Why choose Up to Ten for English tutoring

Up to Ten offers private English tutoring in person at our Via Giuseppe Frua campus, at home in Milan and online, with carefully selected English tutors. From grade recovery to exam preparation, every student follows a personalised pathway, with progress tracked on our proprietary app Up to Connect. We prepare students from primary school to university, including IB, A-Level and entrance exam preparation, with dedicated support for students with learning differences.

English as a STEM tool

English is not just a language to study — it is the key competency for the STEM world and the fundamental tool for accessing the international academic and professional world. Scientific English is our specialty.

Systematic grammar, not guesswork

We know that school English is often not enough: real skills are needed. English is a system of rules that are logical and coherent. Our structured approach transforms grammar from a list of exceptions into an understandable system — written and oral production, and above all the ability to think in English in academic and professional contexts.

From B1 to C2 with measurable goals

Our approach is structured and measurable: we start with an initial assessment to identify the actual level (not the perceived one), define measurable goals, and build a progressive learning path towards language certification with verifiable milestones.

Certifications and test preparation

The goal? Not just to improve school grades, but to build those analytical language skills — academic writing, critical reading, structured argumentation — preparing for Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL with full mock exams. Essential for anyone aiming for competitive university programs or careers in STEM fields where English is the language of research and innovation.

Scientific English is our home turf

Most tutoring centers teach generic English. We come from the STEM world: our tutors master technical and scientific English — academic papers, scientific presentations, preparation for international universities. If your goal is to study engineering, medicine or economics in English, Up to Ten is the right place: linguistic rigour with subject-matter expertise.

Our approach

The Up to Ten method for English

Our approach is based on the four fundamental pillars of the Up to Ten method: accurate gap diagnosis, gradual skill building, immediate practical application, and development of autonomy.

The Up to Ten method for English combines a systematic approach with STEM expertise: grammar as a logical structure, academic writing with evidence-based argumentation, reading comprehension with critical thinking, and certification preparation with measurable goals and periodic mock exams.

01

Grammar as a system

A systematic approach to English grammar: from the basics to advanced levels. Not isolated rules but a coherent system, with pattern recognition and contextualized practice.

02

Academic writing

Structured writing: essays, reports, critical analysis. Developing argumentative skills in English — a fundamental competency for international university and professional paths.

03

Critical reading

Analytical reading techniques: identifying theses, evaluating arguments, synthesizing complex information. Transferable skills applicable to any discipline.

04

Certifications and review

Cambridge (PET, FCE, CAE, CPE), IELTS, TOEFL. Specific strategies for each exam format with simulations under real conditions. We track CEFR progression through periodic tests and exam simulations. Every step is documented on Up to Connect for student and parents.

Recupero lacune in materie scientifiche e latino

Up to ten mi era stato suggerito da un’amica e a mia volta, dopo averlo provato, l’ho suggerito ad altri genitori i cui figli avevano necessità di recuperare lacune in materie scientifiche, ma anche in latino. E’ diventato un punto di riferimento per noi. Anna, la titolare, è eccezionale come insegnante, disponibilità e professionalità, così come i tutor che seleziona e che seguono i ragazzi.

Recupero materie scientifiche dopo rientro USA

Da Up to Ten abbiamo trovato insegnanti preparati e attenti che hanno seguito nelle materie scientifiche nostro figlio al rientro dall’anno negli Stati Uniti aiutandolo a recuperare importanti materie di indirizzo con un lavoro attento e personalizzato. La titolare, Anna Paccagnella è una persona molto empatica che ha organizzato in modo eccellente il percorso di recupero. Siamo rimasti molto colpiti dalla proposta di seguire anche la parte di relazione con i professori del liceo per avere un feedback sul lavoro di recupero. Grazie.

Test d'ingresso scientifici superati

Davvero un ottima esperienza. Ho affrontato diverse materie scientifiche per prepararmi ai test d’ingresso ed ho trovato molta disponibilità con docenti preparati e professionali. Un ringraziamento grande va a Pasquale che oltre ad essere un insegnante eccellente ha molta pazienza e passione. Con lui ho affrontato Chimica, materia che avevo trascurato negli anni, e mi ha passato sicurezza ma sopratutto entusiasmo nel riprenderla in mano. Grazie ! Super consigliata !
