Marika

Marika has been preparing my son for the Italian GCSE exam. Despite Francis being tired at the end of a school day, Marika is very patient and manages to teach the language with a light touch but determination. In just a few lessons, he has made huge progress. I highly recommend Marika!

Marika has been tutoring our daughter for her Italian GCSE for the past three months. We have found her to be highly professional, conscientious and an excellent tutor. Marika has been kind and patient with our often shy daughter and under her expert tutelage her confidence in her abilities to speak Italian have grown to the point where she recently sat the speaking part of the examination with confidence and ease. Marika now turns to tutoring our daughter for the three other elements of the GCSE and we are sure that she will do an equally excellent job of preparing her. We feel very fortunate to have found Marika, who has gone above and beyond to develop a good relationship with our daughter, building trust and mutual respect which has made the sessions worthwhile. We can highly recommend Marika, she knows her stuff and understands what is required, on top of that she is a lovely person :-)

I've really enjoyed my Italian lessons with Marika. She offers a nice mix of theory and practical, mixed in with interactive learning to keep things fresh. She has a nice sense of humour so the lessons are fun and engaging. Plus she is also keen to give context to the language and its use which is very important. It's very easy to arrange lessons and she is always very organised. I would highly recommend Marika to anyone looking for a true Italian speaker and experienced tutor.

I have had lessons (on zoom) with Marika now for 6 months and I find the lessons really enjoyable, having the right mix of speaking, listening and theory/ grammar.
My Italian has become better, and I now feel much more confident speaking than I was before.
I would highly recommend Marika as a teacher.
