Testimonials

Anne- Sophie is an intelligent, astute and competent French teacher.
Her approach is methodical and tailored to the student.
When I went to Anne-Sophie my ability to speak French (or understand spoken French) was almost zero. Now I can understand and speak basic French. Progress is guaranteed with Anne- Sophie. I can highly recommend her. Plus , she is an exceptionally nice person.

What I enjoy most about Anne-Sophie’s teaching is that she is prepared to adapt her style to the way that I want to learn. This flexibility demonstrates the depth and strength of her ability. Thankyou, mille fois, Anne Sophie!

I have been learning French with Anne-Sophie for over 4 years now.
I found her to have a love for language and a comprehensive knowledge of grammar. I also found her to be a speaker of excellent English with a good sense of humour. I like her relaxed friendly manner and the way she has allowed me to progress at my own pace without pressure, patiently correcting my pronunciation and grammatical errors and encouraging me, although she is not a walk-over – one must study between sessions.
She encourages the use of high standard text books and uses additional learning methods to enhance listening skills.
Anne-Sophie scans the internet and has provided me with some useful sites for additional learning. I like that she takes her position seriously and teaches, what I would call, ‘proper’ French grammar and sentence construction before allowing the use of the ‘familiar’. Thanks to Anne-Sophie I was recently told in France that I speak very good French – this is not yet true, but the French love to see you try.

Helen L, Brunswick, beginner-now advanced-student

I began lessons with Anne-Sophie after many years in a French class of 8 or more students. Initially I found the experience daunting but Anne-Sophie put me at ease very quickly. I find her explanations of grammar and the use of the French language unequaled. I have learnt more in 2 years with a one to one session then I have in eight years in a class. I can thoroughly recommend her to all who wish to grasp this most beautiful of Latin based languages.

I’ve found Annie-Sophie to be a wonderful French teacher. She’s patient, inspiring and flexible about teaching me in the way that suits me best. She also corrects my halting French in a very supportive manner that makes me feel confident to keep trying. I recommend Anne-Sophie very highly.
