IN GOOD HANDS

When you are in a class with an instructor of the Scuola Toscana, you know you are in good hands.
Our instructors are professional
* graduated at the Italian University
* they have completed a practical and theoretical training as teachers of Italian as second language for adults
* they follow every year an updating course on the latest teaching techniques.
At the Scuola Toscana we invest in people – maybe you will find other schools fancier, or more elegant, but hardly with teacher as prepared, serious and dedicated as ours; ask them for all the questions you have about Italian language and culture; for all the other questions, apply to our secretary (open 8:30 to 16:30, monday through friday)

Enjoy!
