Scuola Virgilio

Private Italian lessons

Nowadays in many cities of the world it is possible to follow Italian lessons with a private tutor, but doing it in Italy is a more complete experience for at least two reasons: the native Italian teacher who lives in his country is more directly connected to the culture and Italian companies in the making and can always offer something fresh and current; on the other hand, living in Italy for a few days or weeks makes the learning experience immersive, with many moments of meeting and discovery that stimulate learning in many ways – and that give memories for a lifetime!

 


At Scuola Virgilio, in addition or as an alternative to the intensive group courses, you can take private lessons, which can be divided into individual, couple or mini-group lessons. There is no more suitable choice for those who prefer to have maximum flexibility in following the lessons without renouncing the same teaching method that we have been adopting for years now with excellent results: the communicative approach in which commonly used Italian is taught without the use of other languages.


You can take lessons wherever and whenever you want, at any time of the year, in the classroom but also outside the school: at the bar, on the terrace, at home during a stay in Trapani… or online! Even private lessons, like the intensive group courses, are dynamic and engaging, thanks to a well-balanced mix of conversation and grammar, always with the friendly and informal style that characterizes Scuola Virgilio. What’s more, they are adapted each time to the specific needs and level of the students.
