The Italian lessons & our method
All our teachers are native speakers, highly motivated and with years of experience. Teachers are carefully selected and trained to be lively, well-educated, and capable of inspiring all students with their engaging, interactive and fun teaching style.
Our method is based on a communicative approach, which means that students will focus on all linguistic abilities from day one, practising daily Italian every day, with very limited use of other languages.
The didactic material that we use was developed by our expert teachers and it is integrated with additional print outs, digital content and other media (Italian songs, games, etc.)
Our small size class groups (min. 3 to max. 14 students per class) ensure that all students receive proper attention from the teacher and plenty of opportunities to speak and practise the language.
All levels available – from absolute beginner to advanced C2
