Common questions
Do I need any prior Italian to get started?
No. Many of our students start as complete beginners. Your tutor builds a plan around your current level, whether that's zero Italian or returning after years away from the language.
Are online lessons as effective as in-person ones?
Yes. Our online lessons run live, one-to-one, with the same tutor each week, so the personal attention and structured feedback are the same — you're simply joining from home rather than a shared table.
How much do private Italian lessons cost?
Pricing depends on lesson format and frequency. After a free consultation, we match you with a tutor and confirm a package suited to your goals and budget — there's no obligation until you're ready to book.
How are tutors selected?
Every tutor is a native or fluent Italian speaker with teaching experience, vetted before joining, and matched to you based on your goals, level, and schedule rather than assigned at random.
