Extensive Individual Italian

Giuliana is a wonderful teacher who patiently encourages you to speak Italian. She gently corrects but never is a way that is discouraging. The lessons were interesting in that I learned about Italy and Italian culture as well as Italian

Honestly it wasn't long before I was feeling relaxed and confident to start talking in Italian. My Tutor Giammarco was very patient, clear and humorous tutor which made talking and listening in Italian much easier for me. In Italian we talked about who was the better Maradona or Messi, politics, history, similarities and differences between our countries, what I will be doing on my holiday and various other topics.

My questions were answered and if there were things I was stuck on then we would work on it in the moment and then move on when I was comfortable to do so.

When I was sick with the flu they were very flexible and they allowed me to do my classes on another day so that I did not miss out and this was something I really appreciated.

Their course structure adapted and changed to match my level so I did not feel like I was being spoon fed my lessons and it was all very much a casual affair.

My girlfriend's family who are Italian noticed a big difference in my ability and confidence so we are all happy with the results.

I took four days of intensive intermediate conversation lessons with Giuliana. The school adapted the schedule to fit my own travel plans, which was much appreciated. Giuliana was among the best teachers I have had in any subject: organized, using a good combination of subject matter, written and virtual materials, and a walkabout. Aside from working patiently on my conversation skills, she shared many cultural insights as well, which enriched and enlivened the lessons.

The location of the school was for me ideal, as I was already quite familiar and comfortable with the neighborhood. For others, I think the location can also be a good fit, within walking distance of the Colosseum, the Aventine, Testaccio and Trastevere while being a bit removed from the crush of the center, well serviced by public transportation and with many excellent restaurants from the simple to the elaborate nearby.

I arranged my own housing minutes from the school easily and there are many options at a range of price points. All in all I cannot find anything to complain about. The experience was worthwhile and enjoyable and I hope to repeat it in the not-too-distant future.

The facilities were excellent and the location was outstanding. It was a one to one course and the teacher was flexible to all my learning expectations.
