English and Italian classes (speaking, reading and writing)

From 35.95 $ /h

Being Anglo-Norwegian but having grown up in Italy I realise how fortunate I am to have had a bilingual upbringing. Mastering a new language presents many benefits from strengthening cognitive abilities to providing more job opportunities or simply making travel easier and more fun.

My courses in English or Italian are tailor-made to suit the student's needs and expectations. Creative and interesting classes will cover the fundamental language skills of speaking, reading and writing. Students can work on improving their English or Italian in their field of study or interest. Below are some of the skills students can acquire in my classes:

Speaking - improve pronunciation and practice conversation strategies

Reading - develop vocabulary and reading strategies

Writing - confidently use grammatical patterns and sentence constructions to write clear, coherent and well developed paragraphs

About Me

Born to Anglo-Norwegian parents I grew up in Italy in a trilingual household. Confidently speaking more than one language has undoubtedly made me more open minded and has given me educational and work related advantages.

Education

2016- 2019 Honours Bachelor degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences at University College Maastricht - Upper Second-Class Honours

2019- 2020 Master degree in Cultural Heritage Studies at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UCL) - Distinction

Experience / Qualifications

I began tutoring English to Italian children and young adults when I was 16, adjusting the lessons to the age and interests of my students and coming up with fun activities to make
the experience more enjoyable and effective.

When I moved to the Netherlands for my undergraduate degree I tutored English and Italian to students of all ages and nationalities.

In 2018 I worked at a translater and on-site interpreter (Italian to English, English to Italian) for a Norwegian reality television show, På tur Med Dag Otto.

I have five years of experience as a French tutor with young teenagers and adult, from France and from abroad. My students would say about me that I am kind, patient, dedicating but demanding. You'll have to practice seriously but I'll make sure not make you feel overwhelmed.

You'll learn to speak, read and understand the French, and will have the opportunity to dive into the French culture and literature. If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry you'll soon be able to speak fluently.

This class is for any academic ability.
My teaching methodology requires me to provide an initial assessment of my client, ask them what they are struggling with.
Then set up a lesson plan with them, then tutor them accordingly.
Website links may be provided as homework as well as worksheets and additional studies is required.
Lessons will be direct and will require focus.
Come ready to learn.

English Literature is an essential skill used for English gcse which I have spent a lot of detail looking in to and I - myself changed my own gcse grades drastically using a lot of time and grade specific research. I specialise very confidently in Macbeth, an Inspector calls and Christmas Carol, however research for other topics will be covered in detail before we begin sessions. I intend on supporting my students with mindmaps, pushing them to explore deeper meanings which the examiner may have not heard and also grading exam answers. I want to make this as affordable as I can as I myself was once in this position and any student is capable of drastically changing their grade. I am very passionate about this subject and want other people to see the joy in it too. We can also cover love and relations poetry or war/conflict.

Sociology is another subject I’m extremely passionate about and genuinely enjoy, I intend on going through exam papers and making mind maps and analysis on key sociologist and theories. I studied family, research methods and crime at gcse and (currently) second year on sociology A level studying education, family and households and crime this year.

English is my native language, I read a lot of poetry and have taught some family members English in our own ESOL style type of class so I am willing to help anybody else who may be struggling

English Literature is an extremely important and, for many students, compulsory part of education. This class is about improving the skills needed for close, thematic reading of both old and more contemporary texts. Using overarching themes found across literature, as well as giving suggestions for other relevant texts, this class aims not only to help pass any exams, but to also enrich your understanding and appreciation of the subject.

Outside of exams, especially for any adults, this class can be a more freeform discussion of novels or poetry for anyone who wants to enjoy literature on a deeper level but isn't quite sure where to start or what avenues of thought to explore.

I am here to support children in their current studies of English or Maths at GCSE level or lower. I am happy to support these skills for younger children varying on their age range.
I have experiance tutoring children in year 11, and older. I have also had experiance engaging with children with disabilities and tutoring them indevidually. I would be happy to teach someone that may require extra help in this way.
Feel free to contact me about any questions you may or may not have.

