Ciao Italy - Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Torino - School of Italian Language

Absolutely wonderful and caring staff and teachers. Chiara was a dream, she set up an entire program for me. My professor, Maria G went through so much trouble and spent so much patience and time to go over everything I wanted and needed to learn. Cinque stelle, grazie a tutti :):)

I have been having online classes, and they have been wonderful. I have improved so much since I started. The teaching is excellent, friendly and accessible, and my communications with the school have always been positive.

Had a great experience with Ciao Italy when taking my B1 exam for Italian citizenship. The staff was very helpful and professional through the whole process. The pre-exam prep course that they offer was also very helpful. I highly recommend them!

As a beginning Italian speaker, I was looking forward to attending a month long class in Torino during 2020. With the lockdowns, Chiara offered alternative Zoom classes through her school. I have been taking 2, one hour personal classes per week for a semester with Monica. Monica has concentrated on improving my speaking, comprehension and writing and I am extremely happy with my progress. The hour is enjoyable, with Monica and me discussing current events and our interests as well as writing and even doing some tests. I have made substantial progress in all aspects of the language this year. My confidence has improved as has my competence. Italian friends and staff in Italian restaurants with whom I have a lot of fun conversing and picking up additional hints and colloquialisms, have been very enthusiastically helping me because I am gaining such a good grounding, vocabulary and ear from my classes. Thank you. David W. in Australia

(NEDERLANDSE RECENSIE ONDERAAN) I followed two courses (B1 and B2) at CiaoItaly Torino and totally loved it. With the small classes and dedicated teachers you get a lot of personal attention as a student. Because of the many trips you could do with the school, I not only learned the Italian language but also got to know the beautiful city of Turin. Together with students and teachers we often went out for dinner, drinks or to visit the multiple amazing museums in the city. Through the school I made many new international friends with whom I'm still in contact today. For the time I spent abroad in Turin, CiaoItaly really felt like home for me. Last couple of months I was able to join an online course at B2 level through Skype -partly due to the circumstances surrounding covid-19- and I was really happy to be back in class with CiaoItaly. Hopefully I can come back to Turin in the future to follow another live course. I can totally recommend everyone to do the same. Grazie per tutto Chiara Avidano ❤️ ?? _______________________________________________________________ Met veel plezier heb ik in 2018 twee cursussen gevolgd (B1 en B2) bij CiaoItaly Torino. Door de kleine klassen en super gedreven docenten krijg je veel persoonlijke aandacht als student. Door de vele uitstapjes die je via de school kan doen, leerde ik niet alleen de taal maar ook de prachtige stad Turijn beter kennen. Samen met studenten en docenten gingen we vaak na de les uit eten en de verschillende prachtige musea bezoeken. Via de school heb ik veel nieuwe internationale vrienden ontmoet waar ik nu nog steeds contact mee heb. Tijdens mijn tijd in Turijn was CiaoItaly dan ook als een thuis voor me. Afgelopen maanden heb ik -mede dankzij de omstandigheden rond covid-19- een online cursus B2 gevolgd via Skype wat heel goed is bevallen! Ik hoop in de toekomst ook nog eens terug te kunnen komen naar Turijn voor weer een live cursus! Ik kan iedereen aanraden hetzelfde te doen. Grazie per tutto Chiara Avidano ❤️ ??

I had the opportunity to study at Ciao Italy for over a year to learn Italian and prepare for the B2 CILS exam. Due to lockdowns, I have been as yet unable to take the exam, but thanks to Ciao Italy, I now feel very confident in my speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I took the group intensive classes for many months and really enjoyed them, after which I switched to private tutoring which was also very helpful. I will recommend Ciao Italy in the future!

Ciao Italy is absolutely fantastic! The school owner and advisor, Chiara Avidano, is an incredible communicator with students and they make sure foreign students have everything they need for moving to Italy. The teachers are incredible and the classes are so fun! I moved to Italy during the Coronavirus pandemic and they have easily worked around my schedule and quarantine so that I could continue learning. I highly recommend this school!!

Ciao Italy is located in a very central area of the city. The school is not huge but the spaces are enough for several students. All the classrooms are well equipped. Together with University of Turin, they are the only one participating in the program Marco Polo in the city. The program is intended for teaching Italian language to Chinese students. First floor, on the left side. Ask for Chiara, she’s a very polite and precise organizer. P.s.: no free parking places around.
