“All employees, from Anna and Mariangela from the front office to the 3 fantastic teachers (Tina, Francesca and Mery) were extremely courteous, friendly, patient, very nice and absolutely recommendable. I have never had such empathetic, committed and patient teachers! I didn't lack anything, everyone was there for me. Whether questions about language, culture or tips for excursions, they have always helped me, even in times of Covid-19 and the lockdown.”

“Excellent teachers and education. Visible context and cohesion between days which gave a development in their teaching and a progress among students. They were skilled to get the students to speak and participate during lessons. it was not high season (peak) maybe that’s why we were a small class 4 to 5 students a day during the week.”
Disliked
“The school was situated at second floor and the stairs isn’t made for people with any kind of walking problems. Maybe there is an elevator I don’t know. If its possible to have a wish : It had been extraordinarily with any kind of lounge , just a small room with a comfortable chair/couch etc.”

Review details
Other comments This school is an OK option for a week or two class if you're on vacation in Napoli and want to work on your Italian. If you're really looking for a challenging environment, I'm not so sure. I've studied in over 12 private language schools in Europe and the Americas: this is the first where the vast majority of the time no homework was assigned. In addition, they do not utilize a book: everything is photocopied exercises. There is no reference material to refer back to, no written explanations, no reinforcement of concepts learned. It is impossible to know where you are in the course/level, or what you need to accomplish to move to the next level. This is not the fault of the teachers, who are generally very capable: rather, the direction of the school seems to not be focused on creating a challenging learning environment. It would be so easy to offer an afternoon movie or TV show with italian subtitles to work on oral comprehension. Even optional homework or seminars would help for the student that was really wanting to improve their language skills. I spoke with many other students who felt that their time in class was not really challenging and that they didn't make the progress they had hoped to. While there were a number of beginner level classes, this was not true with the 2 (intermediate) level. Challenging does not mean that the classes can't be fun, and even a minimum amount of homework/exercises (30 minutes?) would add to the learning experience.

Unfortunately, instead I almost only filled in sheets - using the right verbs, conjugating ect. That's not exactly "super" for a fortnight. We "talked" very little; this was also due to the fact that the teacher (she was very nice!) did not know English.”
