The type of courses we offer:

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General French

This set of French tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning French. Even though all novice students will cover survival French: enough French to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in French culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in French.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business French

These French Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn French to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic Telephone French and e-mail French skills for communications as well as Survival French required for short visits to a country.
