An intensive Italian course, built for a deadline
Accelerated, private tuition for learners with a specific date to prepare for — a move, a trip, or an exam.
Sometimes there isn't time for the gradual, once-a-week approach. Intensive tuition compresses progress into a shorter window through more frequent lessons and a tightly focused plan.
Book a Free ConsultationAn intensive course typically means several lessons a week rather than one, with your tutor deliberately sequencing material so each session builds directly on the last, rather than leaving long gaps where things get forgotten.
Because the timeline is tight, your tutor will usually prioritise ruthlessly — focusing on what will make the biggest practical difference for your specific goal, rather than covering Italian broadly.
Intensive students are typically expected to do some independent review between lessons; your tutor will keep this realistic given how frequently you’re already meeting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many lessons a week counts as intensive?
Most intensive plans involve three or more lessons a week, though this is tailored to your timeline and availability during your free consultation.
How much can I realistically learn in a short intensive period?
It depends on your starting point and the specific goal, but focused, frequent lessons can produce a noticeable jump in practical ability even over a few weeks.
Can an intensive course continue at a normal pace afterwards?
Yes — many students shift to one or two lessons a week once their immediate deadline has passed, to keep building on the progress made.
