About Martina
Hello! I'm Martina - the little ones call me Tina. I’m an enthusiastic, reliable and dedicated teacher with a passion for languages. I work with children and adults from all walks of life, and I would love to make a positive difference in yours.
I have been teaching and tutoring for many years! I am a Certified Tutor as recognised by Training Qualifications UK, who are OFQUAL regulated. I am also a qualified teacher with Qualified Teacher Status.
I taught French and Italian from Year 7 to Year 13 in state schools/colleges. As a private tutor, I have worked with a broad variety of children and adults on a plethora of subjects, including but not limited to: KS1-KS2 Literacy, GCSE languages, Italian and French for Beginners to Intermediates (CEFR levels A1-B2).
I am experienced in working with a wide range of Special Educational Needs, including dyslexia and autism. I am also a form tutor in a state college so I am always on top of the latest Safeguarding training. Through this role, I was shortlisted for the Outstanding Personal Tutor Award in 2021, coming third nationally. Teaching really is my life and my passion!
My youngest-ever tutee: A 2-year-old with above-average literacy and numeracy
My oldest-ever tutee: An 80-year-old with a passion for French!
I am a bilingual immigrant: born in Italy, moved at age 5 to South Africa and emigrated to England in 2012. I recently became a British citizen and am still getting used to calling myself British! As a native speaker of Italian and English, I have a mostly South African accent. I studied French from the age of 10 onwards, so I am a fluent French speaker. I also studied Zulu and Spanish, and I am currently exploring Standard Arabic.
Brighton & Hove is my home and it is thanks to online learning that I can also provide my services to people around England and abroad. Happy to share my CV, Enhanced DBS check and references, all you need to do is ask.
About the lesson

levels :

- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
My methodology is tailored to the individual's needs. The first step is always for me to ask about the student’s experience, goals, fears and requirements. From there I will tailor a program that suits that specific person, also bearing in mind their age. I can help improve your child's phonics blending, handwriting and spelling, or just boost their reading and writing confidence!
I can set homework and structure the lesson around your needs. I can come to your home in the Brighton & Hove area or teach online via Zoom.
I am available Mon-Fri only. Exact times will depend on location, and the length of each session will depend on the age of the student, but a minimum of 60 minutes is required.
Send me a message to discuss your needs in detail :)

Martina has been tutoring our primary school aged son now for approximately 6 months and we cannot praise her enough! Aswell as really improving his maths and comprehension skills , we are also really delighted how she rewards the childrens learning and encourages areas to work on like patience or reviewing their work. She has a great grasp of children's emotions aswell as the learning aspect . I would strongly recommend her to anyone!
We were extremely happy with the choice we made when employing Martina to tutor our son. Our 7 year old was behind his peers and the coronavirus was potentially widening this gap, given the lack of time and resource we had to manage the rest of the family and work commitments. Martina was very thorough in identifying the gaps in his abilities and was able to manage this alongside another child with whom we shared the lessons with. We had constant feedback and updates on his progress and the work was very well structured and thought out. The resources we needed to ready for the week were all laid out at the weekend, so we just needed to sort this out once a week. Additional homework was provided to complete where possible. We would highly recommend Martina to anyone looking for a tutor and would gladly answer any questions anyone may have.
Manuela & Nabille - HoveHi Martina is tutoring my daughter for french GCSE, we have been bowled over with her organised and methodical approach to the lessons. She has a relaxed style and a positive attitude. I would really recommend Martina. Nicky lawrence-Gravestock
Martina is an extremely competent, dedicated, enthusiastic and knowledgeable all-round educator and teacher - she has been a huge asset to our team and has not only taught students but also assisted with materials development for young learners and teens. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a language teacher or tutor for students of any age.
Martina hasn't taught me but she is a close friend and I can absolutely vouch for her passion and skill. If I were learning a language I can't think who I would rather have teach me!
Martina is enthusiastic, methodical and communicates very clearly. She has a talent for languages, and we have had many a conversation about how fascinating we find various words, phrases and language systems - I know this is not just a job to her, it's something she genuinely loves.
In the time I've known Martina, she has taught herself at least one additional language fluently (Spanish) and started learning a couple more on top of what she already knew. She never stops pushing herself and wanting to learn more.
Most importantly, Martina is incredibly friendly and understanding. As a person she will go out of her way to help people, and I know that she would be no different in teaching a language.
She has provided extensive tuition in the time I have known her, both privately and in schools, giving her a huge variety of experience which I know will have informed her teaching style.I know Martina since childhood and I know that she is a passionate (language) teacher, this is why I asked her to help me on a very important project: my thesis. I wrote it in English and she was very patient and attentive in giving me suggestions and good tips about grammar and prosody. Moreover, she speaks my own mother tongue (Italian) so that she could help me advisedly because she knew Italian’s specific problems in learning English. I can’t recommend her enough for her help!
