - April 2012: I taught Japanese language for absolute beginners via skype.
April 2010 - February 2012: I taught at The Mill Languages School, in Macclesfield town centre: Mandarin, Japanese, German. In particular I have taught German language to a tailored group to refresh their skills.
August 2015 - 2016. Tutoring Japanese language to beginner level via skype. I taught to school teachers who are planning to travel to Japan and teach English, they need a minimum fluency to go by.
....however; nothing can beat the experience I have matured over these past 2 years. I need your full committment over a term period (3 months). I need a quite learning environment where I can focus on your progress; either a public library or my house; coffee shop may work depending on the time we agree.
Tutoring Approach:
I am based in Macclesfield and I teach in an informal and yet methodical way; I can teach colloquial and formal languages.
As for martial art for self-defence (WingTsun Kungfu 梁挺詠春拳) I have been teaching privately at different venues.
Each 1-2-1 class has to be booked. I combine the Kungfu system with my experience in working with body awareness and body technique at contact.
This is a very diverse method of teaching in comparison to the mainstream as it involves not just the purely choreographic aspect but a more comprehensive.

Personal Description:
Paola
Online lessons nationwide and face to face based in Aberdeen.
I am a native Italian speaker with British nationality and fluent in both English and French.
I have a long working knowledge of English, having worked for several years as a librarian in Aberdeen and for the oil & gas industry (GE and NOV) for 8 years. I also worked for RGU prior to start teaching full time.
I offer Italian, French and English tuition at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced.
I studied English language and literature with French and Italian at La Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, where I obtained my PhD.
After graduation I spent a long time working in France in Disneyland Paris. This gave me the opportunity to hone my French language skills.
I have experience teaching students of various age and nationality, both school children and adults who need to pass exams.
I have a PVG check.
Teaching Experience:
University of Aberdeen
Rosemount Community Centre, small groups - Aberdeen
University of Aberdeen language department
Tutoring agencies
Tutoring Approach:
I offer distance learning tuition via Skype for all beginners, intermediate and advanced learners.
I describe myself as enthusiastic, friendly and patient.
I am committed to delivering high quality tuition by offering tailor-made classes to suit different students' needs.
I think that a good tutor should guide the student towards the learner's goal with confidence and be able to explain clearly and in a friendly manner.
I am committed to bridge the gap between the textbooks and the demands of modern learning making the learning process fun and adaptable to each student.
Learning a new language should be fun. I am passionate about creating activities for the learners and make them feel at ease and comfortable during the class.
I have experience teaching school children and adults one-to-one, one-to-two, and small groups for different organisations across the UK such as private schools and community centres.
I offer flexible hours so my students can arrange the classes according to their needs and availability.
Learning a new language is a great opportunity to discover the culture of another country.
Cultural awareness is part of the language experience. Therefore, I love sharing the culture of my country and my knowledge of other cultures with my students.
For my teaching, I use different techniques and media. I love sharing online resources such as videos, articles and podcasts for listening activities and guided speaking exercises.
I can prepare for school and university exams, including GCSE and National 4 and 4 English, French and Italian and EFL exams.
For learners who take regular classes I can correct short written exercises.
During the first class I can assess the student's level in order to plan a suitable course tailor made to the learner's needs.
I am enthusiastic for using new technologies to add to the learning experience.

