Italian Classes for Adults

How we help you decide

Looking for a one-on-one learning experience?

Italian classes for adults don’t only have to be in a group setting. If you prefer a smaller group, then our private classes are perfetto for you! Here, you will work individually with one of our teachers to take your Italian learning to the next level. We can also schedule classes at any day or time (or time zone!) that works for you, so you have maximum flexibility with your schedule. 

Enjoy learning in a group setting? 

Our group adult classes provide a sense of community for our students. You’ll get to interact and converse with your fellow classmates in a small group for a unique shared learning experience. Our group class students always emerge with a special bond at the end!

Want to learn the language with a side of culture? 

Our Italian culture classes offer you the chance to go beyond learning grammar and language, to truly immerse yourself in the Italian way of life. These classes feature unique experiences learning our heritage and tradition. We want to give you that authentic Italian feeling  and make sure it comes through, whether you’re in person or online.
