French Reviews

Enjoyable and helpful evenings

I enjoy the classroom Q&A exercises where we have to formulate the questions and answers from a variety of topics.

A good opportunity to learn about French life, and hear and speak the language.

Not using on online approach, so no comments. I understood course runs until 12 December and not 31 October as listed in this survey. So far I am satisfied with both the materials and teacher, I like Sophies style and approach.

Sophie runs a fun and informative class and makes sure everyone has the opportunity to contribute . I have no criticism of the format but would be delighted if a beginners ‘ conversation class could be run alongside this one - would be a great addition . Most conversation classes are aimed at fluent speakers and I think there is an opportunity to serve those who are more hesitant but wish to practice their new language skills .

I have found the course to be most enjoyable and informative. I wish I had started sooner, but the online format works well for me as I cannot travel to the school. It is a friendly and inclusive group and Jean-Michel has given me the confidence to continue learning.

I am very pleased that I chose this course. I am particularly pleased with my course teacher Vanessa who is such a great teacher. She has been so kind, patient and understanding with a beginner like me. If I decide to do more courses with the school I would definitely choose Vanessa to be my teacher again. She is most certainly an asset to your school.

I have just completed 8 weeks French tuition with Vanessa Francesconi, via an offer available through the Civil Service sports/social club. Vanessa tailored the course perfectly, striking the right balance for the 2 of us who were revisiting learning a foreign language after many years (more so in my case) away from a classroom. I thoroughly enjoyed our on line sessions and appreciated her patience when we were trying to remember things learnt long ago, as well as things forgotten in less than a couple of weeks. I extended my initial 6 weeks and was grateful Vanessa was willing to continue on a 1 to 1 basis for the extra 2 weeks. Her time living in France gave an extra dimension to the lessons and certainly added to the learning experience for me. Work permitting, I am hoping to enrol for a further course later in the year. I would be grateful if you could pass on my comments and record them in some way, so as to showcase the talents of this lady, who is undoubtedly an asset to your company. Many thanks, Pete L

I am really enjoying the course, the materials are suitable for someone of my age.
