This is something that doesn’t happen in our online and in-presence language classes because they are tailor-made for you. Our lessons are conducted exclusively by passionate, qualified language tutors. This ensures that you’ll enjoy every step of the journey, instead of feeling bored at the mere thought of sitting in a classroom. From an investment perspective, you’ll feel like you’ve spent your money wisely and received the best possible value. Get in touch to start your journey.
Discover a new level of confidence with our personalised approach to overcoming language anxiety. Our skilled tutors excel at fostering a supportive environment, empowering you to overcome psychological barriers to language learning.
Bid farewell to language anxiety and welcome a renewed enthusiasm for learning. With us, each lesson transforms into an exciting journey of growth and progress!
You have the freedom to choose the time and location for your lessons. In today’s hectic world, who doesn’t have a busy schedule? Opting for private lessons grants you the significant advantage of scheduling your lessons according to your convenience. Our tutors are highly flexible and committed to accommodating your busy schedule. Additionally, in Greater London, we provide in-person lessons at your preferred location, whether it’s your home, office, or favourite café.
The learning experience in a one-to-one or small group class differs significantly from that in a large group setting. Private lessons afford you the opportunity to engage with your tutor or group members in a familiar and comfortable setting, thereby alleviating the pressures often associated with uncertainty. This conducive atmosphere fosters deeper connections and more focused attention, enhancing your overall learning journey and allowing for personalized instruction tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Raffaella teaches Italian to my 7 and 4 year old together. She teaches in a fun and interactive way fully immersing them in the language rather than reverting to English translation. Their concentration spans inevitably vary but she is very good at changing the temple and medium of learning to keep it dynamic and engaging. Highly recommended!
I’ve studied Spanish with Raffaella on one to one basis. As a busy person it was the best solution for me and also because I am not a big fun of studying in big groups. Raffaella is very hard working and she was very patient with me as at times I had mood just to give up. Thanks to her repeating things over and over again and taking the time to explain everything step by step my Spanish improved immensely. Her learning is fun and she makes you feel at ease. I´m glad I´ve met Raffaella and I would recommend her and Languages Alive to anyone who wants to learn on their own.
Raffaella is very helpful and I have really enjoyed my Italian lessons that she has organised with Silvia; I have learnt a lot and the classes are fun and engaging. I look forward to continuing to learn Italian through Languages Alive!
The children really enjoyed making tagliatelle with you and it was something they talked about for the rest of the term! Thank you for also teaching them a lot of Italian vocabulary. Thank you Raffaella!

I absolutely recommend Languages Alive to anyone interested in learning Italian. I’ve been taking weekly lessons with Raffaella since August 2020 and I can’t say enough good things about her as a teacher and her lesson content. She is a supportive and engaged teacher and her instructions are always clear. My listening comprehension and my confidence to speak is improving weekly and I always look forward to my lessons.
I enjoyed the lessons I took. Combining learning Italian and cooking made learning more fun. Sometimes it is hard to stay motivated and I found the material very helpful. She is very prompt in replying to any questions I have and the material was very well organized.
What a wonderful programme, that not only helps to improve Italian language skills but teaches authentic Italian recipes at the same time. Highly enjoyable. Grazie mille Raffaella!
I have just completed a virtual cooking lesson with Raffaella. It’s an extremely clever way of learning Italian without realising you are learning and is a lot of fun.
Lucky enough to have five sessions with Raffaella who made each one an occasion.Her gnocchi and Nonna’s ciambellone are becoming family favourites.
Raffaella has been teaching my two young children (ages 6 & 4) Italian and she is amazing with them. She is patient and knows how to keep their attention. Loving our experience with her.

We went back for our second evening at Languages Alive a couple of weeks ago. There was a large group of us there but it worked just as well as with the smaller group we had the time before.
Raffaella is a great teacher full of energy and enthusiasm as well as being a great cook 🙂 While you don’t cook a dish entirely by yourself there is plenty of participation in all stages of preparation and also plenty of encouragement to get involved and speaking Italian.
Definitely a great evening out!
My 6 year old daughter loves Italian classes with Raffaella. She loves the recipes and cooks also outside the class. During half term I took Sofia to the London Aquarium and she had to tell Raffaella about her visit. Sofia made me list in Italian all the fish she saw at the Aquarium so she could tell Raffaella about it. The classes are truly excellent and my little 2 year old would like to join the fun too! But has to wait a few more years.
