Testimonials from students:

“After trying to learn from apps and videos, I felt stuck and uninspired by my progress. But that all changed when I started learning French with Brigitte! Her bespoke online classes provided me with the learning structure I needed - with the right balance of grammar and conversational French. Brigitte is very good humoured and it’s wonderful to be taught expressions from a French native. I am delighted with my progress and I always look forward to my next class!

“Brigitte has taught French to both our children over a period of four years. Initially to improve their confidence and facility in French and later as they prepared to take their GCSE exams. Neither of them were capable in speaking or writing French and we were not in a position to give them expert support at home. Brigitte is a native speaker but does not, as some native speakers do, assume that speaking French comes naturally. She is very supportive and quickly instills confidence in her pupils. She has a practical approach and is very happy to focus on the needs of the exam-oriented curriculum if required. With just one hour a week, our children achieved well above our expectations in their exams. Brigitte is also someone we have been very happy to have in our home, she is gentle, supportive and has a straightforward teacher-pupil relationship with the kids.”

“In the first six weeks of my lessons with Brigitte, I learnt more than during my GCSE and A-levels combined. Her lessons are paced well with a clear progression. Brigitte maintains a balance of comprehension, listening, speaking and grammar to suit the individual level and needs of the learner. Homework is well judged and an opportunity to consolidate learning. As a native speaker, her knowledge of pronunciation, colloquialisms and the complexities of the grammar are excellent. Rigorous yet encouraging, challenging and always supportive.”
