Positive aspects of school
"Excellent standard of teaching from Gulia B and Christiano. Great location. Good value for money. Sylvia B was a great guide."
Negative aspects
"The split site made it difficult for some students to get to class and have a break - also more difficult to socialise. Not enough toilets. Having lessons in the afternoon made it harder to structure my day. More could be done to bring students together, e.g. a WhatsApp group and default evening meetup point."
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
"Speak up asap if you think you're not in the group you want to be in. The test is just a guide. Some people might prefer a challenge. Others might prefer to recap"

Positive aspects of school
"The subjects were well thought out. They were useful and relevant to everyday life as opposed to some courses that teach about elephants, the zoo, and other irrelevant topics not useful in everyday life. The lessons started and ended on time. My teacher was very observant of the students understanding and quick to adjust to make sure every student was understanding the lesson. Teaching was intense in the mornings and more fun and interactive in the afternoons which was a very good combination. I am amazed at how many topics the teacher covered in 3 weeks. I felt that I learned a lot in a short time and would highly recommend the school to others."

"Yes - don't forget to study. I discovered after a a few days that I needed to study in addition to attending classes. The homework assignments were helpful and got me into the habit of studying (it had been a long time since I went to school!)."

"It was a lovely, international course with 12 participants aged 18 to 67. The age difference was not noticed in class, which was mainly due to the exciting, methodical class led by the teacher (Christiano). It was a lot of fun and the learning progress was considerable for me. Thanks!"

Our appartment was nice - a bit dirty though, but the location was gorgeous and we had the whole flat for ourselves. The school was less than a one minute walk away...and Ponte Vecchio (city center) was about a 5 min. walk."
