Oxford
A university city in central England, Oxford has a population of around 135,000 and is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Coined as "the city of dreaming spires", the city has many major tourist attractions, many found in the numerous colleges of the university. Oxford developed much as a result of early 20th century innovations, especially the printing press and the automobile. Unsurprisingly one of the main bywords of Oxford is its penchant for encouraging an excellent education, as it features many of the country's highly academic secondary schools, as well as the university itself.
Italian Testimonials
"This is just a quick note to say thank you for arranging our Italian classes. We really enjoyed them and we liked Maria very much. We are interested in having some more lessons, perhaps once a week now. We'd like them to focus on conversation so that we can practise what we've learned so far."
