Over the years I have helped many people of different age, ability and experience reach their personal goals in speaking another language. Here are just a few of their comments:
“Véronique taught me the content of the two years of the French GCSE course over the course of eight months. Although I began with next to no French, by the time I took the exam I was able to achieve an A* grade. She advised me on a suitable textbook, and ensured that our lessons were directed towards areas that I wanted to focus on, specifically verbal communication. This meant that much of our lessons were focused on speaking and listening, which I found to be incredibly helpful. Her lessons instilled in me a curiosity for French language and culture, and I continued to pursue French with my A Levels for which I found her teaching had given me a solid foundation from which to progress onwards.” Hannah
“When I first joined Véronique's conversation sessions, I hadn't studied French for over 20 years. She kindled in me such enthusiasm for the language that I now use it every day, whether I'm reading the news in French, chatting with friends online or reading a novel. When you know another language, you really do see the world in new ways. What I love about Véro's sessions is that they are relaxed, you don't need to worry about making mistakes and you go home really motivated to practise what you've learned.”

“I attended the French Conversational Classes that Véronique organised. The groups were very friendly and we all had different levels of French to draw on! The evenings were a mixture of games, and chat, all the time learning better vocabulary and grammar. There was no pressure and we were all encouraged to try, it really didn’t matter if you made a mistake, Véronique helped you to improve! A really good way to improve rusty French, in a sociable setting!”

“Véronique helped me over the course of my A levels to attain an A grade in French. The lessons were always well-planned and tailored to suit my needs, as Véronique was attentive to areas that required improvement. She recommended brilliant resources and guided me through any issues I had, whether in grammar or speaking. Véronique was always flexible and understanding and helped me to make a remarkable difference in my French as well as helping me to improve my confidence in French substantially. I believe I have really benefited from Véronique’s teaching and since then, I have gone on to study French and Spanish at the University of Manchester and I have also recently spent six months working in Paris at a recruitment agency.”

“I have been taking classes with Veronique for nearly a year now and I highly recommend her to any body wishing to learn french. I started taking lessons as a beginner with very limited knowledge of the language and by the end I had been to France and was able to talk to all francophones on a wide range of subjects. She is very friendly and welcoming with a great sense of humour. Due to my work hours as well she was flexible in working around my schedule. Veronique talks french for the most of each lesson and set me homework to complete for the next lessons. I found her teaching methods excellent. Now I am at a level where I am leaving to work abroad and teach in a french speaking country, thanks to Veronique.”
