  • Payments are final sale. If you miss a lesson, you can apply the credit towards a lesson the following week or towards the class notes, homework and answer keys for two lessons.

4. WHAT’S THE TYPICAL CLASS SIZE?

  • Grammar lessons tend to have between 5-15 students.

  • Conversation lessons tend to have between 3-5 students.

5. WHAT LEVEL DO I HAVE TO HAVE TO ATTEND?

  • For Grammar lessons, if you understand the material I go over in lessons 1-13 in the Zero to Hero Italian Grammar Series(my Free Italian course on YouTube) you’ll be good to go!

    • This basically means you have at least a B1 level, which is lower intermediate. However, many students come with more of an A2 (upper beginner level) and they do just fine.

  • Every topic we go over is of a different level by nature and I take a wholistic approach to language learning, which means I don’t place hard lines on what is considered beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

  • For Conversation lessons, so long as you can make basic statements and share your opinion in a few words, you’ll be good to go!

    • Some students just enjoy being in the company of fellow students of Italian and don’t want to participate that much. That’s totally fine. I invite students to participate as much as they feel comfortable and would like to. Obviously, the more you talk, the more you get out of it!

6. WHAT LANGUAGE ARE THE LESSONS CONDUCTED IN?

  • Grammar lessons are conducted in English.

  • Conversation lessons are conducted in Italian and English, they’re bilingual lessons.

  • Students are welcome to speak in English or Italian at any time and I will respond in kind.
