Positive aspects of school
Very committed trainers who know how to convey the content and respond to individual needs. Small groups increase learning success immensely. Additional courses in the entire school unit with cultural content. Learning success absolutely given with super atmosphere!
Negative aspects
More afternoon activities could be planned in order to practise more intensively (willingly also in exchange for a share of the costs). But that is really complaining at a very high level. I was very satisfied with the school!
Other comments
Just great!
City/place
Incredibly impressive sights in Naples and the surrounding area, which is very easy to reach, especially by train (e.g. Vesuvius, Pompeii, Ercolano and the Amalfi Coast). Naples also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine - especially street food at easily affordable prices. Only the Aperol in the restaurants is always a bit more expensive in the evening - better to take ToGo if you want to save money (between 2 and 4 euros currently). Security depends somewhat on the neighbourhood (as everywhere) - I would inform myself beforehand. Despite living in a difficult neighbourhood, I had no negative experience. Occasionally a rucksack compartment was open after the metro ;-) - so watch out for valuables (just like everywhere else). The cleanliness could still be worked on, especially with regard to waste disposal - but hardly a problem in the tourist areas.

Small groups (we were 3 or 4 people in A2), very individual, high level of learning success.

Naples was a very nice surprise. It's chaotic, sometimes messy and noisy, but has tons of character and (its own unique) style. This was my first time in Naples, and it's definitely a place I'd love to go back to.

My experience was great in every way: nice teachers, good lessons, exciting afternoon programme, communicative and open people and generally a great atmosphere in the school.
City/place
Great southern Italian city with lots of charm and many nice and friendly people, but of course also with the characteristics of southern Italian cities: lots of rubbish and places where you don't necessarily want to be out and about at night.

Not the cleanest city, but it has a character all it's own that you either like or dislike. A little difficult to speak Italian because of the presence of so many tourists. Everyone wants to speak English.

After 1.5 hours, the teacher changed, which made for lively and interesting lessons. Very positive atmosphere in the school, very good contact with students from other classes.

Naples is the most Italian of all cities for us. Loud, full of people and incredibly nice and helpful Neapolitans. A variety of food options in all price ranges, also for shopping.

Positive aspects of school
The lessons often integrated Neapolitan culture, food and music which created a more interesting learning experience.
My teacher also gave tips on where to eat, which museums are important and what foods to try, always in Italian.
Instead of using a book, we used handouts that were more specific to the grammar covered.
The classes always started and ended on time.
At 59 years old I had trepidation about returning to school, even a language school, but it turned out to be the joy of my 2 month stay in Napoli.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Make sure to take day trips to the nearby islands. Rome is also a 75 minute train ride away. Explore a new church everyday. Eat something that does not exist where you live. Take a walk along the sea on Sundays and have a drink at the many outdoors cafes. Visit Castle St.Elmo on the top of the city for the best views around. Find a local bar to have a coffee in every morning and connect with the staff there and make it your own. Visit the catacombs in the funky neighborhood of Sanita’. Buy a ticket to Teatro San Carlo, the oldest opera house in Europe. Tours are also available. Pompeii is also a great day trip.
Other comments
Communication was excellent from the first e mail to the last WhatsApp goodbye and good luck.
The teachers are professional but also really make learning fun and relative to life in Naples and Italy. We were offered coffee and cookies often before our lessons, very sweet. We were all invited to share a beautiful cake marking the 4th anniversary of NaClips. The location is in the middle of the city, 3 minute walk from the metro and is set between 2 interesting neighborhoods. I researched 3 other schools before choosing NaClips and I know I made the correct choice.
City/place
Napoli has many interesting layers of culture. There are plenty of museums, castles and churches to visit. I took day trips to each of the 3 beautiful nearby islands, Procida, Ischia,Capri. The street life is colorful and the street art is very creative.I can’t imagine being bored here. Even though the restaurants are very affordable I became bored with the majority of them serving only pizza and/or pasta. There are different neighborhoods to explore and the city center is very walkable. Yes I found the city dirty but this is not new news. I believe it’s a very particular city and I plan on returning.
Quality of teaching / language progress
Again, local and Italian culture were
integrated into the lessons which made learning more relative while still keeping to the teaching of grammar.
I had homework which was not laborious that I in fact looked forward to doing.
If I had trouble with a certain lesson my teacher would stop and review the grammar.

I really liked the school and the teaching method. The teachers are very attentive to detail and were always encouraging us to speak.
Negative aspects
Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19, the school could not organize social activities, and we had no interaction with other students. However, I understand that it was not a school's fault, it was a very difficult situation worldwide.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
I took a 2 weeks course and I reckon that this duration is reasonable for those who already have a good knowledge of the Italian language. In my point of view, a student who is a complete beginner would not learn too much in such a short period of time.
Other comments
School with a youthful vibe and their teachers are always in good spirits!
City/place
Naples is a big city and offers plenty of options for cultural activities. Also, it has several natural beauties and different types of programs to bring about.

Teachers are great! Very professional and supportive. Their method of speaking only in Italian from the first moment helped me to get familiar with the city and local people.
