David said: Great course, well delivered by Claudio.

Andrew said: Joe was a lovely host. He brought all the disperate information and course content together every evening into a meaningful whole so that each lesson was another step forward in our learning process. Very calm and thoughtful in approach. We all felt comfortable to explore and expose our own lack of knowledge with him and in so doing gain a better understanding of our chosen language He is clearly an experienced teacher with a passion for his subject.
-
Tania said: I liked Claudio's sense of humour. He enjoys the social interaction and is very encouraging. The lessons were well-planned. It must be difficult to teach a language to a group of disparate people but we all made great progress.
