Why private Italian lessons work better for most learners
One-to-one attention means every minute of the lesson is spent on what you actually need.
Group classes are efficient for the school running them, not necessarily for you. In a class of eight, you might get a few minutes of speaking time per lesson. In a private lesson, the entire hour is built around your Italian.

It also means pace is entirely yours. If you pick up verb conjugations quickly but need more time on listening comprehension, your tutor spends the time where it’s actually needed instead of following a fixed timetable.
For many students, the flexibility matters just as much as the attention — lessons can be rescheduled around work trips, exam timelines can shift priorities for a few weeks, and the whole plan can evolve as your Italian does.
