Frequently asked questions

What does the IB Italian Language B course involve?

IB Italian Language B is a language acquisition course focusing on listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, as well as cultural awareness. Students engage with a range of topics, from identity and migration to media, global issues, and literature, and must demonstrate competence at SL or HL level through exams and coursework.

How can TutorsPlus support my Italian oral exams?

Our IB Italian tutors provide personalised speaking practice, including role-plays, presentations, and exam-style discussions. We simulate formal interviews and individual oral assessments, offering constructive feedback on fluency, pronunciation, and coherence. Regular practice builds confidence and helps students perform at ease during the real exam. Professional Italian IA teachers and examiners help students get the best results possible.

Do you offer help with written assignments and essay tasks in Italian?

Yes. Tutors guide students through written tasks like formal letters, opinion essays, and literary responses. We focus on structure, register, essay-building techniques, grammar accuracy, and using complex sentence forms. Expert teachers help students review, and polish their written work to meet IB criteria for both HL and SL students.

What grammar and vocabulary support do you provide?

Our tutors tailor lessons to cover complex verb tenses (subjunctive, conditionals, passive forms), idiomatic expressions, and varied vocabulary across IB themes. We use interactive grammar drills, contextualised vocabulary exercises, and applied tasks to ensure students can use language accurately in real-world and exam situations.

How are IB listening comprehension and reading skills addressed?

Listening and reading skills are crucial. Tutors provide audio comprehension exercises using podcasts, news clips, and interviews, as well as authentic written passages from newspapers, short stories, and articles. Students learn to identify key ideas, interpret meaning, answer exam-style questions, and expand comprehension under timed conditions.

Can TutorsPlus support both SL and HL Italian students?

Yes. We provide support for both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL) students. HL learners receive deeper engagement through literary analysis, film studies, and more complex written and oral tasks. SL students focus on strengthening conversational fluency, writing coherence, and solid grammar fundamentals.

How do you help students improve cultural awareness in Italian?

Language is closely linked to culture. Tutors introduce students to Italian literature, film, history, and contemporary issues, fostering cultural literacy and critical discussion skills. This cultural competence strengthens oral and written responses and reflects a richer understanding of target-language contexts.

Is tutoring available online and in person?

TutorsPlus offers online IB Italian tutoring to students worldwide. For learners in Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, and Basel, in-person sessions are available as well. In-home or on-campus lessons provide immersive speaking experiences, while virtual lessons use multimedia tools for interactive practice.

How many tutoring sessions are typically recommended?

The optimal number varies by individual need, but we often recommend 1 session per week, increasing frequency closer to exams or deadlines if needed. This schedule ensures steady progress in fluency, writing, listening, and cultural awareness without overwhelming students’ existing workload.

How do I start IB Italian tutoring with TutorsPlus?

Start by contacting us via website or phone. Just let us know if you’re SL or HL, your level, and any particular strengths or challenges. We’ll match you with a qualified, experienced IB Italian tutor. You can book a trial lesson to assess fit, then set up a tailored tutoring plan aligned with the IB calendar and your personal goals.
