Additional information

Positive aspects of school

For me, this month was a beautiful experience. However, there were also shortcomings. The school was good, the teacher very friendly. However, the different levels should be separated more precisely.

Negative aspects

A friend came to visit and stayed with me. This was a big problem for my landlords in the beginning. I even offered to pay something for my friend if that was the problem. However, he assured me that it was not about money, but about security. Finally, the school approached me and told me that I had to report it to the school first and that it would cost 35 euros per night. Which surprised me a lot. In addition, the fridge came into the room on my last day, which didn't help me much either.

Positive aspects of school

Everyone was very friendly and open-minded. The teacher of the first group also quickly noticed that I had to change to another group because the level was too low for me. Everyone always speaks Italian and explains everything over and over again with great patience. I felt perfectly taken care of. I will come again.

Negative aspects

I had only booked one week and therefore had to buy the book myself, you could say that in advance. Otherwise you get copies, but that's not a problem either.

Learned a lot, everyone is so friendly and tries to help where necessary. Appreciative, friendly and humorous interaction with each other. Emmily, my assistance dog, was also integrated. Thank you very much, we will be back.

Other comments

So nice to meet the many motley people of all nationalities, all ages, the different cultures and motivations for visiting Tiberius.

City/place

I like Rimini, the old town flair, the many bars and cafés, the sights... but also the beach life, the sea, Lungomare, especially in September...

Quality of teaching / language progress

I especially liked the family-like, uncomplicated and humorous way of interacting with each other, the excursion to San Marino and that Emmily could join us. Many many thanks for that. The teachers also teach grammar and conversation with pleasure. I learned a lot.

I had difficulty asking for explanations, because the teacher was speaking in English, and I do not speak English, which does not detract from the quality of the teaching. it was difficult at my age to follow 4 hours from the 2nd day to follow only 3 hours, could not make shorter courses at a lower price, even if the intensity of the courses tired me, I'm happy with my experience

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

Fight back, demand to speak more Italian during class. Our teacher Alessia spoke 97 percent of the time. Us maybe a single word. Incredible. I once asked her if we could even read the whole sentence and not just the missing word. Oh, the teacher was downright pissed off, I just read a few sentences cheekily. In the second week I asked her if she could please speak more slowly because I often didn't understand but she refused. Her comment was that this was the way people talked in Italy. Monika spoke slowly and in simple sentences but Alessia didn't want to. The 5 of us from May 14th were the only ones for the first week. We were all put into the same class, with different levels of knowledge, regardless of the entry test results. The pronunciation, the speaking, would have been so important for the 2 Thais in particular. Arrogant demeanor from Alessia. In the 2nd week there was a teacher in the other class who, I heard, had better pedagogical knowledge and included everyone in the group, there was more talk. I think in the 2 weeks I spoke less than 10 minutes of Italian in class. Alessia also had no patience, so she pushed her program forward in a hurry. A PITY.

Other comments

As an apprentice trainer, I know that you can teach in groups at different levels, how important it is to let the students speak, even to let them speak incorrectly. A teacher just stands at the blackboard and speaks Italian so quickly that I wasn't the only one who didn't understood anything, grrr. Written homework would be obvious for me as a teacher, then correcting it together, going through the text together. The teacher should not be on her mobile while we solve tasks in writing, but should look over our shoulders. Oh, sometimes I didn't even know what she was asking of us. She sat there and she was busy with her mobile. For example, ask us about the weekend so we can explain in Italian what we did. It's about speaking Italian and the teacher should be interested in us students, incorporate enthusiasm for the classroom.

Many students had a high level and were placed in a group with a lower level because there was no group with a higher level. This led to resentment and it should have been dealt with beforehand. Many students will not come back for this reason.
