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.
Learning is a constructive process requiring active interaction between tutor and student. My approach to private tuition aims at fostering communication in an environment of mutual respect. To this aim, I highly value giving and receiving feedbacks to support achievement of full potential on both sides....
I am passionate about teaching, because I think that passing on knowledge is always incredibly fulfilling. When I teach, I know that I can help others understand concepts that I have mastered. One of my most satisfactory teaching experiences and one that illustrates my approach to tutoring is when I helped my younger cousin improve her English language performance and...
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...
I encourage students to view the subject at hand in the context of their own life, so as to build an appreciation for it outside of a purely academic context, fostering a genuine interest that will hopefully extend throughout their life way beyond the classroom. I try to create tutorials that are structured around the curriculum that needs to be covered,...
As an experienced classroom teacher, having taught at South Hampstead High School for three years, I have quickly established myself as an enthusiastic, approachable and highly successful tutor in London, helping students gain places at their preferred institutions from 7+ to University level. I specialise in German, Italian and French as well as 11+. Â With my PGCE from the Institute...
I think that a teacher's job is to stimulate their students’ interests and help them to acquire new knowledge, not just to fill their heads with lists of facts or prepare them for an exam. I see one-to-one tuition as a great way to make sure that my students are really understanding what I teach them, and that they are...
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.
...I have both had experience tutoring and being a tutee myself and I have found that the most important part of tutoring sessions is being able to create an immediate trusting relationship with a tutee in order for them to open up about their academic problems. This allows for the tutor to be able to ask directed questions at the...
