ABOUT ME

The limits of my language are the limits of my world

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Your Italian Tutor & Translator

Ciao a tutti e benvenuti! My name is Stefano Santosuosso and am a qualified Italian tutor and translator, director of Italian Services.

I am based in Reading, Berkshire. My clients call me ‘Il Maestro’: I am sure they make fun of me, but I liked it so much the first time I heard it that it is now part of my brand.

I breathe Italian: after my BA and Masters in Italy, I moved to England to pursue a PhD in Italian. I am currently a Lecturer in Italian Studies at the University of Reading and a certified Kahoot online teacher. I am also Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting and my translations are recognised by the Italian Consulate and all public bodies.

I can feel your pain: finding an Italian tutor or translator who, at the same time, is qualified, affordable, and caring is NOT easy. That’s why I never rely on others for my Italian language services: I like to keep my Italian classes small, and I don’t take up all the translation and transcriptions jobs I get offered if I cannot give my best.

You are not simply a number to me. And your needs, your urgency, your struggles are mine, too.

Stefano

Teacher

I am a Lecturer in Italian at the University of Reading, where I have also received my PhD in Italian. I have been teaching Italian Language at all levels since 2010, both in Italy and in the UK. In 2016, I was awarded for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Teaching Excellence’ as part of Italian Studies Department at Reading. Here at Reading University, building on my Diploma in Acting (2004) and theatrical experience, I founded a drama group to teach Italian in a more dynamic and informal setting.

Translator

I am a member of the ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting). I have been translating English into Italian (and vice versa) for academic journals, business companies and members of the public since 2010. I am a certified translator recognised by the Consolato Italiano a Londra.

Transcriptionist

I have been transcribing Italian audio projects for private individuals and some of the biggest companies worldwide since 2013. When I sit at my desk to complete an Italian project, only three words resound in my mind: accuracy, professionalism and speed. The rest does not matter.

Don't trust me, trust them...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well deserved 5-Star review! Dr. Stefano helped us getting our son's birth certificate translated from English to Italian in less than 2 days. If it was not for the actual posting services strikes, we would have received our documents in few days. Also, he replied to our late emails as well going above and beyond to satisfy his customers. Grazie mille Italian Services!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefano translated the UK documents I need for my Jure Sanguinis application at the Italian Consulate in London. The service was quick and professional. Stefano himself is very funny to speak to and a pleasure to have done business with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't recommend Stefano's services more highly. From communication with the customer - extremely fast and very clear - to the speed and quality of the services provided. I sent my certificate for translation and on the same day I received the PDF and the information that it had been posted. Plus, Italian Services offers the best value on the market.
