About Francesca
I am a CLTA (Certificate in Teaching Italian to Adults gained at The International House in Rome) qualified tutor of Italian, with over 10 years' experience teaching Italian to adults of all backgrounds, whether learning individually or as a group. I have therefore developed a good understanding of the problems encountered by students who may be learning a language for the first time, as well as those who may be returning to learning after a long gap, and are therefore not only unused to learning, but may need to somehow fit their studies into the limits imposed by a full-time working and family life.
I have also a very good record of achievement for students studying on my courses and undertaking GCSE examinations over the years.
I use the International House method in written and spoken Italian which involves the use of authentic texts, visual, audio and internet resources, also introducing culture, politics and anything else that is of the student’s interest. This method enables the learners to speak and improve their skills as quickly as possible. Fluency and vocabulary would expand naturally as the course progresses.

My name is Francesca and I am originally from Rome. For the past ten years I have been teaching Italian in London, both privately and at college level.
I've always loved my language and really enjoy passing this love on to someone else by teaching.
My lessons last 2 hours, normally starting with a conversation (with absolute beginners this time is spent in role-playing, games and repetitions), followed by homework correction, grammar studies and listening to pre-recorded Italian conversations.
The lessons are very enjoyable and time goes quickly!
Students reviews
From John
Francesca is organised, careful, insightful and adaptable in her approach to helping me with my Italian. Her preferred way of teaching (me) involves conversing and instructing all the time in Italan, with a focus on grammar as much as on conversation - Francesca really knows when to let small mistakes pass in the interests of encouraging fluency, and when to interject with grammatical rationale. I am enjoying the course very much, and at the same time I find myself quite tired after every session - the balance works very well, I think.
From Paula
Francesca is a very good tutor. I have been with others and they dont come close to how well Francesca teaches. She is so patient, encouraging and structures her classes so well, covering all bases, reading, writing and speaking. I would recommend her very highly.
From Jonathan
Francesca is a dream tutor. She is friendly, professional and efficient. She is absolutely attuned to your particular needs as a student, picks up on them very fast and identifies what it is that you need to improve. And most of all she evidently WANTS to help you improve. I can’t recommend her too highly.
From Silvia
I have been having lessons with Francesca for a few months and she has been able to support me so much in my studies. I am an upper intermediate level. Her lesson's are always engaging and interesting, and challenging also which is important. She is very punctual and easy to contact and responds very quickly. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their italian at any level.

I have known Francesca for years, and she can deliver the most amazing lessons tailored to your needs. Francesca is great at conversing about any topic and bringing the language alive, and at the same time make grammar fun and easy to grasp.
Her passion for what she does and her charming Italian way of being can make you go miles!!
