Testimonials
I thoroughly recommend the Italian classes run by the delightful Rosella. She is a born teacher, making the classes entertaining as well as instructive, and the added bonus is a small class. Easily the most enjoyable way of learning a language, even for an 80-year-old!

I started my English classes with Aidan to correct my pronunciation, improve my English and also to gain self-confidence and to correct little mistakes that I do being not a native English speaker. I really love my classes with him. He has all weeks a good subject prepared to have a good conversation, with the added bonus of our Trivial Questions. Later in the day he sends me an audio with the words that I need to correct, and exercises, extra videos for better comprehension and whatever I need to do my best. I appreciate his effort to be professional and at the same time conduct a fun and easy class.

For the past 2 years I have been a student of Paul's learning the German language. His in depth knowledge of the language allowed me to better understand its nuances. Paul is a patient teacher, and he adapts lessons to accommodate my sometimes slow learning and will use listening, coupled with reading and speaking and then constantly reviewing. With COVID I was able to continue my lessons via zoom, which was a huge help to me. His relaxed yet focused lessons have allowed me to grasp the German language - which have enabled me to speak well enough to converse both verbally and in writing. I could not recommend him highly enough!

I am very happy with Rosella’s Italian teaching, and I am really enjoying learning in our Italian class with her. As a teacher of forty years, I am able to see that Rosella teaches to where our class is at. Subsequently, I am feeling confident enough to participate in our Italian conversations. Rosella is at all times very positive & encouraging of our efforts. I love our Italian classes.

I first joined MPLCS for Italian classes at the beginning of 2019 shortly after I moved to the Peninsula. The classes have always been amazing and a great way to learn with fun and informative native-speaker teachers. When the pandemic struck, I didn't want to stop my Italian classes, even though they couldn't be conducted in the rooms at Mornington. Diana organised for me to do the classes by Zoom. I have kept up with this learning platform because the teachers are incredible and the classes are so much fun. I have progressed at a really pleasing rate. Thank you to Diana and Giulia and Barbara. Keep up the great work.

I have studied four languages at various language schools on and off over many years. My Japanese classes at Mornington Peninsula Language and Cultural Studies (MPLCS) with Harumi are the most well organised, well presented language classes I have ever had the pleasure to attend. Carefully constructed classes, well-thought-out and delivered.

I really enjoyed my first class with Nathalie this afternoon. You can tell she really enjoys teaching—she is warm and engaging, and very patient and generous. She made sure we were all understood and gave us good feedback when we made mistakes. The class moved at a good pace and everyone got plenty of time to practice speaking as there were only four of us. I took heaps of notes during class!

Anna is a great teacher with plenty of experience in being able to educating people like myself in learning Italian. Would highly recommend the course to anyone!

I have been a student since the school began and have enjoyed it immensely. My teachers have all been first class. My current teacher Giulia and past teachers, Federica and Barbara, are all from Italy and have made the experience truly authentic and fun. Giulia has a passion for sharing her language and culture, which makes MPLCS a great place to learn the Italian language.

Good location! Small class sizes were beneficial. Thanks, Diana, for the classes. They were very engaging, using relevant examples and games. I've gained from the course motivation to continue to learn Spanish.

Very quaint but good for small groups! Fun and renewed my love and skills of French language. The games with cards/verb learning with Nathalie are fun and actually helped my verb skills! Nathalie is an excellent teacher and fun!

Nathalie has been tutoring our older two children in French for about 8 weeks now. Being French-born, Nathalie speaks the language beautifully, and she creates a fun immersive environment for the children to learn quickly and easily. Her patience and kindness with the children is wonderful, and she has been adept at keeping them both focussed, even though our son's French is more developed than our daughter's. The children have just started their second term with Nathalie, and we are already looking forward to seeing the children's second language develop and grow even more.