Languages Alive have been leading our After School Cooking/Language Club for three terms now. An exciting and innovative way of learning a language whilst preparing delicious regional dishes. Raffaella is an enthusiastic and passionate teacher whose first priority is to the children, this is evident how she leads and presents the class. The children thoroughly enjoy it. We look forward to a long and happy relationship with Languages Alive.
‘Hola Amigos!’, I had a couple of individual lessons with Vincente, a Spanish tutor and I found him to be very prepared for classes and creative in his approach. We focused on Business Spanish and Vincente provided some good newspaper articles on relevant Business related topics. I rate Languages Alive very high and can recommend this company truly.
My language lessons with Raffaella were absolutely fantastic and my knowledge of the Italian language increased exponentially from them. Spending a lot of time during the lesson talking in Italian with Raffaella meant that I experienced a steep learning curve and my language skills improved much faster than I had experienced in the past in large group classes. The lessons themselves were very interesting as well, with a nice mix of language and culture. Overall I was extremely pleased with the experience!
It has been a priority for us that our children speak languages outside of their mother tongue. We strongly feel that children who speak additional languages will interact with, and understand, others more thoughtfully. Moreover, and more specifically in our case, it has been extremely important for us to maintain our family’s heritage. Our children’s mother and grandparents before her, were raised with Italian as their first language. Additionally, being Italians, cooking and food are extremely important! Thus, Languages Alive was the perfect recipe to help our children learn Italian, and have fun in the process. As a result, our children’s understanding of Italian improved dramatically during the process. Not only in their understanding and comprehension, but in their ability to communicate. Success here was due not only to the Languages Alive programme, but to the exceptional leadership and communication skills of Raffaella Palumbo. She not only was engaging and interesting, our children adored her, and were thus even more interested in the subject matter. In summary, we recommend Raffaella and Languages Alive highly.
Interazione, questo era quello che cercavo nel percorso di studio per mia figlia. Non il solito corso di inglese che sembra una gita fuori porta. Finalmente questa esperienza è riuscita a dare quel qualcosa in più che cercavo da mamma compulsiva nell’identificare “la migliore scuola di inglese”. Ciò è stato possibile grazie alla professionalità di Raffaella che si è impegnata in primis con i ragazzi perché veramente riportino a casa un bagaglio che non sparisce dopo due mesi e poi con noi genitori fornendoci la massima tranquillità nell’affidargli i nostri figli.
Sono stata lo scorso anno a Londra per migliorare il mio livello di inglese e Raffaella ha rappresentato un supporto fondamentale per la ricerca di un corso valido. Ho frequentato l’Oxford House College e mi sono trovata molto bene, a partire dal prezzo vantaggioso e dalla qualità del servizio ricevuto. Ho frequentato il college per 3 mesi, ho ottenuto la certificazione linguistica ed ho avuto la possibilità di conoscere persone fantastiche provenienti da tutto il mondo. In sintesi: un’esperienza che consiglio assolutamente a tutti di fare!
Raffaella mi ha offerto la possibilità di frequentare un ottima scuola di inglese a Londra, facendomi usufruire anche di uno sconto. É stata sempre disponibile e gentile nell’aiutarmi in ogni cosa. La consiglio come Languages Alive e consiglio anche la scuola d’inglese Oxford House College dove ci sono insegnanti preparati ed eccellenti dove ti insegnano inglese con vari modi di apprendimento: dal fare giochi a studiare dal libro.
Un’esperienza di crescita e di arricchimento per mio figlio. Ottima accoglienza in famiglia ed a scuola e soprattutto lodevole ed apprezzabile la serieta’ , l’ impegno e la dedizione di Raffaella Palumbo, senza la quale la vacanza studio non si sarebbe realizzata.
Le migliori scuole a prezzi assolutamente vantaggiosi e con tutta l’assistenza possibile da parte di Raffaella!
BELLISSIMA ESPERIENZA a Londra !! grazie a Raffaella Palumbo sempre disponibile e di grande aiuto nella scelta Delle scuole e Delle soluzioni più comode e convenienti. Sicuramente da consigliare !
