You understand English. The problem is speaking it.
Job interviews, client calls, oral exams, presentations. We work on the moments where you have to get the language out, not just understand it.
In the EF EPI 2025 index Italy ranks 59th of 123: reading holds up, speaking and writing are the weakest skills. Source: EF EPI 2025 ↗

"I started learning English at six, in Turkey, with a teacher who made us repeat the same ten sentences until they came out without thinking. At the time I thought it was torture. Then I learned Italian and French as an adult and realised she was right. When you make a mistake I know which structure in your own language is pulling you there. A native speaker can rarely tell you that."

How it works
From the first voice note to your goal.
🎙️
You send me a voice note
60 seconds in English on WhatsApp. Within 24 hours you get my assessment of your spoken English. Free.
📞
Free call
20 minutes to understand your goal and your deadline.
🔍
Full diagnosis
In the first session I assess speaking, writing and comprehension with a test and a conversation.
🎯
A programme with a deadline
Sessions built around your date: the interview, the university requirement, the public-exam test.
No fixed programme. In sessions I use three tools, chosen based on where you are:
🎯
Real tasksIf the goal is an interview, we do interviews. Not exercises about interviews.
🧩
Phrases, not wordsReady-made blocks. So you're not building the sentence word by word while the other person waits.
📱
Content +1Between one session and the next, stuff you actually care about, one step above your level.
Spoken-English diagnosis · free
Send me a 60-second voice note.
Answer one question in English on WhatsApp. Within 24 hours I tell you where your speaking stands and the three things holding it back.
Free. No sign-up, no call.
The question
"Tell me about something you're working on right now — at work or at university — and what makes it difficult."
Don't prepare. Really: better if you don't. I want to hear how you speak, not how you read.

In development
Practice Mode — coming.
We're building a tool to practise between sessions: conversation, grammar correction and vocabulary, available 24/7. When it's ready, anyone on an active programme will find it here.
💬 Conversation
✏️ Grammar correction
📖 Vocabulary
Not live yet. We don't sell it until it works.
Programmes
A date on the calendar. A programme to get there.
Same method, same person. Two price lists, because a university language requirement and a job interview are not the same urgency.
Entry point · book directly
Launch price · first 15 students
Diagnosis + plan
60 minutes online. I assess speaking, writing and comprehension with a test and a conversation, and you leave with a written plan: what to work on, in what order, in how many sessions.
Every programme starts with the Diagnosis + plan (€40), deducted from the price if you continue. If the diagnosis says a programme isn't right for you, I tell you before — not after.

Job interview
2 weeks · 4 sessions · +~4 hrs/wk
Your interview simulated, with your sector's questions, until you can hold it.
Works if: you already manage in written English and freeze when you have to answer out loud.

Client calls
4 weeks · 6 sessions · +~3 hrs/wk
Your real meetings, simulated. Plus the thing that matters most: what to say when you haven't understood.
Works if: you can already follow a meeting in English but say far less than you think.
Doesn't work if: you can't yet follow a conversation at normal speed — that needs other work first.

🏢
Public exam — B2 test
5 weeks · 6 sessions · +~4 hrs/wk
Test format and administrative vocabulary, for anyone who has the B2 and has to prove it on a fixed date.
Works if: you have the B2 and you need to hold it on the day of the test.
Doesn't work if: you still have to get there — six sessions won't take you there, and I won't sell them to you.
📍 In Rome, in-person sessions are available on request.
You don't have to choose now.
Message me with the programme you're interested in and your deadline. I reply within 24 hours and we work out together whether it's the right one — or whether you need a different one.
60-minute sessions, all 1-on-1. Pro-rata refund on unused sessions. Not sure which programme you need? The call is free — we'll work it out together.

Caner Ufuk Yapalı
TEFL-certified English tutor · Rome
I learned English as a child, alongside Turkish. Italian and French as an adult, and I remember that part well: I know what it means to build a language piece by piece and to feel stupid while doing it. I do the initial diagnosis myself, write the plan and personally follow the programmes. If your goal doesn't fit the time you have, I tell you before taking your money.

One thing you should know
Gofrom Tutoring has just started.
You won't find reviews below because I don't have real ones yet and I'm not going to invent them. The first students get a launch price and my full attention. The first real words appear here as soon as they exist.

Free call
Let's talk for 20 minutes.
You tell me the deadline and what's blocking you. I tell you honestly whether I can help and in how many sessions. If not, I tell you where to go.
You message me on WhatsApp: what your goal is and when the deadline is.
I reply within 24 hours with two possible times for the call.
We work with people who have a goal in English and a deadline: university students who need to pass a language requirement or leave for Erasmus, public-exam candidates with a B2 test, professionals who have to hold an interview or a client call. We don't do general courses or English for children.
Why do I have to do the "Diagnosis + plan" before a programme? +
Because every deadline programme only works from a certain level upward, and I don't want to sell you six sessions that can't give you what you need. In 60 minutes I assess speaking, writing and comprehension with a test and a conversation, and hand you a written plan. If the programme makes sense, you take it and the €40 is deducted from the price. If it doesn't, I tell you and propose a longer programme or point you elsewhere — and the €40 stays for the diagnosis and plan you received.
How much do I have to work between sessions? +
Six sessions on their own produce little. Six sessions plus four hours a week for a month makes about twenty-two hours, and that's the quantity that shifts something. Every programme states the expected hours. Part of the result depends on you, and I'd rather say so now.
How are you different from Wall Street English or the British Council? +
Big schools apply one programme to every student: it's the only thing that works when you're managing thousands of them. A single tutor who builds every session around one person is a different product, and it costs differently. If you need a standard path with a certificate at the end, those schools are perfectly good. If you need someone who starts from where you are, we're here.
Are sessions online or in person? +
Sessions are online, by video call: you can work with me from any city. English Evenings are live, in Rome. For the professionals track, in-person sessions in Rome are possible on request.
Can I stop halfway through a programme? +
Yes. Pro-rata refund on unused sessions. I'd rather part on good terms than hold you to something that isn't working.