Personal Description:
Hello and welcome :-)
I'm Craig and I have been teaching languages for almost 15 years now. I am a relaxed and patient teacher and will be well suited to anyone who needs to learn at their own pace or who needs things explained well and carefully to them.
I am also well qualified for the job with a BA Honours degree with triple distinctions in Spanish, Italian & French as well as Teacher Qualified Status and a CELTA. I have also lived, worked and studied in Spain, Italy, France and Greece.
I have studied a lot of languages myself. I've studied over 30 languages over the years. I have achieved fluency in the languages I teach, but I have also reached a fairly good standard in some other languages or have acquired a basic knowledge of many others. I will use some of the methods I have used to learn these languages to help teach you.
I will help you, step by step, to begin speaking and understanding your chosen language.
I am also DBS (previously CRB) checked for your security.
Here are a few a reviews from my customers:
I thoroughly recommend Craig to everyone as an excellent Spanish tutor. He is kind, patient and commited to his students.
My daughter, who had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) had an hour`s lesson every week for eighteen months, after her secondary school was unable to offer Spanish lessons. She achieved an A* grade in her GCSE exam (Review by Kerrie, Sittingbourne)
I thoroughly recommend Craig if you are looking to learn a foreign language. I spent my teenage years completely adamant that a second language was beyond me. German was my weakest subject and I sat at the back of the class applying my make up! I am now working towards conversational Spanish, and after just over 3 months I am able to hold a Facebook messenger conversation with my South American friends! Not only has Craig taught me enough grammar to achieve this, he also anticipates difficulties English speakers may have with certain language constructs and works through those too. I always look forward to my lessons each week, and enjoy doing the practice questions I`m given for homework. (Review by Emma, Chatham)
I am giving my Italian lessons with Craig a 5 star rating. I began my lessons as a complete novice and now feel confident enough to be going on holiday to Italy to stay in a non-English speaking village. Craig is a highly-skilled professional. I recommend him to anyone who wants to learn a language (he speaks and teaches many!) whether a beginner or with some existing knowledge, for holidays, for work or to reinforce their language learning. (Review by Amanda, Maidstone)
Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching languages since 2004 and have worked as a full time language tutor since 2010.
I have also taught in language schools in the UK and abroad as well as in public schools.
Tutoring Approach:
I am very patient and will guide you step by step towards speaking your language of choice. I use a mix of my own course designed by me and materials from other sources such as course books, grammar books and realia.

Personal Description:
I am an experienced teacher of both classics and modern languages, and have taught in a variety of secondary schools. I have stopped classroom teaching now but I am keen to carry on teaching in a different capacity. I am passionate about languages, words and communication and love to share this with others. I have lived abroad for prolonged periods in France and Italy, and travel to see friends there whenever possible.
Teaching Experience:
Since completing my PGCE in 1992 I have taught Latin, Greek, French and Italian, from beginners to A level and Oxbridge, in secondary schools, both private and state. More recently I have been giving private lessons to both adults and teenagers.
***PLEASE NOTE THAT I TEACH ANCIENT GREEK, NOT MODERN! The UK tutors website does not give Ancient Greek as an option in the drop down list. I am not able to teach modern Greek.
Tutoring Approach:
Successful language teaching should combine a fun approach using oral practice including song lyrics and games with a more structured approach to grammar; this gives the student confidence that they really understand the language used. The advantage of private lessons is that I can focus on what the individual learner wants, which might be lots of oral practice to become more proficient at speaking, or to pass a specific exam. I do like to set homework from week to week as this is an important part of progress; but it is not compulsory!

Personal Description:
Having completed my first degree in French and German at Oxford University in June 2013, I returned to Belfast to complete first a MA in Medieval History, and then a further MA in Translation Studies.
At the same time, I began building up a portfolio career as a freelance tutor and translator, allowing me to live out my passion for language, literature, and culture (alongside digger manuals, pharmaceutical texts, and other oddities) on a daily basis.
Teaching Experience:
My teaching experience dates back to my undergraduate years. At Oxford I gained two years' experience with Jacari, a charity that teaches English to local children of a different mother tongue. I also provided tuition to students of GCSE history in local Oxford schools.
I spent my year abroad teaching English to pupils aged 10 to 19 at a German grammar school, and have since instructed a number of tutees of ages 8 to 65+ in English Language, French, German and Italian.
I can also provide help with Oxbridge entrance examination and interview preparations for languages, English, and history, as well as general advice for personal statements.
Tutoring Approach:
This variety of experience has taught me the importance of varying my teaching approach according to the needs and interests of the pupil.
While I keep a keen eye on the intended curriculum or goals at all times, I am used and open to changing from more formal to more informal (i.e. games-based) tutoring methods as appropriate.

