Hello. my name is Sarah and I can't wait to meet you! In the trial lesson, I will ask you 10-20 questions to determine your level of English/ Italian and how you could best improve. I will give you written feedback that you can use in future lessons whether they're with me or another teacher.

Conversation courses focus primarily on oral communication and fluency. You will improve your listening and speaking skills in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere giving you the confidence you need to express yourself in English. While lively conversation and discussion is the main aim of this course, some vocabulary and grammar may be covered to enable you to improve your speaking skills.
