Personal Description:
I am a passionate and dedicated Private Tutor of Italian as a Foreign Language, with Italian as my mother tongue. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Translation Studies and a Master's degree in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language. I thrive on new challenges and take pride in helping my students achieve their language goals with personalized, engaging lessons.
Teaching Experience:
With many years of teaching experience in both Italy and the UK, I have worked with students of any levels, from beginners to advanced. I specialize in helping students prepare for GCSEs and University exams, providing tailored support to ensure their success.
My experience span a range of learning needs, and I take pride in adapting my teaching methods to suit each student's unique goals. Whether preparing for exams or mastering the language for personal growth, I offer comprehensive lessons that build confidence and skills in Italian.
Teaching Approach:
My teaching approach is friendly, outgoing, and focused on creating
A warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages relaxation and facilitates learning. I believe a comfort environment is key to helping students feel confident and engaged. In my lessons, I primarily speak Italian, simplifying the language at lower levels (when needed) to ensure clarity and understanding. I keep students motivated through a variety of activities, including role-plays, listening exercises, games, and songs, making learning both fun and effective. I also take time to understand each student's reasons for learning Italian, allowing me to tailor my lessons to their specific needs and help them achieve theri goals.

She has not only boosted Tiffany's confidence but has also made the process enjoyable and highly effective. Tiffany has learned so much quickly and loves her weekly hour with Monica. We truly couldn't recommend her enough—she’s exceptional!
There’s still a lot of work ahead of me in my Italian language journey, but I highly recommend her as a teacher for students of the Italian language.
Grazie Monica! Ci sentiamo!
We fit lessons in and around my work schedule and, since our lessons, I've progressed from understanding a few words here and there to being able to have proper conversations in Italian.
Monica is pleasant, easy going, well organised, and clearly cares about the work she is doing. Monica's starting approach includes an introduction to the basic vocabulary as well as the structure of Italian; helping you understand the nuisances of the language so you can learn quickly and efficiently. From here, she encourages your growth in understanding by gradually guiding you through more complex exercises.
As well as providing a comprehensive lesson plan, Monica sets homework which is specific to your current stage of learning to reinforce what you have learnt. She marks then marks the homework, provides comments, and sends the homework back to you outside of lesson time to help support you. Furthermore, she is always available to contact if you have any questions or need help with anything.
She is an excellent teacher and a pleasure to work with. "
Grazie ancora.

We are slow learners and Monica is flexible in the speed with which she teaches us, providing teaching material that suits all our requirements.
We can thoroughly recommend her to anyone thinking of learning this beautiful language.
Working with people like you, passionate and consistent is what makes me love my job. And you are not slow learners!
