Learn, play, and grow in Italian — from Reception to A-Level
We offer engaging Italian learning opportunities for children and teenagers, from playful after-school clubs to structured Saturday classes and GCSE / A-Level preparation. Students learn naturally, build confidence, and develop their Italian year after year.
We’re starting with a small number of groups at different ages and levels and plan to grow this area over time. If you don’t yet see the class you need, please get in touch – we shape new groups and clubs in response to the needs of local families, schools and the wider community.
Start speaking Italian with structure and confidence
We offer a friendly and structured course for adults who are complete beginners or want to restart Italian from scratch. From the very first lesson, students are encouraged to speak Italian, helping them build real confidence and communication skills — not just memorise grammar rules.
We keep group sizes small and use engaging materials to support learning in and between lessons. If you’re unsure about your level, we’re happy to offer a quick, informal assessment and guide you to the right course.
Unlock Your Spoken Italian
with Music
A relaxed conversation-based course for adults who already know some Italian but want to gain confidence and finally start speaking. Each session is built around real questions and classic Italian songs — not grammar lectures.
We focus on listening, speaking and vocabulary in a supportive group. You’ll learn to express yourself naturally, with guided practice, fun materials and a strong cultural thread. If you’re unsure about your level, we’re happy to offer a quick, informal assessment.
Find your voice in Italian through short texts and guided writing
A course for lower-intermediate and intermediate learners who feel stuck and want to make real progress. Through short texts chosen at the right level, you’ll expand your vocabulary, understand Italian more naturally, and discover some of today’s most important Italian writers.
With guided creative exercises led by Dott.ssa Cosima Ticali, journalist and writer, you’ll practise using new expressions and styles, helping you grow steadily towards an advanced level.
Personalised lessons tailored to your goals, level and learning style
A personalised course for learners who want structured, high-quality support and measurable progress. Every lesson is adapted to your level and objectives, helping you strengthen your foundations, develop confident communication, and build a deeper understanding of the language.
With expert one-to-one guidance throughout, you’ll apply new skills in meaningful ways and develop your Italian steadily, with a clear path towards your next level.
Learn together in a focused group with structure, conversation and support
A supportive course for learners who enjoy studying with others in a small, focused group. Your tutor shapes each lesson around the group’s needs, offering clear explanations, guided practice and meaningful conversation that make Italian feel more natural and accessible.
With personalised attention and the motivation of learning together — whether with friends, family or new classmates — you’ll push forward as a team, build confidence week after week, and progress steadily towards your goals.

Testimonials
"Of the many ways in which I have studied Italian — in classes, online and on my own — I have found in-person lessons with Daniele Pio Buenza the most enjoyable and effective. He is a master teacher, one who adapts the work to the student's needs and carefully tracks progress in the various aspects of language learning. I feel I learn faster because he focuses the time on what I need to learn in creative and efficient ways. In short, I can recommend Daniele highly to anyone who is serious about learning Italian."
Neal R.
Journalist
"I can thoroughly recommend Italian lessons with Daniele. After completing a short Italian beginners course at a Cambridge college, I saw a poster for LearnIt Cambridge and decided to go to Daniele for one-to-one lessons. It was the best decision I could have made and, as my Italian in-laws can attest, the progress I made in a relatively short space of time has been incredible. Daniele is kind, funny and a brilliant teacher. He is both patient and organised and always keeps track of my progress with both grammar and conversation. He notes my weak areas and uses different activities to help me improve them. He is passionate about teaching and the one hour sessions fly by as they are such fun. I really look forward to our lessons over coffee and Daniele has become a great friend as well as my teacher and I can’t recommend him highly enough!"
"My experience learning Italian with Daniele was great! I arrived at a beginner level and Daniele was quick to notice where I needed work. He came with a study plan that suited both my needs and my time available to dedicate to Italian learning. After a year studying I feel much more confident in engaging in conversation with native speakers."
