Personal Description:

I am a professional tutor with First Class Honours Degree in Italian offering individual and small group Italian tuition, tailored to meet each student's needs.

Lessons are available to students of all ages and levels (from beginner to advanced). I offer lessons either at my home or in the comfort of your house / workplace within 5 mile radius of St Albans for slightly more than the quoted rate. I currently have appointments available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings from Monday to Friday. I can do Saturdays also.

Furthermore, I have a TEFL Certificate and have taught English as a Foreign Language at Barnfield College. I studied for this Certificate at Luton University and did my teaching practice there during evening classes.

Teaching Experience:

I have recently taught at GCSE level in two local schools - all students gained A* results. I have several small group lessons for the more mature students and am currently tutoring students taking AS and A2

I have in the past taught the Beginners Italian Classes at Oaklands College.
I currently teach several students English as a Foreign Language.

Teaching Approach:

I use a large range of books and worksheets to teach the grammar. I have the last 20 years GSCE and A Level exam papers. I have many novels written in Italian. Realia,tapes, newspaper articles and sometimes films are used. All of my materials for teaching/enjoyment of the Italian Language are available to students should they wish to borrow.

Some of my current students, who have property in Italy bring correspondence they wish to translate to the lessons.

I have also translated legal documents relating to the buying and selling of property in Italy, correspondence regarding parking and speeding fines and bills and invoices.

In 2014 I translated ancestry documentation from the 18th century.

From Theo (5/5): Anne is an engaging and enthusiastic tutor. Clearly her knowledge of Italian is excellent and she has a bundle of tips or aide memoire that help to lodge things in one's mind. I am thoroughly enjoying my lessons with Anne. I would recommend Anne highly, without reservation, to anyone wanting to learn or improve their Italian.
Theo Taylor.

Reply from: Anne: Thank you Theo you are an excellent student and I am amazed at your progress. I really enjoy our time together!! I really hope we can have many more lessons and that your holidays in Italy give you much more pleasure.

From Jennie (5/5): Anne is a real find… our girls look forward to their weekly lessons. She is engaging & friendly, yet keeps them on task, making sure their sessions are kept varied & interesting & tailored to their individual needs. Contact & arrangements with Anne are easy as she always replies promptly to any communications & queries. 'Malto béne!'

Reply from: Anne: Thank you Jennie, I too look forward to our lessons and am sure that together we will obtain great results.

From Rob (5/5): Emilia started her GCSE studies with Anne in early January (having a very basic knowledge of Italian from her Italian heritage) and is already making great progress. And most importantly is having great fun. Anne has an excellent manner combining a strong work ethic (including active learning) with enjoyment. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Reply from: Anne: Emilia is a joy to work with. She is hardworking, very organised in her approach to learning and is progressing really well.

From Julia (5/5): Anne is very friendly and very helpful, loads of patience and very encouraging. Anne gives useful tips for learners, well prepared for her lessons and my daughter enjoys her lessons thoroughly.

From Josh (5/5): Really good, very accommodating and very helpful, thank you very much!

Reply from: Anne: Thank you Josh for your kind remarks. Keep up the good work!

From Maria (4/5): Anne has been a pleasure to work with. I was impressed by her Italian knowledge and she gave me some good advice on grammar and phrases to use in the speaking exam and explained strategies to get better marks. She also went through my work thoroughly, making sure the content made sense. As a result, I got a pass in my intermediate Italian module, despite only having studied the language for two years.

Reply from: Anne: Thank you so much for this lovely message. I am so glad you passed. Well done and all good wishes for the future.
Anne

From Marion (5/5): I cannot praise Anne enough!
She is a superb teacher and her down-to-earth but encouraging approach is making a huge difference top my daughter.
We have withdrawn our daughter from Italian lessons at school because she was becoming more and more stressed and anxious. She will be continuing lessons with Anne and I fully expect her to achieve a good grade at GCSE - all down to Anne's expert tuition and encouragement.

Reply from: Anne: Thank you so much for this feedback. Your daughter is a great girl who is progressing well. I fully expect her to achieve a good grade in her GCSE and will be supporting her all the way.

From Edward (5/5): Amazing teacher, wish I could have taken Anne with me to my new living location.

Reply from: Anne: Thanks Edward for the feedback. I wish you continued success with your Italian studies. You were a very commited student who arrived on time, ready to learn and were always a pleasure to teach.
Anne

From Nathalie (5/5): My daughter is just over a month with Mrs. Anne . She loves being tutored by her and has made already progress as she starting to use italian expressions and words at home already which is brilliant.

From Wendy (4/5): Thank you Anne you were very helpful and accomodating however after the first lesson we could see that it was going to be possible to take up the tuition for a number of logistical reasons.
best wishes

Reply from: Anne: I am sorry that you felt it too far to travel but wish your daughter all the best with her Italian studies. She certainly seemed keen and attentive. I am sure she will do well. If I can help in the future do not hesitate to contact me again.
Anne

From J (5/5): Great. Thanks for helping me sort out the lessons! And everything else!

Reply from: Anne: Thanks for paying so promptly. I am looking forward to teaching your husband. Anne
