I´m enrolled in a one year transformation course from level 0 to TEF/TCF exam. The course is well structured and giving you a lot of information. It goes without saying that there´s a lot of self-study needed outside of the course, however, you can always ask for a help from your teacher or study group. I spent my first 6 months of the course with Frédérique and I´m so grateful for everything I learnt in her classes. Her teaching style and positive attitude made classes easier. Even though the learning process was difficult (obviously, because it´s French), I had a lot of fun during the lessons.

Estoy muy contenta de que ahora tengan presencia en Victoria!!!!! Los instructores son muy amables, están enfocados en crear una comunidad y que sus alumnos estén preparados para el examen por motivos de inmigración. Je suis très contente qu’ils aient maintenant une présence à Victoria !!!!! Les formateurs sont très aimables, ils se concentrent sur la création d’une communauté et veillent à ce que leurs élèves soient bien préparés pour l’examen pour des raisons d’immigration. I’m very happy that they now have a presence in Victoria!!!!! The instructors are very kind, they focus on building a community, and they make sure their students are well prepared for the exam for immigration purposes.

Bonjour! I would like to thank Noelie and the Learn French team for making it possible for me to get the sufficient result of TEF exam. The profound teaching of the clé grammar end mocking tests - that is the path :)

I completed Levels 4-6 in person and have just finished 1 month of TEF/TCF Prep. My experience has been extremely positive and I would fully recommend Learn French in Vancouver. Our teacher, Maï, uses her empathy and energy to create an environment where I have felt comfortable to make mistakes and push myself. This has helped me improve my French a great deal. Maï's lessons have been fun, engaging, and she is able to adapt the level of challenge for each class member.

I'm having a great experience learning French with Camille! She is patient, knowledgeable, and explains concepts very clearly. Her TEF/TCF preparation is helpful and boosted my confidence. I recommend her to anyone serious about learning French!

Needless to say if you are doing TEF prep for the purpose of immigration you know how stressful the process can be, but I’m so lucky that Maï is my instructor. Coming into the TEF prep class I have been learning French on and off for 4 years in the past but has since not kept it up, and I enrolled in TEF prep ready to be told that I should in fact go to one of the level classes because I’m not B1, but even in the first two classes where I struggled a lot and voiced my fears to Maï, she has expressed only confidence in me and encouraged me to keep going. I’ve been kicking my ass learning French with her guidance and feedback and I’ve progressed so much in just the past 1.5 months in her class. And I truly feel like I can participate and make mistakes without fear because Maï will always correct me with kindness. I now feel like a good result in TEF is within my reach and I’m excited to update this review once I get a result

Earlier than feels necessary. Seats fill fastest in the run-up to the draws, and leaving it late usually means taking whatever date is left rather than the one you were ready for. We normally settle on a date once your mock exam scores have stopped moving around, which is a better signal than the calendar.
