"My search for a French tutor who understands the TCF/TEF French language test led me to Google. It was a risk, but I'm thrilled to have discovered this school. Her responsiveness to my initial inquiry was exceptional. Her ten-session price is also very reasonable, especially compared to other options. Her deeply one-on-one approach sets her apart, making me feel valued and understood. The program's flexibility is also an excellent fit for those with busy work schedules. You can learn French from the comfort of your own home. I quickly learned and was captivated by listening to a native French speaker, which added an exciting and intriguing element to my learning experience."

"Virginie is an excellent teacher. She is kind, patient and encouraging. She creates engaging lessons that make learning exciting, and even fun. She tailors the curriculum to meet my needs (business) and interests (travel to France.) I was extremely intimidated to begin studying as an adult and she immediately put me at ease, promising me it wasn't too late to start. I've learned so much and gained a ton of confidence working with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"I've been taking French classes with them for over two years, and it has been a fantastic experience. I started with French after visiting Paris a few times, and Sam is a skilled teacher with exceptional attention to detail tailored to each student. We are reinforcing previous classes/lectures, and homework assignments are practical and align with the material taught in the class. I love this weekly class where I can improve my ability to speak a foreign language and at the same time learn more about so many topics!"

"I have been taking classes with Virginie for a few years, both before and after moving from the UK to France. She is an excellent teacher who has helped me to steadily improve my french from zero to being able to live in the french speaking world.
Virginie is very good at personalising lessons to the topics you are interested in and helps you to feel comfortable when practicing your newly learned skills.
I would highly recommend her as a teacher. "

"I've been studying French for leisure for many years. I've tried group classes and private lessons with different teachers. I love Virginie's teaching style. She's very patient and encouraging. She identifies my weaknesses and takes the time to explain grammatical errors or how some words can only be used in certain situations. She teaches her class using varying activities and topics to keep classes and homework interesting. Despite my busy work schedule in Australia, Virginie is always accommodating. "

"J'ai beaucoup de trous dans mon français ! Malgré cela, Virginie est patiente et gentille, mais elle n'hésite pas à faire une correction. C'est ce que je recherchait.
Comme une prof de français, Virginie est formidable ! Elle continue de m'étonner. Bien sûr, le français est sa langue maternelle, mais elle a les caractéristiques d'une excellente prof. Elle peut tirer le français de l'étudiante le plus réticent. Aussi, son style de conversation est détendu mais complet.
Virginie était la meilleure quand j'ai étais malade. Elle était tellement disposée å faire des changements, à faire des ajustements pour moi. J'ai apprécié ça. La vie arrive et Virginie comprend !
Pour moi, Virginie est la professeure idéal !"

"My daughter started French lessons at public school. After 4 years, I noticed she always returned to the same subjects without structure. She was not at all comfortable with the French, and she was bored. When she was 8 years old, I enrolled her in one weekly class. I was initially skeptical, especially because the classes were online; I was afraid she would be distracted. But Virginie has developed a method that allows children to be interested and keeps them alert! My daughter is now 12 years old, and she loves French. She is interested in culture and history; she even discovered a passion for French pastry! She now speaks easily, masters tenses, understands grammatical terms, and has fun in class! She has a perfect accent, and I know Virginie takes great care to work on it from a young age. I couldn't hope for better. It's a great satisfaction for me because I know that she will be able to go far in her studies in Canada thanks to this, and she continues classes even today."

"I have been taking French lessons with Virginie for over 5 years and have made a lot of progress. Virginie is an excellent teacher and has a great sense of humor! The classes are enjoyable and cover various topics, and the homework is always well-adapted to my level. I highly recommend it!"
Cameron : Actress
Los Angeles, USA
Bonjour, My name is Cameron and I've been taking lessons with Samuel and Virginie for almost 6 months now. I cannot praise them or their teaching skills enough. They are the best teachers I could ever ask for. Patient, kind, and effective! You never feel embarrassed and always feel encouraged. In the time I've taken lessons I have grown to understand most conversations and speak better than I ever thought I would in this amount of time. Everything about our process is personal to fit my needs which I think is so special considering most other teachers or programs aren't. They have given me the most valuable gift in knowledge and confidence with this language and it has truly changed my life. I am so happy to have a lifelong skill that I've always wanted and am only regretful I didn't start sooner. If you have always wanted to do this but just never committed I highly encourage you. It's truly worth every minute and now you've found the right person.

"Samuel is an amazing instructor! He provides a supportive, relaxed, and friendly environment to learn. He is not only beyond qualified, but he made you feel very at ease...which is not always easy when learning something new! The classes are very interactive, and practical, and address not only the language but also the culture. In my opinion, the classes are personal and unique, because, for him, teaching is personal imagine a better place to learn French!
