Student reviews about "Standard Intensive - Gold" at Scuola Toscana
Adrian 5.0
"Good. Classes in the morning so you end at 12pm with all of the afternoon to do things."
Victoria King 5.0
"Good"
Diana 4.0
"It was exciting to get to know such different people, even of different ages. I liked the way Daniela always tried to involve everyone equally. There was a bit too much grammar, so that in the second week I felt a bit ‘learning fatigue’. This is more of a personal impression."

“Very good teachers and very kind staff. I really learnt a lot in these two weeks, all was very well explained by the teachers.”
“Students don't progress at the same speed, at the end I felt like I could have learnt way more but my classmate held me back. Also not really a weakness but I was expecting to meet more young people (I'm 21) and half the students were retired (were all still very nice!).”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Good. Classes in the morning so you end at 12pm with all of the afternoon to do things.

“I really liked the warm and friendly atmosphere. The teachers are knowledgeable and very supportive. The group composition was great. The participants came from different countries and generations.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: I don't think he was very specific, since there were also quite a few younger participants. But that's actually a good thing.

“I really enjoyed Lidia's tour of Santa Croce. The city tour on Mondays is also good.”
“The school is very small. There were only two of us on the course. I had the same teacher for my morning classes and my private lessons, which wasn’t very effective. The secretary is rather disorganised, and everything feels very impersonal. The rooms are very cold. Contrary to what was advertised, there is no library, no cinema room and no cafeteria, so there’s no opportunity to get to know the other students. There is no modern technology in the classroom.”
Insider tip: “I wouldn’t choose them again.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Private lessons are important. Unlike at other schools, you don't automatically receive a certificate.
Other comments: I've changed to Parola.

“High, sometimes demanding level (possibly due to the level of previous knowledge), very good teachers. Afternoon events with an excellent range of activities and very well-prepared (art) history tours.”
“This is certainly unfamiliar for students who are used to media-supported teaching (e.g. smartboards, other media). But it is certainly good for students who prefer traditional analogue learning. During the tours, it would be good to have a sound transmission system, because otherwise individual conversations between the tour guide and individual students tend to develop, and the group is then less able to participate.”

“Openness and commitment of the teacher (Daniela), good mix of the group, helpfulness of the staff, good learning books. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.”
“I didn't notice any major weaknesses. Perhaps a little more conversation would be good.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was exciting to get to know such different people, even of different ages. I liked the way Daniela always tried to involve everyone equally. There was a bit too much grammar, so that in the second week I felt a bit ‘learning fatigue’. This is more of a personal impression.

“Very good teachers, flexibility (I asked if I could take a week's holiday after four weeks and then add on the week of lessons, which was no problem at all), the girls in the office are very helpful, good teaching concept, school is very centrally located near the church of Santa Croce. On the first day, a tour of the city is offered in the afternoon, which is very helpful for orientation if you have just arrived. Apart from that, there are always interesting activities.”
“The school is in a historic building and let's put it this way, it needs to be renovated (classrooms, toilets...). One thing that could be changed really quickly would be to buy more comfortable chairs for the classrooms. I had 6 hours of lessons every day and after 4 hours my bum started to hurt on these hard wooden chairs!”
Insider tip: “My absolute highlight was Le Capellee Medicee.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Very well structured lessons and the 2 hours of private lessons (2 x 60 min) every afternoon were also extremely helpful.
Other comments: I would recommend the school without reservation, even if the facilities are a bit outdated.

Adrian

Room: 4.0
"30 minutes away from every "important" part of the city, so at the same time close and far. The lady that hosted me couldn't have been nicer to me. The room was a bit small but for two weeks it's more than okay. I feel like the apartment could have been a bit cleaner, but it wasn't gross either.

"The accommodation with the host family was great. However, the walk to the language school was very long at around 40 minutes. There is also a bus, but it was very unreliable and often overcrowded.

"A very warm welcome from Rosanna. I felt very comfortable and welcome right from the start. An uncomplicated approach. Willing to help with words and deeds. My language skills benefited greatly thanks to the host family and I was also able to gain an insight into the everyday life of an Italian family. I am very grateful for this time with Rosanna and her family. We have become good colleagues. I would recommend a stay with Rosanna to anyone. The distance to school is average, bus stop is nearby, even different lines. The residential neighbourhood, away from the tourist crowds, was an advantage for me. I could walk or take the bus, a bike would certainly be another good option. I had my privacy and a place to retreat as well as contact with my family. Rosanna enjoys meeting new people and likes to do so.

"I couldn't have found a better place to stay, because the people there listened to me and I was able to share things with them... Meal times were a time to relax and chat, and the home-cooked dinner was always excellent, with its diversity, quantity and quality. A real family! I had tears in my eyes when I left them! THANK YOU

FAQ about Scuola Toscana, Florence

I am considering booking a course for myself (an adult) and my 14-year-old daughter for 2 weeks Standard Intensive Gold with Scuola Toscana. It says that the minimum age is 15. Do they make exceptions? She is a beginner and she is preparing for high school where she will have Italian as the main foreign language, so she is a serious and motivated student.
“We also accept students under 15 if accompanied by their parents. We have already had teenagers between 12 and 15 years old, who have attended the courses for adults and they have had a good time.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
