Maria

I am a native Italian speaker and fully qualified teacher/lecturer with 18 years of experience teaching a broad range of students of different ages and backgrounds.

I plan my lessons according to the pupil`s learning 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 fun and engaging.

Availability: I offer personalized online programs of 2+ hrs lessons per week. After an initial trial period of two weeks, pupils are expected to commit to at least 3 months. At the end of the three months cycle, the pupil can choose to freeze the fee with another 3, 6, or 12 months contract.

I have an updated DBS.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have been working in formal and private education since 2002 and I truly love what I do. I feel very rewarded by seeing my students achieving their targets and I do my best for my lessons to be relevant, fun, engaging, and inspiring.

I specialize in GCSE exam preparation and have excellent references available upon request. All my pupils so far have achieved grad 9 with 2-6 hours per week (dependent on their needs) during one academic year.

The other area I specialize in is adult learners. I help individuals who need to use Italian for work, are planning to move to Italy, or simply want to be able to order food and understand the language when traveling. Whether they already have a little knowledge of the language or are complete beginners, I know how to help them to achieve their intended goal.
