Location in which Language Courses, Training & Coaching, Teaching and Tutoring services take place
The locations in which the language courses and other traditional (face-to-face) services we offer – such as private lessons, tutoring sessions, training sessions and coaching – can be chosen as follows:
- The student’s home or office
- The premises of a company
- An office space
- An alternative site such as one of the numerous Study Rooms available through the excellent Chicago Public Library system
- A different space, such as a meeting room or a conference space to be agreed in accordance with the client’s needs
Italian Language and Culture Courses
Schedules are flexible. All the year round!
We prefer small group courses, consisting of 2 to 6 students (on average there are 3 to 4 students per class)
Individual tuition can be an option at all times
Culture courses can be adapted to the needs of each student. In that case, they are available as individual lessons. However, you can also choose to take them as group lessons, provided that at least three participants are enrolled
All the language and culture courses we offer are designed for adult students without limit of age. We may consider, at our discretion, registration for students with a minimum age of 16
Teaching/learning materials, such as textbooks, workbooks, and DVDs vary depending on the course and level of enrolment. Learning materials are not included in the tuition. We strongly recommend their purchase on the first day of class
Our courses are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): learning, teaching and evaluation. Upon request, at the end of the course students receive a certificate of attendance
All enrollees will be required to perform a simple preliminary test, consisting of a brief interview and written placement test, in order to evaluate the corresponding initial linguistic competence. The exception to this rule can only be made for complete beginners
Yes we do. And if we can not find a perfect match for you, we will design it at no additional cost
Unfortunately No. You can make card payments on our website and we are happy to assist you, if needed
Yes, but any fees charged by the sending or receiving banks are your responsibility
Translation services
Each project assignment starts with the client’s request through sending us the document for which translation is needed. We will then evaluate the type of work necessary for the translation and will submit a price quotation based on our analysis. Upon approval from the client, we will officially start the first step, of the three needed to complete the service: translating the document from the source to the target language. As a second step, another member of our team will proofread the document against the original, performing a grammar check (for syntax, morphology, vocabulary and semantics), and to ensure that culturally different thoughts and not-straightforward sentences, (idioms, for instance) are properly translated in the document we produce. Any change that is made is further reviewed from the original translator and additional changes could be made if he or she deems it appropriate. As third final step, the document is proofread once more to ensure each of its parts is grammatically correct and that all of its contents flow appropriately in accordance with the original document.
All of our translators are highly trained and experienced in the field of translation, and are native in the target language - which is the language we translate the document into. This is important to ensure that the translated document we produce is of the highest possible quality and reads as though it was written in that language originally and not as though it was translated.
The standard turnaround time is three business days. To this, administration time may be added for formatting work, if requested. For documents over 2,000 words or those that are highly technical in nature, additional time will be required. We will discuss any detail with client at the time of quotation.
If the text to be translated contains confidential information, we guarantee, contractually upon request, total confidentiality in handling the information which you entrust to us.
The easiest way to get started is by completing the Free Quote form in all of its parts and uploading the document(s) you wish to have translated to our secure server. Or, if you prefer, you may choose to send us your documents via postal service or email as at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We will send the finished translation back to you by your preferred method of delivery.
