French course options
A range of courses for all ages and needs.
Our French courses are bespoke private courses. So your lessons will be tailored to your own individual needs and will take place at your home or office at times convenient to you. We offer 4 types of private French course:
General French - for Juniors and Adults
Ideal if you are travelling or planning to live in the country or for general interest. We come to your home or you can go to the teacher, by arrangement. 1.5 hours minimum session unless otherwise agreed.
French for Business - for Adults
If you do business with a French-speaking country, this is the course for you. We come to your office or home or you can go to the teacher, by arrangement. Material is adapted to business situations at all levels. 1.5 hours standard session, but with the option to do just 1 hour sessions if you book as a business/company client (see prices).
French for Exams - for Juniors and Adults
If you are working towards GCSE, A level, Common Entrance or a University qualification or examination, we will help you get the best grade possible!
We will build your confidence in the "4 skills" (speaking, listening, reading and writing), develop your vocabulary and hone your grammar for all-round competence. As the exam approaches we will help you with exam practice related to your particular syllabus - practising oral presentations, for example, or working on topic areas. We come to your home or you can go to the teacher, by arrangement. 1.5 hours minimum session unless otherwise agreed.
French for Children
There nothing like starting early with any subject, and that is particularly true where language skills are concerned. For children aged 5-10 we offer fun, lively teaching which may include games and songs but is purposeful, building knowledge organically.
We focus mostly on listening and speaking, using techniques that children relate to. Reading and writing are kept to a minimum, especially for the very young ones. We come to your home. A responsible adult other than the teacher needs to be in attendance.
We will need to talk through your particular case in relation to lesson logistics, but here are some example scenarios:
- Jack, aged 6, beginner, Emma aged 7 with some basics - 45 minutes each, separately.
- Eleanor aged 8 with some basics, Hugh aged 7 with some basics, Hanna aged 10 - beginner - 1 hour for Eleanor and Hugh together and 45 minutes for Hanna separately.
Call us to talk through the options for your children!
You might also want to talk to your children's friends' parents to get a mini-group together and reduce the cost.
