Italian Courses in London, UK & Europe

Teaching Approach and Experience

Many professionals in companies across the UK, as well as private individuals, have benefited from an Italian Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker Italian teachers, and with an average of 15 years’ experience they will ensure you benefit from a course designed specifically around your needs, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner with more specialised requirements.

We consistently receive excellent feedback on our Italian tutors from our clients, and we send our students a profile on their Italian tutor prior to their Italian lessons commencing, with information on the tutor’s background and experience.

If you have only studied languages before at school you will find that teaching approaches to modern language training have changed enormously in recent years – it’s now a lot more fun and a far more rewarding experience!

Your teacher will conduct your Italian lesson almost entirely in Italian – a method known as the Communicative Approach - and you will find yourself making progress from the very first lesson and soon growing in the confidence to communicate in Italian in a variety of social and business situations.

   

 

LANGUAGE PROFILE


Over 70 million people speak Italian.

Italian is also spoken in:

Croatia
Libya
Monaco
Romania
San Marino
Slovenia
Somalia
Switzerland
Vatican City

1:1 and Group Italian Courses

Our Italian language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Italian training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful.

Those learning Italian on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular strengths and weaknesses.

Italian Course Locations

SIMON & SIMON has arranged Italian language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Italian language course for you wherever you are - in any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond.

The vast majority of our Italian lessons take place at our clients’ offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Italian lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient.

We can also arrange full-time residential Italian language courses for you – just contact our office for information on available destinations.

Italian Course Schedules

Our Italian language courses run throughout the year. The majority of our students attend at least one 90-minute session per week and many students will try to do more than one session depending on work commitments.

Our Italian teachers are available Monday – Friday from 8am – 8pm, and Weekend Courses can also be arranged on request.

Our intensive Italian language courses run for 30 hours per week, (6 hours per day Monday – Friday), and take place on our clients’ premises or at a residential centre here in the UK or abroad.

Italian Course Content

The content of your Italian language course will reflect your level and your particular objectives. We will assess your Italian language level before your course, and discuss with you in detail the subject areas you wish to focus on.

You may be a complete beginner looking for day-to-day Italian ‘survival’ language skills, or a more proficient Italian speaker needing to improve your fluency when discussing areas such as law, banking, finance, insurance, sales, travel, marketing, and administration.

You may want to focus on improving your Italian for meetings, discussions and negotiations, or to concentrate on improving your listening comprehension, pronunciation and telephone skills.

Whatever your needs, working with one of our highly experienced Italian language trainers you can be confident that the content of your Italian language course will be tailored just for you and that you will soon be meeting your objectives.

Supporting Documentation

At the start of your Italian language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw, invaluable weblinks to language learning sources, and a ‘What’s On’ diary of forthcoming cultural and artistic events for learners of Italian.

Italian Language Examination Courses

We can also help prepare you for Italian examinations of a business or general nature. We are proud to say our students have a 95% pass rate in language examinations, and their success further underlines the value we place on working with Italian teachers with above average experience.

As part of our service, SIMON & SIMON will also organise the registration and administration of Italian examinations and the issuing of result certificates.

 

If you would like to discuss any aspect of our Italian Language Courses, complete our short Enquiry Form and we will get in touch with you promptly. Thank you.