I have trained students and adults for English tests, particularly for IELTS and TOEFL for over a year. I also tutored students in science and basic math, helped them with their homework and provided them with a comfortable space to ask questions, clear doubts and have fruitful discussions.

I have mastered the exam techniques you need to pass your GCSE first time with no stress. We will not just look at the content needed to pass but also skills like time management to make sure the exam is passed with ease efficiently. I work with students at any level with any special needs and my lessons are tailored for every individual student.

Close analysis is something you will need whether you are taking English literature exams or whether you are thinking of writing your own poems. It always helps to know how to analyse one first. In this class, you will learn key tips on how to improve your close analysis, specifically working on spotting and defining literary devices while also making links to how they function. Focusing on the structure, tone, and narrative voice, you will learn how to dissect a poem, speak about it, or write about it, effectively adding a new layer to your argument. It will be an accessible and concrete way to address these abstract concepts of literature, helping you further your knowledge in the world of poetry.

I have been teaching Italian for more than 30 years. I started in Milan, I then went to San Francisco and now here in London. My first lesson with you would be to assess your level and start speaking Italian by writing in the chat if we are on Skype or on your notebook if we meet face to face. I use also paintings to explore vocabulary and if you live here in London, we would meet at the National Gallery for example and explore the Italian language through what we see in the painting.

I am an experienced tutor with 3+ years of experience teaching English Literature and Language to a GCSE, A level and university level. I graduated with a degree in English Literature and Language from the University of Oxford in 2022.

My specialisms are in feminist literature, Shakespeare poetry, 20th century theatre and literature, though I generally cater for all texts classically covered on GCSE and A Level syllabuses.

Academic enrichment and preparation for University - Oxbridge in particular - is also something I tutor. I can offer close support in tailoring personal statements for a prospective student's application.

I have over four years experience as a self-employed tutor, specialising in the tuition of English language and literature.
Subjects taught:
• English language (all levels)
• English literature (all levels)
• History (KS3 - A Level)
• Economics (KS3 - GCSE)
• Mathematics (KS3 - GCSE)
• Oxbridge admissions process
• SATs
• 11+ examinations
I also have experience as an English teacher working in a private school in Italy, preparing students for Trinity centre oral examinations.

Welcome to English Language and Literature! This dynamic class is designed to enhance your reading, writing, speaking, and analytical skills. Together, we will explore a variety of literary works, from classic novels to contemporary poetry, while developing an appreciation for diverse perspectives and storytelling. You’ll strengthen your grammar and vocabulary, craft creative and persuasive writing, and engage in thoughtful discussions that deepen your understanding of language and communication. Whether we’re analysing themes, writing essays, or sharing ideas, this class is a space to grow as a confident and critical thinker in the world of words.

As an English Literature tutor, I will help students improve their understanding and skills in literary analysis, reading comprehension, and essay writing. I am most familiar with the AQA teaching syllabus. Ultimately, I want to provide personalised support to help students:

-Understand classic and contemporary literary works
-Develop critical thinking and analytical skills
-Prepare for GCSE, A-Level, and other academic exams
-Improve essay writing techniques

Specifically this might include support with some of the following:

-Breaking down literary texts
-Analysing themes and literary devices
-Practicing close reading techniques

I am an ex-Oxbridge student (I studied at Somerville College, Oxford, 2020-2023) offering tutoring and preparation aid for anyone thinking of applying to Oxford or Cambridge. I offer help getting to grips with the ELAT paper as well as help understanding how to prepare for your Oxbridge interviews. We can even start from the beginning and work on your personal statement.
Oxbridge applications have a very specific style to them that is often quite different to the teaching of English at most secondary schools. With specialised tutoring from a successful applicant, you can feel more confident about this process! My current success rate with Oxbridge applicants is 100%, however it is important to say that entry can never be guaranteed.

I can teach all periods of English Literature - but particularly Shakespeare and Classical Drama - having a BA from Oxford and also an MA in Russian and East European Literature from UCL. Also poetry at all levels. Also a RADA trained actor who can help with voice work and public speaking. Am particularly interested in working with older/mature students too.
