One-to-One Course
This course is very flexible and tailored to a student's needs, interests and schedules. Private Italian lessons are an excellent alternative to group courses, because they allow the student to work with the teacher on a one-on-one basis and focus on specific grammar, culture and news issues, or on any other subject that the student may be particularly interested in.
Moreover, they can be useful for students who have already attended a group course and need to strengthen and practice their knowledge and the acquired language skills.
This method is also valid for people who need to use Italian in their business dealings and wish to learn the specific economic, business, legal, medical or tourist jargon, or more generally, learn the language that can apply to professional situations in general.
Lessons per week: 10 (60 minutes per lesson)

The best teacher i have had. Great location. Nice people. The 50 plus excursions were way below par. They offered mostly Florence walking tours and the guide was extremely knowledgeable but the entire tour is done in rapid Italian so you will only pick up bits and pieces. Book your own tours and enjoy this excellent school in the heart of Florence. I give the school my highest rating
