With over 23 years of tutoring experience, I explain how the language works so that learners can recognise patterns in grammar and use Italian more naturally and accurately. I also relate Italian grammar to English grammar when appropriate.
Students I teach often live in nearby areas such as Hampstead Garden Suburb, East Finchley and North Finchley, and lessons can support both school examinations and conversational language learning.
Italian can present particular challenges for students, especially with verb forms, agreement and how different tenses are used in context. Many of these structures are similar to those found in French and Spanish, which can help learners recognise patterns more easily.
Lessons include regular speaking practice alongside grammar work, so students become more confident when writing, speaking and understanding Italian.
Building a Strong Foundation in Italian
Italian is often enjoyable to begin, but both students and adult learners can quickly run into difficulty with grammar, particularly around articles, verb forms (including impersonal verbs) and sentence structure. I focus on helping learners build a clear and structured understanding from the outset, so they feel confident applying what they learn rather than relying on guesswork. This works well for beginners as well as adults returning to language learning and looking to make steady progress.
