An Italian tutor is a foreign language teacher that specializes in teaching Italian. In this career, your responsibilities include developing lesson plans and curriculum to teach the foreign language to either high school or college students. You may work for a school or tutor an individual student privately. If you work privately, you do not necessarily need to create lesson plans yourself, as you typically assist the student with their school’s curriculum. Generally, your duties as an Italian tutor are to ensure a student is able to speak and write the Italian language with proficiency.
