What others say.
Learning Italian at this level is challenging but the tutor developed an understanding of both group and individual strengths and would present the class in an interactive and sensitive way, that helped us not only develop our understanding of the syllabus at hand but also a thirst to learn more laterally about Italian culture and history.
Our teacher was excellent and kept us engaged throughout the lesson. I’m about to use all I’ve learnt on a trip to Italy, and hope to re-join the class on my return.
The best teacher ever. Patient, dedicated and makes all their lessons a delight.
I found this course challenging and enriching. We were given the opportunity to talk and our understanding was extended beyond the text book. An excellent teacher.
