Comments from students and learners

"Having been 30 years since I last learnt French for O level, stepping back into the class room was daunting. However, learning with flc has been fun and sociable and my teacher Severine has never once made me feel bad for my atrocious accent! Thanks also to Marie for hosting lively cultural get-togethers."

Rebecca Chesworth, City professional,group student, Hampstead

"I came in the summer of 2006 to the U.K., hoping to qualify for a King's Scholarship to Eton in one year, and with hardly any knowledge of French. I was told that learning French to a suitable standard in one
year would be highly ambitious, and yet I put my full faith in my teacher. She gave me very well constructed lessons beginning from the very basics of the language, moving on quite rapidly to higher and higher levels. In that one year I reached the required standard, if not beyond it, and it is needless to say that my French played a large part in my receiving the top scholarship of the year."

"I was never good at French and I never enjoyed it that much either, however after having this experience with FLC, I completely changed my opinion. My teacher was absolutely amazing, and not only did I start to do well in French, but I also enjoyed it immensely. It is all thanks to her that I got my A* in French, and I would definitely recommend everyone to have her as your teacher, because she is a lovely person and an amazing teacher, and you will even find yourself enjoying the language!!"

"The private tuition with FLC is very effective, well balanced and fun! It helped me immensely in my preparation for DELF and DALF exams in a short period of time."

Ayako (private student, The City, London)

"Having attempted to learn French several times over the years I was very pleased to find a class that is challenging yet enjoyable and that has already produced results far beyond the other learning I have tried. Thanks to FLC I am finally fulfilling a lifelong ambition and find that my trips to France are now more enjoyable."

"The lessons are well structured constantly adding new topics while at the same time reinforcing existing knowledge. The classes are friendly and welcoming but also challenging and we are all encouraged to participate fully."

Michael (private student, Canary Wharf, London)

"The class has been just what we were looking for - a perfect mix of conversational and formal french. After studying with FLC our trips to Paris have been much more enjoyable and now we are able to get around with ease. We wouldn't change a thing about the class!"

'Ms Honda is a great tutor, she is very personable and always finds a way to keep the lessons fun while covering a lot of material. I’ve been really impressed with how she tailors the lessons I would definitely recommend Ms Honda, I am looking forward to my trip to Japan where I’ll have a chance to test my new language skills.'
