“I had initially signed for an intermediate group class, but, unfortunately, when I got to Corfu, I was informed that the other members of the group had cancelled last minute, which didn’t feel like a good start. However, the teacher, Vassilki, really did all her best to compensate for that and I received private lessons during the whole week which really helped me advance more quickly than I probably would have in the group. She really understood my needs and provided a lot of information which will help me in the future. I maybe missed having more of a chance to speak with people at my level. The last part every morning was dedicated to Greek culture lectures, but since the rest of the students were from the starting level, they had to be done in English, while I would have liked to have a bit more of Greek there too. Still, they were very enjoyable, the same as the full day cultural trip we did in Corfu town, including a lovely lunch by the sea. In all, I have to say that it was a lovely experience, even if it was not exactly what I had signed for. I would certainly recommend Andrioti school for Greek courses in a beautiful environment such as Corfu.”

“The classes are well equipped and the excellent and friendly teachers make the lessons very understandable and so interesting that a course is definitely worth ist.
The location and the equipment fit well. The City tour was also a highlight in the “School week”. My hotel was not far from the school an so within a short time on foot easily accessible.”

“I had a great experience . The teacher was very qualified. She had the ability to speak mostly Greek but integrating just enough English to make sure that everyone in the class was following. It was challenging but rewarding. I realized my understanding is much better. The school is very professional and personal at the same time. The day out was also fabulous. I live in Corfu for a couple of years but yet rediscovered the magic of the Old Town. That was a gift. Thank you. I would come again for more intensive”

“A truly wonderful experience. While we reviewed the basics of the modern Greek language, the trainers also embedded the culture and history of Corfu into the curriculum. I would highly recommend this course and school.”

“My young teacher was a very nice and competent person who explained the complicated Greek grammar in a way which is easily understood. The lessons were interesting and varied. As there were no other students at that time I took classes because of the season, there were no social activities which I missed but which is understandable. I am very pleased to have improved my language skills in one week.”

“The few days I spent at Andrioti School were lovely. The location of the school is at the center so walking to and from the town was convenient, and the classrooms were very clean and well equipped. The staff I met couldn’t have been nicer. We had morning sessions with a small group which worked well, although the group’s abilities seemed quite mixed. We covered quite a lot of grammar and I would like to continue my studies by leaning to use more varied vocabulary, perhaps through sentence construction and repeating exercises, to make my overall conversation skills better. All in all, it was a really happy place to study.”

“I never had so much fun and enjoyment out of my Greek as a foreign language course and I got my diploma! If I had stayed longer in Corfu, I know with you behind me, I would be fluent now! Thank for a wonderful learning experience.”

“Teachers were all very friendly, loving and caring. My daughter liked all of them. At the age of seven she managed to make friends with other children at school. Now she really enjoys writing letters to them and even sends presents to them. The atmosphere was really friendly there! The location was perfect as the school is situated within walking distance from the historical center of the town and you can get there easily by bus from any part of the island. The classrooms were modern and air-conditioned. There is a library and you can borrow any book you like there. We attended Open Days in June, 2015 and we took part in different activities. They offered different variations and levels of the language. I have never seen such teachers! The teachers who love children so much!”
