Of course! Call Beti today on 0466 562 251, she will be delighted to answer all your questions.

Yes, we offer group lessons in Melbourne Bayside starting every term of the year.

Of course! The location and time for the lessons are entirely up to you. Your tutor will meet you at the place and time that best suit you.

The choice of the right tutor for you will depend on everyone’s availability and location of the lessons and also on your starting level. Once you have contacted Giulia, she will then meet you for a first free chat where she will decide on which tutor to match you with.

Simply choose the right package and course for you and contact us via phone or email. Once everything is set up Giulia will send you the invoice for your payment. From selecting your preferred course to having your first lesson normally takes only a few days!

Your tutor will come to the lesson with all the material you need. But, in order for you to do some extra homework we would recommend you to purchase your own copy of the book. This is optional and entirely up to you.

If you don’t know your starting level you can take an entry test by clicking on this link: http://www.italian-test.com/index.htm or http://www.live-italian.com/test-italian/ alternatively you can contact Giulia and she will be happy to send you a pdf test or assess your entry level during your first free chat with her.

Of course! we normally recommend conversation lessons to those who can already speak the language at least at an intermediate level. If you are interested in conversation only, your options are private conversation lessons or our brand new course ‘Italian Play’.

This is up to you but we can suggest a minimum of one lesson per week in order for you to progress well.

As many as you please. Once you purchase your package you can use those hours as you prefer. You can have an hour lesson once a week, an hour lesson twice a week or a two hour lesson in one day.

On average to complete a level A1 beginner course it takes 9 months (based on one lesson per week). However, we all learn in a unique way and learning is influenced by so many factors outside the tutors’ control, therefore we cannot guarantee a specific timeline.

Learning a foreign language takes time, practice and motivation. In all these years of teaching we have met hundreds of absolute beginners! With the help of an experienced native Italian tutor you will feel guided and supported, you will make progress and hopefully feel rewarded.

This is a difficult question to answer since it depends on so many factors (internal and external). Also, fluency is a hard concept to define, so we prefer to talk about communicational goals. The following are reasonable expectations. In 3 months time you will be able to introduce yourself, tell others about your job and give personal details, say what your likes and dislikes are and order at the restaurant. In 6 months: you will be able to book a hotel room, understand directions and speak in the past tense about what you did yesterday, last weekend or recently. In 1 year: you will talk about daily life in details, talk about your childhood, etc.
