Improvers Plus with Vicki on Tuesday evenings

Good fun

Vicki is an excellent tutor. She explains the grammar as we go along and the classes are always good fun. I have learned a lot in the last term and I am looking forward to moving up to the next level.

Great teacher

Fun class with good course materials and content which has really progressed my French ready for a long delayed French holiday. A friendly group of fellow pupils and a great teacher in Vicki with lots of humour along the way. Whether indoors, in a marquee outside, or on Zoom, as we contended with Covid restrictions, it continued to go well.

Philip - Herne Bay

Relaxed and informal

This is a lovely way to learn a language. The format provides a relaxed and informal atmosphere, very conducive to learning, whilst at the same time providing a useful and necessary foundation of the language. Students can learn at their own pace with no pressure to do homework. There are also complimentary on-line sessions to reinforce lessons. This course would appeal to people whose aim is to gain confidence in being able to converse generally. It is suitable for all ages and of course, benefits from an excellent tutor, Vicki.

Relaxed and fun

I have enjoyed being able to meet each week and see the progress we have made. The class is relaxed and fun, which feels conducive to learning.

Nicola - Whitstable

Tremendously supportive

I would not hesitate to recommend Vicki as a French teacher I find her helpful friendly and informative. The groups under her guidance adopt an informal friendly feel that encourages pupils to speak out without fear of making mistakes which I find is tremendously supportive when tentatively exploring a new language

Tim - Whitstable

Highly recommend

If like me you are one of those people who did French at school a long time ago and find you are rather rusty when it comes to actually speaking French on holiday then this is for you! Whether you are rusty like me or a complete beginner Vicki's classes are fun, friendly, informative and completely relaxed. She explains things really well and gets your confidence up with good explanations and a good set of notes to take away for reference. Would highly recommend !

Tremendous fun in Whitstable

It's tremendous fun! We are a friendly and happy group. Vicki guides us through the complexities of learning French with enthusiasm and great patience. We all make mistakes but never ever feel silly. I like the warm up games which get us all thinking and ready to tackle the new lesson! Sometimes we're having such a good time we over-run the time slot. The core of our group have been together for a couple of years and it is really fun.

Jenny - Sandwich

Hits the spot

I love our French classes in Whitstable. The teaching is well prepared and delivered but most of all fun! Vicki's delivery hits the spot. I feel I have really progressed since joining this group who are a great bunch of people.

Maureen - Whitstable

Positive, relaxed atmosphere

I really enjoy my French Friday lessons with Vicki and the people I've met through the sessions. Vicki is a very good teacher, explaining the information clearly and in a positive, relaxed atmosphere. The lessons are fun but at the same time the course has really stretched my understanding of the language. I would definitely recommend it.

Julie - Whitstable

Just what I need

Really enjoying French for Fun in Whitstable every Friday. A very relaxed way to improve your French but at the same time, it’s definitely stretching me, which is what I need! Recommended!

Colin - Whitstable

Improved my confidence

My French has definitely come on since joining your class. I'm much happier to have a go at speaking to my French neighbours and shopkeepers in France.

Corita - Canterbury

Relaxed atmosphere

I'm really enjoying French for Fun in Whitstable in a relaxed atmosphere with a friendly group.

Hilary - Whitstable

Sociable small groups

The Language for Fun course is a relaxed learning environment where we feel comfortable practising key phrases in our less-than-perfect French. The small group is a friendly informal setting which encourages our learning through listening, repetition and conversation. Our tutor Vicki is very knowledgeable and answers our many questions about the French language and culture. The course materials are a great resource for our revision and reference, neatly stored in a supplied folder. As well as an effective learning experience it's also sociable and a great way to meet people.

Re-learning school-girl French

I'm really enjoying re-learning my school girl French and having the chance to chat to others. Vicki makes it fun and I have met some new people.

Hazel - Westgate-on-Sea

Loving it!

I'm loving my classes with Vicki on a Friday morning! All my grandchildren have benefitted from Vicki's children's classes, and my husband and I are now learning too and enjoying it.

Sue L - Whitstable

Highly recommend

I’ve worked through progressive modules with Vicki online since 2020 and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and got to know a lovely friendly group of people. I have particularly enjoyed the conversations and grammar, struggling more with vocabulary, but would highly recommend joining one of Vicki’s classes – she is an excellent teacher.
