Frequently Asked Questions:
I don’t understand where we will have the lessons.
I offer online lessons using Google Meet. Google Meet is free software and a popular platform for video and audio calls. It’s really easy to use. It works on PC, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones. You’ll also need a good Internet connection.
Is a tutor able to teach two people instead of one during the 1:1 lesson?
As long as you and your learning partner both have the same level and are in the same room, tutors will usually be fine with teaching you together. When you book and fill in your details, just make it clear that there are two of you.
How long will it take to improve my Italian?
There is no single answer. Each student is different and therefore the effort and time it takes to reach your goals varies according to several factors. The more classes you take, and the more exposure to the language you get outside the class, the sooner you will learn the language.
How many lessons per week should I take?
You can take as many lessons per week as you want. If you only want to maintain your Italian at the same level, one lesson a week is fine. If you want to improve your Italian, we recommend a minimum of two lessons per week. Of course, the more lessons you take, the faster your Italian will improve.
Do you supply the learning material?
I do supply the learning material for Traveler class and private kids' students. For all the other classes, you need to buy a textbook.
How far in advance can I schedule my lessons?
You need to schedule all lessons at least 24 hours before the start time of the lesson.
Can I cancel already booked lessons?
Private Lessons: Cancellations or rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled lesson. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice are non-refundable.
Group Classes: Cancellations must be made at least 7 days before the first scheduled class to receive a refund. Registrations become non-refundable within 7 days of the course start date and after the course has begun. No refunds or credits will be issued for individual classes missed by the student.
If a class or course is canceled by Italiano4you, students will receive a full refund or may choose to apply the payment toward another class.
How can I pay?
We usually receive payments using Venmo or Zelle. It is a very safe payment method.