I am the founder of a company, which provides language tutoring (individual and groups, private and companies, online and face-to-face). My students call me "Il Maestro": I am sure they don't mean that! :D
There is no age limit for learning ITALIAN. Contact me!
Teaching Experience:
2013-to date, Lecturer in Italian, University of Reading
2013-2014, Study Skills Adviser, University of Reading
2017 - PhD in Italian, University of Reading
2010 - MA in Italian Philology, University of Salerno, Italy
2008 - BA in Italian, University of Salerno, Italy
Tutoring Approach:
A one-size-fits-all approach is NOT my thing. Every student has different needs and lessons need to be tailored accordingly.
I also run online and face-to-face Italian language courses for small groups (max 8 students). It's cheaper and my students enjoy it a lot:
BEGINNERS, Thursdays 5-6:30 pm
POST-BEGINNERS, Mondays 5:30-7 pm
PRE-INTERMEDIATE, Mondays, 9-10:30 am OR 5:30-7 pm; Wednesdays, 6:30-8 pm;
INTERMEDIATE, Saturdays 9:15-10:45
We also have some fun with workshops about Italian & Cooking, Italian & Cinema, Italian & Music, Italian Grammar, & Italian Slang: days and time vary to suit participants' needs.
Thanks to my theatrical experience, my lessons for CHILDREN will include the use of 'puppets' and other activities to be decided time by time, according to the topic and tutees' needs.

Personal Description:
Hi, I'm Kate, a full-time, professional tutor based in Petersfield (MA in Medieval and Modern Languages from St John`s College, Oxford). I design tailored learning plans to help students achieve their potential.
In 2021 100% of my A-Level students achieved grade A*.
You can enter for a GCSE or A-Level with me directly, or have extra tuition to support your studies at school, college or university.
I offer private tuition and intensive course programmes to build fluency in Spanish, German, English, Portuguese, Italian, French, Catalan and Dutch.
No matter what your level, your lessons will be full of real-world language and will deliver the content and vocabulary that you need to achieve your goals.
Teaching Experience:
I began my teaching career in 2008 with the Government of Andorra as Lecturer of English.
I have since taught privately and at schools and colleges in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Austria and the UK.
During the last 10 years I have mostly been based in Spain, but have also tutored private clients around Europe. In 2019 I opened a dedicated language school in Petersfield, Hampshire and I now offer online tuition too, with students learning for a mix of personal, professional and academic objectives.
Tutoring Approach:
Each course is created according to the student's needs, and is 100% bespoke.
Your course is designed for you, based on an initial consultation and/or questionnaire to help me to understand your learning style and establish clear goals for you.
Lessons often feel relaxed and fairly casual, because in my experience this is the best way to encourage real communication and thought in your target language!
For more advanced learners, there are plenty of academic resources and authentic materials to allow you to engage fully with your language. Courses can include grammar, linguistics, literature and cultural topics.

Teaching Experience:
I have tutored from high school to university. I had tutees of all ages.
Tutoring Approach:
Besides theory, I will equally focus on practice to instill confidence in the tutees. I will also provide cultural information that complements and supports the learning experience. I will also consider the tutees' suggestions as choosing to learn a foreign language often results from curiosity.

