The ability to speak a language can open many doors but getting a good grasp on a foreign language can often be difficult. Tavistock Tutors recognises that it’s more helpful for students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the language, rather than just seek to pass an exam.
Our tutors are either native speakers or hold degrees in Italian from top universities. Our bespoke tuition will provide a unique approach to best support your child’s needs in ensuring they understand the fundamental elements of Italian for their GCSE exams. Their personalised sessions will provide enjoyable learning and ensure rapid progress from day one.
Spend time improving your Italian and building your confidence in the supportive environment of Tavistock Tutors.
Tutoring should be tailored to the needs of the student because all students are different. However, whilst my approach is flexible, there are 4 things which I always try to bring to my sessions. My approach is interactive – it is vital to be engaging. It is thorough, to make sure nothing is covered in too little detail – for...
My lesson plans are completely tailored to fit the individual student. I am experienced in many different teaching techniques, to suit any style of learning. Education should be a holistic process, not just a case of teaching to the exam, so I like to encourage students to look at the wider context of the subjects they are studying, and relate...
I believe that the most important thing when tutoring is… tutoring is not school! In my ten-year experience, I have seen so many pupils alienated from the joy of learning because of school systems that privilege exams results over a true understanding of the subject. Exams are an important part of a student life, but it is also very important...
Every student is different. Depending on their specific skills, goals and previous experience, I develop a customised scheme of work, track their progress and ensure their aims are successfully reached. In terms of language, I can also address specific topics, such as pronunciation, grammar and literature.
...As a polyglot, I am extremely passionate about language learning, one of my favourite hobbies. My considerable experience as a learner means I know common pitfalls and difficulties for students, as well as how to explain these and break them down in simple terms. My teaching style therefore revolves around enthusing my student by transmitting my passion for languages to them....
If you enjoy a subject and believe that you have potential then you are more likely to work hard at it and gain good results, which is why it is so important to make classes enjoyable and build the student’s confidence. I try to do this by tailoring my classes to their interests and ensuring that the student recognises their...
Given the interdisciplinary nature of my studies I feel comfortable tutoring a range of methodological fields across the humanities and social sciences, along with languages I have fluency in; Italian, French, Spanish and Arabic. I am a passionate believer in the joy of learning and the pursuit of knowledge, and I will aim to transmit independent thinking and passion for the...
I like to engage with the student, trying to understand what are the main concerns with the subject that is studied and where the struggle lies. I try to create example from real life situation, to show the nexus that exists between the subject studied and the everyday life. Very often students struggle as they can't see why it should...
Learning isn’t simply about passing an exam, it’s there to help you in life and that’s my approach to teaching. I make sure my students see how they might use the skills they learn in real life situations to engage and enthuse- and always make lessons as lively as possible!...
Having only recently finished my undergraduate degree in languages, I remember how important it is to feel at ease in the exams knowing you have had enough practise, but also how tedious it can be going over and over grammar rules and lists of vocabulary. So, while I am more than happy to go over anything that a student has...
