How to enroll
To enroll, select a course in the timetable below. You will be redirected to the course page; click on Add to Cart > View Cart > Proceed to checkout, where you may pay either by using PayPal or credit card.
Please ignore all the “username” and “password” fields – accounts are not setup for students.
If you have never studied Italian before please select one of the “A1.1 Absolute beginner” classes. All other students are encouraged to take our Placement Test.
Make-up Classes
Students who miss a lesson should ask the teacher for the corresponding materials and, for online classes, the recording of the missed lesson.
Each student may make up no more than 1 class per semester. Make-up lessons are available subject to the space in the class they wish to attend. Make-ups are not guaranteed, but are offered according to availability as a courtesy to our students.
If a student has missed multiple classes and feels they are struggling to keep up, they are encouraged to book a private catch-up class.

Promotions and discounts
Buy one class, get second 20% off:
For students who wish to attend 2 classes: use the coupon code “SECOND” at checkout to get the discount. Please note that this promotion is not valid for absolute beginners.
Early registration discounts are also offered at the beginning of every enrollment period.
Cancellation Policy
Refunds requested within one week from the first class are 100% refundable, minus the textbook fee ($40).
After the second class we only allow change of levels (upon availability) but there will be no refunds, nor can we give credit for a later semester. We cannot be flexible on this policy, regardless of whether the course is attended or not.
All courses are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR); these levels are the global standard for grading an individual’s language proficiency and they are internationally recognized.
