Yes! 😀 Ms Maria-Vittoria is the main and full time teacher. She was born in Italy but relocated to London to teach here. Any other part time teacher are not employed unless they are born and qualified in Italy. We all have at least a degree in a relevant subject and hold the qualified teacher status in Italy and here in the UK.

If you want to book 1-2-1 sessions First you book your free assessment. During the assessment you agree on a schedule with your teacher so you decide when to start. If you are opting for group classes It depends on when the class at your level runs. We need a minimum of 3 students to start a new class. If there is not class planned, we add you to our waiting list so we can contact you as soon as the class is available.

In short, NO 😎 The assessment is an informal way for the teacher to find out if you have any previous experience of studying Italian. It is not a test also because if you are a real beginner it will not make any sense. We are more interested in the reasons why your want to learn Italian and how you learn best.

If you have 1-2-1 lesson, we prefer weekly payments in arrears If you study in a group, we ask you to pay monthly in advance If you study to prepare for an exam, we send you an invoice every month Unfortunately we cannot accept cash but there are many online and more traditional banking systems you can use to make the payment ( Monzo and Revolut , for example)
