Scuola Penny Wirton Torino – Corso Unione Sovietica

At the Corso Unione Sovietica venue, Scuola Penny Wirton Torino offers Italian through one-to-one meetings between a learner and a volunteer. The school offers free tuition and works without class grades. Its approach leaves room for people whose speaking, reading and writing have developed at different speeds. A learner who already uses spoken Italian in Turin can work on a different task from someone encountering the language for the first time.

How individual lessons work

Students attend during the teaching sessions organised by the local school. Working with one learner at a time gives the volunteer an opportunity to adjust the pace, return to a difficult point or spend more time on an immediate need. The Turin association belongs to the wider Penny Wirton network, and several venues in the city participate. Each site has its own teaching times, so learners should look specifically at the timetable for Corso Unione Sovietica.

Where lessons take place

Lessons at this site take place on the second floor of the city's Passepartout premises at 228/D Corso Unione Sovietica. The school gives directions for the pedestrian entrance. Its enrolment arrangements include a separate help desk on Via San Pio V, which is useful to distinguish from the address of the classroom when making a first visit.
