“I take private lessons with Anais & Co and I couldn't be happier with my classes. The lessons are tailored to skill level, and my teacher Célia, who I adore, also incorporates things that interest me into the lessons - such as French culture, food, and current events. I look forward to my lessons each week and my French has improved so much. I highly recommend Anais & Co and in particular Célia as a teacher (although I am sure all the teachers are great!).”

Lauren

“I've completed the beginners 2 and the intermediate 1 courses at Anais' language school and have really enjoyed it. I've worked with Celia and Victoria who have both been great teachers, striking a good mix between encouraging a relaxed learning atmosphere and one that pushes the student to get out of their comfort zone. Big thanks from my side and am looking forward to more!”

Alexander

“I've been learning French with Anais & co for around 9 months now, and have found the experience to be incredibly helpful for levelling up my skills. My tutor, Naima, is patient and thorough, and I've thoroughly enjoyed working with her throughout the process. While there's no silver bullet to learning a language, I've found my classes to be far more effective than any other method I've tried in the past and would recommend Anais & Co to anyone who's serious about developing their French.”

Zander

“I am enjoying the one-on-one online session with Anais. I like the flexible and efficient lesson schedules. The lesson is well planned and organized with class notes and reviews written in google docs. This way I can easily review the notes on the go. Anais knows how to engage her students and made sure they learn in the most efficient way according to her student's learning style!”

Camille

“Last year I had a lovely holiday in Provence but felt frustrated at how little I was able to communicate in French. I felt determined to do better next time, so searched for some one to one French lessons in Bristol. I've really enjoyed my lessons with Anaïs. It's great to be taught by a native French speaker as she can explain all the subtleties and quirks of the language. Anaïs has a very clear and easy to follow teaching style and is always happy to answer my questions and teach at the pace I need. She is friendly and encouraging and I feel confident that I'm getting a thorough grounding in the language ready for my next holiday.”

Sally

“Anaïs took me on as a complete beginner without being able to speak any French at all. I was leaving the UK within three weeks to live and work in France for several months and Anaïs was given the task of teaching me enough French to get by. She was pushy and demanding but when I arrived in France I was able to make myself understood and build on the "emergency pack" so to speak that she taught me. I would not have been able to survive without her expertise. The French people I met were so impressed with how much I’d been taught in such a short space of time and I’ve continued to study with her since my return to the UK. Anaïs is a clever and talented French teacher with plenty of patience and understanding.”

Mark

“I started lessons with Anaïs four months ago in preparation for an extended holiday in France during 2017. I am 56 years old and my last French lesson was 40 years ago so there was a lot to learn - Anaïs pretty much had to start from scratch with me. It was great to have one to one tuition, I'm not that comfortable with speaking to a group and I believe a classroom environment would not have been suitable for me. I am amazed at how much Anaïs has taught me and how my confidence is growing. We've focussed on stuff that will help me in my day to day living in France which is perfect for me due to the short amount of time I've had to learn the language. There is homework every week which Anais will normally test me on at the next lesson - not an onerous amount but about 15-30 minutes per day. She's been great a teaching me different ways to learn, for example I struggled with memorising a list of verbs and she introduced the idea of making 'verb cards' to help. It really did make a difference. She's also a nice person to spend time with which always helps! I'd have no hesitation in recommending classes with Anaïs.”

Lynn

“I enjoy going to France for my holidays and I have a friend who lives there so we mix with the neighbours and I really wanted to be able to have a conversation with them in French. My understanding of French has improved a lot since I have been taking lessons with Anaïs. Conversation is much better but still needs to be worked on. I am an older pupil and therefore take longer to learn new information, especially a foreign language. Thankfully Anaïs is a very encouraging, gentle and considerate teacher, she explains things well and she is very patient.”

Sally

“I took lessons with Anaïs because I was moving to France and wanted to get by once there. I had French lessons before but I always gave up quickly. The lessons really helped me, I gained more confidence than ever and I enjoyed learning French. Anaïs is definitely the best French teacher I have had!”

Sophie

“Thank you very much for your coaching, I think it made a huge difference for me in terms of warming up and having confidence. I got the job and will be soon moving to Paris!! Thank you again!”

Swathi

“I have been doing my online tutorial with Emma. She's very professional, very patient and committed to ensuring I learn and master the French language. I can say that in just a few lessons I am able to understand how the French words are pronounced, written and put together in sentences. Personally, I believe Anais methods works really well.”

Lyra

“I've started face-to-face lessons with Célia in June, and so far it's been really great! The lessons are very engaging, interesting and Célia manages to cover all aspects of the language. She constructs the lesson in a way that engages listening, writing and speaking skills, which has improved my grammar, vocabulary and conversational proficiency by a vast amount! I would highly recommend Célia as a tutor to anyone looking to improve their french.”
