Student Comments

“I love the class because Maureen is an excellent teacher and communicator, with an extensive knowledge of the current Italian language and culture. She gives us plenty variety, always  ensures we all understand each topic  before moving on to the next,  and has a great teacher/pupil relationship with us.  She gives us confidence both in speaking and writing and  makes learning  good fun, with lots of laughter in the class. I look forward to it every  week! ”

“I have been learning Italian for ten years as I have an Italian grandson. Maureen has been my teacher for the last three years. The class I am attending is the advanced class. We are a very enthusiastic group as Maureen keeps us interested in all our lessons. Maureen's knowledge of the language is exceptional. The lessons are well planned and cover all types of learners. Her teaching skills are such that our learning is always consolidated in different ways. The same people are still attending these classes and there are ten of us at least - that says it all. ”

— Kay Thomson, Blairgowrie

“I enjoy the opportunity Maureen's classes give me to practise listening to and speaking Italian.

My ear and brain are brought together in the group work we practise in Maureen' s classes.  The class is described as for 'improvers' , a fun way to do just that.  Just about a perfect combination of instruction and participation.”

— Lesley, Perth

— Jane, Dollar

 

“I enjoy Maureen's classes and her avant-garde style of teaching - not TOO structured and not TOO serious.  She puts a lot of effort into it and we, as a class, reap the benefits. Think it's called FUN!”

— Isobel McQueen, Perth

 

“Going to my Italian class on  Friday with Maureen is one of the week's highlights. The class is fun but we all work hard, not to mention the homework which we do religiously.  Maureen is exactly what anyone could want as a teacher - dedicated, encouraging and patient with all my mistakes. ”

 

- Sheila Mannion, Blairgowrie

 

“I really enjoyed the course because it provided a good balance between structural grammar and spoken conversation. There was the opportunity to discuss points of grammar that came up and the material used was level appropriate and confidence building." 

— Shona, Perth

 

“Excellent teacher, relaxed class, none of the usual pressure that can be daunting to adult learners. Surprised at how much I learned so quickly and easily!”

— Molly Stuart

 

“I find the classes well organised, relaxed (usually we laugh a lot), informal but most importantly we learn italian.  Other attractions include Italian cooking and also a week long Italian conversation get together - these are optional.”
