Insider tips about what future students should not miss
There isn't a common room at the school and we always had to change classroom between several streets. It's a bit annoying and confusing.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
for the Italians: it's better for you to know that 50% of the students come from Italy..If you want to be sure to really talk always in English after the end of the lessons, it's better you consider to evaluate another town
Other comments
Something that might be useful:
teaching materials a little bit messy (too many loose papers delivered: perhaps can be more efficient to prepare earlier during the week some stapled sheets with exercises to do, instead of releasing loose-papers day by day
