Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Italian

This set of Italian tutorials are less specific and more targeted for those who want to get a range of different things from learning Italian. Even though all novice students will cover survival Italian: as well as Italian to visit somewhere abroad to make solid contacts with the locals, what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefited from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Italian culture and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Italian.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Italian

The people who would benefit the most from these Italian tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Italian to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is essential. Once these have been practised, then reading and writing lessons can begin. Typical studiers have been those involved in international imports/exports, negotiations and acquisitions, multinational companies requiring another language and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Even our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Italian as well as survival Italian should a visit to the country be necessary.
