Verity Ockenden

Native British English Tutor – Conversation, Homework Support & English Literature
Hello! I'm a native British English speaker living in Italy, offering tailored English lessons for students of all ages and levels.

Whether you need help with homework, want to improve your spoken English through natural conversation, or are studying English literature, I can provide patient and supportive lessons online. My aim is to help you build confidence in speaking, improve your understanding, and enjoy learning English.

I graduated in joint honours English Literature & Italian myself, and also have a Masters degree in English Literature. Since I have lived in Italy for 5 years now, I also speak Italian at a good level, so I can explain concepts in Italian when needed, especially for beginners. However, I encourage students to use as much English as possible during our lessons to help develop fluency and confidence.

I offer:

Homework support
English conversation practice
English literature guidance and analysis
Grammar and vocabulary improvement
Exam preparation and general English

Lessons are adapted to your individual needs, whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your communication skills, or simply looking to become more confident in English.

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
