One-to-one and Two-to-One Italian language courses

By choosing a one-to-one approach the student will have lessons tailored to his/her personal language needs.
A personal tutor will be on hand throughout the day and also in the evenings, in order to help the student maximize opportunities to learn the Italian language.

The learning programme and the timetable can be therefore fitted to the needs of the individual student.

One-to-one and two-to-one tuition are aimed at those people who want to learn Italian, but have busy schedules which prevent them from undertaking more rigidly scheduled language courses.

By adopting a more flexible, personal approach the student can gain an in-depth understanding of everyday Italian (both written and spoken), with minimal disruption.

It is also possible to attend classes in the weekends: please refer to this page.

Moreover, private lessons can also be carried on after your stay in Florence has finished, since you will be given the opportunity to keep in touch with your teacher through skype or MSN messenger: please refer to this page.

Since 1995 all our courses have taken place in the school premises and have been held by our qualified and experienced teaching staff. We are not a school selling courses which afterwards other schools or institutes take charge of. That is why we offer only a selected choice of courses, whose programmes and schedule have been tested and improved throughout these years.
