What Amélie's Students say

I can see my own improvements in all aspects of the French language week by week.

Amélie is a great teacher and makes the classes fun and interesting. Everyone in our group is really nice and like-minded people which is a bonus. I can see my own improvements in all aspects of the French language week by week. To be honest, French is something I struggle with, but I am enjoying the struggle and will continue with Amélie’s class for the foreseeable future. I would recommend Amélie’s French class to anyone who is looking to improve and learn.

My vocabulary knowledge, grammar and confidence to speak has grown hugely

I am thoroughly enjoying French lessons with Amélie every week. She makes the lessons fun and is a patient and supportive teacher. We are all encouraged to contribute but equally can quietly observe and absorb if we so wish. This is my second year of learning French in Amélie’s online class and the difference in my vocabulary knowledge, grammar and confidence to speak has grown hugely. I look forward to our sessions.

Alison - ST5

Now Happy to engage in conversations!

Learning with Amélie is great. The class is very relaxed with no pressure and this really helps build your confidence. With the way the lessons are structured, my pronunciation is much improved and my vocabulary range has broadened considerably; I am now happy to engage in conversations.