Personal Description:
** Available after 5pm on weekdays**
I`ve completed a PhD in Mathematics at the University of York, UK, and I'm a native Italian speaker with a strong passion for teaching.
I have 15 years of experience with one-to-one Maths tutoring to students from any level of education, and I worked for 4 years as a seminar leader in modules taught in my university department.
Teaching Experience:
I specialise in Mathematics, and I teach GCSE, A-levels, IB, and university students; I have experience with Edexcel and AQA exam boards.
As to university teaching, I specialise in probability, calculus, and mathematical analysis.
I also have experience with teaching Physics to GCSE and A-level students and Italian to adult learners.
I started teaching in 2009 as a Maths a Physics tutor for secondary school students in Italy. I started tutoring in the UK in 2017, both online and in-person, and in 2018 and 2019, I also volunteered at the City of York council as a maths teaching assistant. I've been teaching secondary school and university students for 15 years now.
Between 2017 and 2021, I worked as a seminar leader in the Maths department of the University of York for probability, calculus, and mathematical analysis modules.
In 2019, I started teaching Italian to adult learners who need support with conversation skills and grammar.
Tutoring Approach:
My aim is to make my students confident and independent in their studies.
During the introduction, I meet the student and their guardian so that we can get to know each other. I learn about their needs and aims, and we start planning the lessons.
The plan typically consists of weekly or fortnightly lessons depending on the content the student needs to cover; some students need to focus only on specific topics, while others need support throughout the year.
During the lessons, I focus both on supporting the students with the new material they have to learn and on filling the gaps they might have in order to build a solid foundation. To do that, I use worksheets that are focused on a specific topic and past exam papers that can help students prepare for tests and exams.
I organise my lessons so that the students can think of how to solve exercises while I guide them to the solution, rather than tell them what to do step by step. That way, they develop their own method to understand and study Maths and boost their confidence.
As to my Italian lessons, I base them on practice so that the students can gain more confidence, especially with listening and speaking, while strengthening their basic grammar knowledge. During the lesson, I like to create conversations aimed at practising oral comprehension and production.

Personal Description:
I am an Italian art historian with a strong interest in cultural exchanges.
I am a professional, reliable, and punctual tutor who values mutual respect, politeness, and sensitivity in every interaction. I bring a personal and dedicated approach to my teaching, investing genuine care in each lesson, something my students often find engaging and motivating, as well as supportive, helping them feel more comfortable and express themselves with greater confidence.
Having lived and worked in international contexts, I understand the challenges of adapting to different cultures, especially when language can become a barrier to personal and professional growth. I have experienced these difficulties myself, which allows me to approach my students with empathy and awareness.
I particularly enjoy supporting learners who are studying a language with a clear goal in mind, whether for relocation, work, or personal enrichment. I aim to provide not only linguistic skills but also the confidence and cultural insight needed to navigate real-life situations with ease.
Teaching Experience:
I hold an MA in History of Art from the University of Siena and a PhD in Italian Studies from the University of Birmingham. I developed strong expertise in modern and contemporary Italian culture, along with highly transferable analytical, organisational, and communication skills that I apply directly in my teaching and private tutoring.
I have nine years of teaching experience in Italian language and culture at the University of Birmingham, within the Department of Modern Languages. Alongside this, I now offer private tuition tailored to individual learners. I have taught across a wide range of levels, from beginners to advanced, supporting both language acquisition and cultural understanding. My lessons often integrate texts, images, and audiovisual materials, helping students engage with Italian culture in a dynamic and accessible way.
My academic background also informs my tutoring style: I am used to explaining complex ideas clearly and adapting them to different learning needs. Whether you are studying for exams, learning for personal interest, or aiming to improve your communication skills, I design lessons that are structured, engaging, and responsive to your goals.
Tutoring Approach:
I place my students and their well-being at the centre of everything I do. This teaching philosophy promotes engagement, inclusivity, and independent thinking. I place strong emphasis on developing oral comunication, and interpretative skills, while also helping students build confidence, autonomy, and a deeper cultural awareness alongside their language proficiency.
For me, learning is not just about grammar or vocabulary, but about personal growth, confidence, and the ability to communicate meaningfully. I strive to create a positive, welcoming, and stimulating environment where students feel at ease expressing themselves, taking risks, and learning through interaction and shared experiences.
My approach is flexible and responsive: rather than presenting rules in a rigid, top-down way, I guide students to discover patterns and structures through dialogue, practice, and reflection. I encourage collaboration, whenever possible, and active participation, as I believe that learning is most effective when it is social, dynamic, and connected to real-life contexts.
Moreover, I design thematic lessons, such as art and cinema, to make learning Italian more engaging for students with a genuine interest in these areas.
