English courses
My method
My method is that I don’t believe in “The Method”. This means that I don’t claim any fancy, magical methodology that will teach you English in 12 lessons. Learning is a journey, and a very personal one, and part of this journey is understanding what works best for you.
Having said that, my group standard courses are based on the communicative approach, the one used by most course books and that has a balance of reading, listening, speaking, writing, grammar and vocabulary. In fact, we’ll typically use a course book (probably either Empower or SpeakOut, but this will be discussed with the group before the start of the course).
One-to-one courses can be much more customized, while conversation and special courses will not use a book. Courses for certificates will of course follow the exam syllabus very strictly (boring, I know, but we’ll try to make it as much fun as possible!).
So, what should you expect from my courses? A lot of conversation and discussion, but some homework as well (I know, I know – but practicing on your own is very important). And, I promise, a lot of fun!

Group classes
This is ideal if you want to learn English and meet new people.
The groups are small (3-6 people) and the students always have the same level (some small differences are of course possible). A course book will always be used, and you will be required to buy it before the beginning of the course.
Group classes are suitable for any level from A1 to B2 and can be held from Monday to Friday, from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm (but consider that they are usually after 5 pm)(Italian time). At the moment, group classes are only online (through Zoom).
There are two types of group courses: long courses (32 lessons) and short courses (12 lessons). Each lesson lasts 90 minutes, and there is one lesson per week.
Prices: long courses 403€, short courses 188,5€
