"Obviously I'm left with wonderful memories and great photographs. But AHA has given me something much more special than that: not just an intense love for Italy and everything that it encompasses, but also a genuine yearning for both knowledge and new experiences in general. I find myself utterly enthusiastic about the rest of my gap year, what university has to offer and everything beyond."

Tutors and Groups
What is the tuition like?
Illuminating, fascinating, inspiring! For a course of 24 students there are four tutors. Each day the three tutorial groups set out in different directions to follow a theme according to the carefully structured itinerary. Tutors teach according to their specialist interests enabling students to appreciate different approaches to the subject. Usually a tutorial group would visit two or three sites in a morning with a break along the way. Day by day students become more confident; understanding, enjoying and commenting on the vast visual world around them. Students will be supplied with a suggested reading list (click here) and shorter notes, which are invaluable for the course and thereafter. We go to many places far from the madding crowd, some of which are public but are barely visited, others are by private appointment.
What are the Tutors like?
Judging from thank you letters and word of mouth recommendations, we know that our tutors are a significant selling point for the course. AHA tutors are specialists, entirely approachable and have a passion for all things Italian. They are sympathetic and dedicated to encouraging the best in all students of every academic background. Much as they wear their academic laurels lightly, they are committed to making comprehensible the artists, writers, and architects who are the real stars of the cultural galaxy. Having brilliant tutors on the course who muck-in in the evenings, travel with the students and stay in the same hotel, not only means they are on hand at all times, but also allows students to embibe the positive wonder, happiness and satisfaction that we all get from Italy.
