Many of them have dedicated their professional life to teaching while others have found their vocation while living in a foreign country. Their work is based on the passion and love for their own language and culture.

Effective & Fun Teaching Methods:
Our methods of teaching Italian aim to develop the student’s communication skills. Students actively practice the four fundamental functions of language: listening, speaking, reading and writing. We pay particular attention to conversation so that students can express themselves in Italian from the very beginning of the course. To engage all learners, teachers use communicative techniques and strategies aimed at involving students and creating a friendly and nice atmosphere that inspires enthusiasm and happiness in the learning process, essential when learning a foreign language.
