(Testimony translated from Italian*)

I have a very good opinion of the school. The biggest advantage was to do face to face lessons with my teacher, without the interference of other students. I remain convinced that three hours of study each day was perfect because it allowed me to work with my teacher without losing concentration.

Regarding the material, the school was very efficient in supplying photocopies of the course material specifically geared towards the exam preparation I had requested. Besides this, the teacher was very attentive to supply further information in areas that I was unsure of.

The methods utilized were multi-faceted: listening to CD’s, reading of newspapers, or listening to news on TV or via internet, videocassettes, recording of dialogues with the teacher, the correction of pronunciation errors, all without excluding the traditional method of grammatical exercises.

In my opinion these methods were very useful and effective, and the variation of techniques used was one of the things I appreciated the most during my course because it stimulated me and made the learning less heavy.

The teacher was able to judge my English level and construct lessons for my level and to improve any gaps and deficiencies without wasting time on aspects that I had already grasped. For these reasons I believe my course was not too difficult but perfectly set at my ability level.

I am happy to have attended the school because I have left feeling satisfied and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to really improve their knowledge of the English language.
