I teach a Novel Writing course for beginners and intermediate students wishing to learn how to find their voice and write books

Simon is a talented and knowledgeable person and is able to impart his knowledge and skills with care and expertise. He is a caring person as well as being helpful to all persons, including the young and old in society. Others can easily be inspired to do well by his tutoring and teaching effort. His behavioural standards are based on integrity and justness for all. I am confident he will do well as a tutor of languages, skilled in Italian and English, and also skilled in music and creative writing.

Simon is a fantastic tutor. His wealth of knowledge and creativity keep the lessons fun and engaging. His patience and ability to tailor each session to our needs kept us encouraged and motivated at every step. I could not recommend Simon enough!

Simon is a fluent speaker of multiple languages and has been an instructor in multiple disciplines for decades. Anybody who gets him as an Italian teacher would be hard-pressed to do better. I recommend him absolutely.

I highly recommend Simon as a tutor. His ability to build rapport and adapt to my level of learning makes it easier to grasp simple concepts as well as more advanced topics. He provides a well rounded learning environment that caters for learners who are visual and practical learners, like myself. He is patient and has strong communication skills. He uses positive reinforcement that makes me feel more comfortable when I do not grasp things as easily. He is definitely a subject matter expert and I believe he would be a great investment to your journey to learn Italian.

I have known Simon since we were at university together in the 1980s. He was our leader in a music ensemble. Simon is an excellent teacher who always explains the subject well. He is easy to get along with, helpful and patient. I highly recommend his skill as a language teacher who is very knowledgeable. He is always reliable, and his clear communication style puts students at their ease. His students will pass their exams with good results.

Simon is great. He really knows his work and is really, really funny.
Music, Italian, novel writing and English.
Excellent at them all.
I definitely recommend :)

I have no hesitation to recommend Simon as a multi-talented tutor.
Besides his perfect knowledge of Italian as a native speaker, Simon has excelled in his writing skills, and is an established author of 24 books in English.
He is one of the hardest working people I know, and will not hesitate to go the extra mile, always giving of his very best. His quest for excellence has inspired many musicians and students alike, and I cannot wait to see what else he will accomplish. His skills are so wide and varied that anyone who wishes to study under his guidance will most definitely not be disappointed.
His knowledge, combined with his sharp sense of humour will keep you laughing as you learn! Well done on choosing a master in his field of teaching.

Hi, Simon is an extremely talented and educated tutor who takes great pride in his work and is dedicated to teaching. He has taught music, languages and writing for a number of years and has obtained very positive results with his teaching methods. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
