Italian School of St Albans

Stefano is by far the best language teacher I have ever known. His lessons are fun and light hearted, but at the same time he manages to teach grammar successfully! That's quite an unusual ability. The lessons are focused on all aspects of Italian, i.e. speaking, reading, listening and understanding, plus some writing and even comments about Italian society and current affairs. I would certainly recommend him to anyone without a moment's hesitation. More...

Ciao! If you want to have fun while learning Italian this is the place for you! It is nothing like learning a language at school. Topical and controversial subject matter (no matter how little Italian you know) in a friendly supportive class with a gifted teacher (Stefano). Lessons are well paced, full of debate and humour; everyone is included and at the end of each class the room is buzzing and zinging! More...

I have been attending the school for the last two years and it is truly fantastic. The lessons are great and the people are too! I really enjoy the class and the course goes at a good pace without being too fast or slow. There is plenty of support from teachers and from students with regards to how your Italian language skills progress. I really recommend for anyone who is interested in learning Italian, taking up a new and fun hobby - situated in the heart of st albans. More...

I've been taught by Stefano for almost two years now and I really feel the difference in my understanding of the grammar and confidence to speak! He reacts well to the needs of students and will adjust the lesson accordingly to ensure you keep progressing. More...

Stefano taught me Italian for about 6 months and it was a great experience. Not only I felt that I made a lot of progress in a very short period of time but I was also finding this hour very enjoyable and was always looking forward to it!

I've worked with Sara for a while now, and I should say that she is a fantastic tutor! She developed a tailored approach to my needs and was always coming up with fun exercises that helped me improve my Italian really quickly.

Her real strength comes from her friendly attitude and her listening skills. More...

Stefano is an amazing teacher--his lessons are always interesting, and cover different topics so you learn more varied vocabulary. He teaches grammar in its natural setting, with examples to practice in class, where the atmosphere is lovely. There is written practice for every homework, which helps develop your knowledge of the language and ability to read and express yourself. I can now write easily in Italian, and can read stories with occasional dictionary help. Stefano has helped me go from stumbling and a bit lost, to a real feeling of fluency. What is more important, each lesson is conducted totally in Italian--I kind of despise teachers who do not teach a subject in the language itself! How artificial that would be! So you are speaking, reading, writing and understanding in Italian--there is nothing better, and no better teacher than Stefano! More...

It is often difficult find good quality language courses in my local area and so two years ago I was really pleased to find that there was a beginner's evening course starting in St Albans. I was pleased to find myself in group of similarly motivated people all keen to learn as much as possible about both the language and the culture. Stefano has been a very effective and encouraging teacher and has patiently corrected all of our mispronunciations and grammar mistakes. I was happy that the course progressed fairly rapidly from the beginning stages and has now reached the stage of being both challenging and stimulating. I look forward to continuing with the course next year. More...
