Italian Language and History of Art (CC2)

My wife and I took a trip to Italy with the intention of taking Italian language classes for a week. I had done so in Florence in the past and we decided on Tiberius International in Rimini for a change.

The administration staff was very accomodating and interactive throughout our time leading up to the class and moreso when we arrived.

The classes were personal and adapted to each of the students level of ability. Only 5-6 students per class. Both instructors were incredibly friendly, enthusiatic and knowledgeable; making the classes energetic and cooperative.

The class times may have been a little longer than I'd prefer (2 hours), but the location was ideally set in the city center with plenty of activities surrounding, i.e. cafes, restaurants, museums.

Looking forward to another opportunity to continue learning in Rimini.

Super friendly teachers and staff with a good balance of different teaching methods within the class. The school is right next to Piazza Cavour and on the main street of the antique city, between both the 2000 year old Arco di Agosto and the bridge Ponte Tiberio, so a perfect location. Just a short walk over the bridge you'll find Borgo San Giuliano which we did an excursion with the class to one day to take photos and reflect on what we saw. We also did several excursions to the market which is set up every wednesday and saturday, and got to communicate with local people. And of course, in Rimini you have the beach as far as the eye can see, and you can go everywhere on a bike.

I booked housing through the school and was extreamly pleased with what I got. The apartment was really nice, I had a large room, a balcony and a rooftop. The hostess was the sweetest lady who spoke with me every day, taught me how to cook, and even cleaned my room. On the first day she walked around town with me to show me where to go, and another day we biked together and she helped me order pizza, and she was always super kind and helpful.

The only part I've rated lower than Excellent is social activities, but this is only because I'm a student with a limited budget. There were held weekly excursions and activites, often times guided tours, which I usually didn't join in order to save some money. It was however not expensive. Also, being a student, I might have envisioned more social gatherings after class, but being such a small and diverse class, this didn't always happen. I did however have great time with people from class both during and after courses, and I especially appreciated going to the nearby café in the break with my classmates. So it depends on what kind of social activity you're looking for, whether you prefer large homogenous groups like students, or appreciate more small groups of very different and interesting people from all over the world.

Take a language course in Rimini at Tiberius if you want a great, unforgettable and authentic experience with a beautiful beach nearby and always sunny weather. I highly reccommend it.

I had a wonderful stay at Tiberius international, good quality teachers, Serena and Andrea, and wonderful ambiance with very friendly owner, Monica. I loved the free city walk with Andrea, and the possibility to make a excursion with a few other students. Thank you so much. I had a superb time with you, greetings Anouk from the Netherlands

I’m really happy with my stay at Tiberius International. We had a mixed class of 2-7 people from all over the world. The atmosphere in the classroom is really respectful, funny and calm.
Since the class was mixed and the language levels were a bit different from person to person, the lessons were a bit slow sometimes. The teacher, did anyway a good job and tried to adjust to the different levels and gave me some additional exercises.

The classes are well structured and fun, the teacher is excelent and well prepared to handle and teach foreign students, mixing grammar, speech and fun activities in a very interesting and engaging manner. The school is located in Rimini’s historic center, transportation is available, also, if you arrive by car you can park close by.
