Why should I study at CIS?

There is no better way to let our students tell you why you should study at the Centre of Italian Studies.

The best aspect was learning with such a great group of people and a wonderful teacher. A most enjoyable evening every time.

— Jason, Level 3
The teachers are engaging and speak only Italian in classroom. Lot's of different topics are covered.

— Alessia, children courses
It was always fun and that makes the course easier to learn. Also our teacher is extremely patient and encouraging which makes the speaking part of the lesson less intimidating.
