 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fantastic language school with exceptionally talented teachers and a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. I've been learning Italian for 8 years now and living every minute! All the lessons are fun and engaging, with new formats to try each week. You'll also feel incredibly supported by your teachers and other classmates - safe to make mistakes along the way as you improve your new language.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before I joined a class, my level was assessed (I wasn't a total beginner and had been doing Duolingo!) and I was recommended a course at the appropriate level. Classes are enjoyable and informal. I wanted to learn to speak Italian and to make myself understood in Italy but I didn't want to be assessed for a formal qualification. This is ideal for me!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vicky's Italian classes are a content-packed, entertaining and lively blend of all aspects of learning Italian - reading, listening, conversation, discussion, culture, and, of course grammar and vocabulary -  using diverse methods of teaching including games, quizzes, videos, films, exercises and role play.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Italian class has quickly turned into the highlight of my week! I have really enjoyed the challenge of learning again and the classes are so fun and well structured. The class size is big enough for practice and interaction between the students, and small enough that I feel confident asking questions. Outside of class we have a WhatsApp group to share ideas and help each other. On my recent trip to Milan I had the confidence to speak in Italian and make myself understood after just two terms of tuition. I could not recommend highly enough!
