"I studied French from levels 1 to 7 with Aurelie and then did a month of TEF preparation with Eloise. Both teachers are excellent, very friendly, and explain things in great detail. The classes are very interactive and the teaching methods are innovative, allowing us to express our views and receive tailored advice. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found this place to learn French. We not only learn the language but also a lot about French culture and the nuances between casual and professional language use. I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to build their French skills, whether for pleasure or in preparation for official exams. Thank you, Aurelie and Eloise!"
