Personal Description:

Highly Qualified Italian & French Tutor
I am an Italian native speaker with a First Class Master’s Degree in Languages and Literatures (English and French). I have lived in the UK for 16 years.
I offer professional & bespoke tuition classes.
Ideal for adults wanting to learn Italian / French or school students (including GCSE’s and A levels).

Teaching Experience:

While I was studying at university in Italy, I gave English tutoring lessons to Italian primary and secondary school students. I then moved to the UK in 2004 and have been teaching Italian and French here for the past 7 years.

Teaching Approach:

Both my BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures and my Master’s degree in International Communication (English and French) have given me a solid knowledge or grammar, syntax, orthography and phonetics as well as teaching techniques. Having studied Italian and Latin grammar and syntax at high school too, I can confidently say my understanding of the grammatical foundations of Italian, French and English is strong.

I provide all material, such as conversations, grammar rules and exercises, reading comprehensions, translations and homework.
I tailor my approach to suit my students's requirements, e.g including more or less grammar, useful phrases, lessons on culture and even games for the youngest or less young.

I usually send students some homework to do in between classes.
I charge £25 per hour for priva**Contact Detail Removed**ssons and £8 per hour for a group class.

From Jordan (5/5): Lovely person with a lot of patience. Being taught by Roberta has been a pleasure from the start. Would highly recommend her.

From Kirstie (5/5): I’ve been learning with Roberta for a month now and I’m really loving it!! I’m learning as a hobby so the learning has been relaxed and very natural and follows our conversations and questions, then circling back to the lesson structure. I’ve visited Italy since starting with Roberta and even after this short time, found that what I’ve learnt has been incredibly practical. I’m really excited to continue the lessons which have been so much fun and Roberta is so friendly :)

Reply from: Roberta: Thank you Kirstie, it's a pleasure to teach you!

From Ruth (5/5): Roberta has been great from the get go, communicating and responding quickly, organising sessions and zoom links all accordingly. Roberta is very approachable and friendly and more than happy to explain things multiple times when I don't understand! She uses a range of aids to facilitate learning and has a very friendly approach. I very much enjoy my lessons with Roberta and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to grasp the Italian language!

Reply from: Roberta: Thank you Ruth, I really enjoy teaching you!

From Sarah (5/5): I would highly recommend Roberta as she is an superb teacher! She kind, understanding, patient and passionate about Italian, which are qualities that I really value in a teacher and she helps you to build your confidence in the language. I particular like the visual images she uses as it really helps me remember the situations that we are talking about and I also really love learning about grammar! Her lessons are one of my favourite parts of the week!

Reply from: Roberta: Thank you Sarah, it’s a pleasure teaching you!
Roberta.

From Olga (5/5): My son aged 9 has both French and Italian tuition with Roberta and he is very enthusiastic! He looks forward to the lessons with Roberta. She is very nice and punctual too. A pleasure

Reply from: Roberta: Thank you for the nice comment :-)

From Jim (5/5): Now 4 French lessons with Roberta. She is helping us through our GCSE after poor support from an online provider. We are a while out of education! She understands the challenges we face, given the changes to English teaching (which was different in the past), which also puts us on the back foot a little. She is patient, knowledgeable and keeps us engaged. We get homework, to keep us ticking over and learning. All good!

Reply from: Roberta: Thank you!! :-)

From Phillip (4/5): 3 lessons in to Beginner French with Roberta so far. Weekly cadence of online sessions is working well for me and Roberta is very good at putting you at ease, flexible to your learning needs and pace.

From Orla (5/5): I would definitely recommend Roberts. Even after one lesson with her I am feeling a lot more confident and prepared!

From Lu (5/5): Olivia has been instantly welcomed and engaged in Italian with Roberta's enthusiastic and energetic teaching style.
Every moment of the lesson is used to look at new vocabulary and phrases with varied and interesting online resources.
At this difficult time of lock-down her weekly lessons with Roberta are something which my daughter looks forward to and this is thanks to Roberta's patience and understanding of a 9 year old's ability; long may my daughter's enthusiasm continue!

From Jane (5/5): Roberta is a highly professional tutor, and able to adapt her approach to the individual's requirements which was particularly important to me. She adds value throughout each session with additional information and examples over and above the teaching materials. The combination on online interaction and phone connection is working well.

From Jennifer (5/5): Great communication. Tnank you
