Italian Tutor in Hampstead & Highgate

Private Italian Lessons in NW3 & N6

My Italian tutoring introduces students to the beauty and rhythm of the language while building essential skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I create a relaxed, encouraging environment where learners feel comfortable practising and making progress. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I adapt lessons to your individual needs and learning style.

I provide private Italian tuition for students and adults in Hampstead and Highgate. Lessons focus on developing confidence in grammar, vocabulary and spoken Italian while helping learners gain a clear understanding of how the language works.

With over 23 years of tutoring experience teaching French, Spanish and Italian, I support students preparing for exams as well as adults learning Italian for travel, culture or personal interest.

Refining Accuracy in Italian Grammar and Expression

As learners progress in Italian, accuracy becomes more important, particularly with areas such as definite articles, verb forms (including different tenses of the subjunctive) and sentence construction. I work with students and more advanced adult learners to deepen their understanding so they can use the language with greater precision and control. This is especially valuable for those studying Italian academically or aiming for a higher level of proficiency

Testimonial

My son fell out of love with Italian at the start of Year 11, halfway through his GCSE course and asked me for some help. I found Matthew online in the January of 2024 and my son started 2 sessions a week. These were online and through these sessions my son found his passion for the language. He was predicted a 5 but gained a high 7 mark in his final exams this summer. Thank you Matthew ! My son couldn’t have done it without you and wants to continue his Italian studies in 6th form if possible.
