Italian Reviews

I really enjoy my group lessons with Paola, we all have fun and help each other. With Paola's guidance we work things out, and from knowing nothing last year, I can now read and understand the written Italian passages we are given. We are speaking a lot more too, and Paola is always encouraging us when we get stuck. She has a lovely personality and is a friend as well a teacher.

Although 1:1 is good in many ways I enjoyed the classes when there was 1 or 2 other members . I prefer face to face tuition than online where possible. The course books we are using are very good.

Paola is a kind & engaging teacher, who makes the sessions fun. I would like a little less concentration on the text books and a bit more free conversation - even if that’s on a prepared topic. Overall the lessons are really good & a lot less nerve wracking than some I’ve done previously. I can’t really comment on online classes as I’ve never done them .

I've struggled to know what material to look at when and how to get it. It would be really helpful to clearly share the links to where we can access it online and where we can buy it with all of the group. Paola's teaching style is really excellent and she has made us into a nice friendly group.

I love the course and Paola is a brilliant teacher. The circumstances are not ideal and sometimes there are technical difficulties. The material is ok but sometimes hard to understand instructions for the exercises as all in Italian. Maybe easier if instructions were in English

The class size has diminished over the year due to other commitments and also changes in business due to COVID. This has meant some changes in approach but Paola has used games, quizzes, recipes and other source material to keep the course lively. I feel I have made good progress my my Italian learning as a result .
