Location
Florence in Tuscany has a population of around half a million, and is situated almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. Being on the main national railway lines, it is easily accessible from most important places both in Italy and abroad. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science. Its medieval structures and Renaissance architecture will leave you breathless and with a real appreciation for architecture itself. On your way to class, you will pass by beautiful works of art by Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, and other great names. If you are a lover of food, authentic Tuscan cuisine is a must-have.

TEFL Course
In our course, students are assessed on their understanding and practical application of the course content through teaching practice and the compilation of a teaching journal. These two are assessed separately but the final grade awarded amalgamates both sets of grades with a slight weighting towards teaching practice. Job guidance and support is provided throughout your teaching career. Access to online downloadable materials and lesson plans.

Our TEFL school is located in a 'real' Italian area where students will meet, eat lunch with, and socialize with Italians who actually live and carry out their daily lives in the vicinity of the school. As a result, they will be exposed to the authentic Florence, not the Florence that is created for tourists.

Accommodation
There are several accommodation options available: A private room, a shared room in Florence, homestay with a host family, pensione in the center of Florence.
