Positive aspects of school
"The school is in the heart of the city, yet it’s very quiet and has air conditioning. The teacher used an iPad to make the explanations easy to follow and sent us everything as a PDF after class. The lessons were very clear and easy to understand."
Negative aspects
"At first, the location was a bit hard to find. Also, perhaps because of the timing, no other students at my level joined the group class I signed up for. As a result, it became private lessons halfway through, which meant fewer hours and fewer days of instruction. However, I appreciated how flexibly they handled the situation."

"The teachers and staff are all very kind and speak in a way that’s easy to follow."
City/place
"It was summer, so the city was packed with tourists, but it still felt very safe. Since it wasn’t too hot this year, it was quite comfortable. However, due to the weak yen, the cost of living felt really high."

Positive aspects of school
"The focus for A2 was on grammar, which helped clear up some of our confusion. The instructors were very attentive and flexible with the needs of the class. Our class mostly followed the textbook. We had 6 to 7 students in our class. Student ages ranged from 20's to 60's. We liked the small class size and that the room was filled with adults. I was talking more by the end of the course. We recommend this school for its focus on learning, not for entertainment."
Negative aspects
"The activities offered were minimal: There were some seminars related to Italian culture, one short tour, and a pizza night. Being a student for 5 hours a day, plus homework was exhausting. The school didn't provide an introduction to Florence."

"Everything was wonderful. All the teachers and other staff were super nice. The organisation was exemplary and the teachers made the lessons a pleasure. Thank you very much for everything."
Negative aspects
"My missing 5th star: it would be nice if there were more leisure activities in the afternoon or evening. For example, an organised aperitif, an input event, e.g. on history, lifestyle, etc., Italian cooking, Italian songs. These are organised in other schools and are great fun and you get to know people."
