NEW STUDENTS OFFER / Let’s Start – Italian Conversation Club: First 15 Lessons at $35 per Class

This course offers a structured and personalized preparation path for Italian language certification exams such as CILS, CELI, PLIDA, and other equivalent tests.

The preparation begins with a comprehensive overview of the exam format, structure, and evaluation criteria for each level (A1–C2). Students are guided through the different sections, listening, reading, writing, speaking, and grammar, to gain a clear understanding of the specific skills required.

Next, we move to guided practice sessions based on authentic past exam materials. At first, exercises are completed without strict time limits, allowing the student to focus on accuracy and understanding. Gradually, we introduce timed simulations to develop effective strategies for managing real exam conditions and pressure.

Throughout the course, I identify individual challenges and areas for improvement, offering targeted feedback and customized exercises to strengthen weaker skills. Difficult topics are addressed through concise theoretical explanations, practical drills, and educational activities designed to consolidate learning and boost confidence.

By the end of the preparation, students will not only be familiar with the exam format but will also have developed the competence, fluency, and strategies necessary to perform successfully and achieve their desired certification level.
