| Catherine (22 years - 20.Sep.2011) The school was very friendly and well organised, I liked the extra activities which were offered.. Placement test is vital to assigning your level.. | |
| Esther (58 years - 2.Aug.2011) Organization
The first time: the teacher -not now-. | |
| Marta (64 years - 22.Nov.2010) I was very impressed with the teacher I had and the school staff whom I found to be pleasant, very helpful and sincere in making one feel comfortable and welcome. She was flexible yet focused and stayed on track with her lessons. The teachers are very qualified and experienced in their teaching and always tried to help in any way they could to make certain one understood the lesson or problems that came up in the lesson. I was most impressed with them. I also liked the fact that we had a lot of interaction with other international students in the class. The atmosphere in the class was relaxed and the teacher we had picked up on the humour and added her own light heartedness. It was enjoyable to be there. I hope to return to the school for future courses when I am a bit more advanced in my Italian.. | |
