“Vanina is a fantastic tutor - she is great at explaining complex elements in an easy to understand fashion. She is very enthusiastic about what she does, and is a great motivator. Highly recommended!

“What an amazing course, I can’t recommend highly enough. Learning a new language is tough but luckily I found Anais who publishes and sends you a really great exercise book. My lessons were online (due to COVID) with Marion. Marion is an absolutely fantastic teacher, I don’t think there is a better one in a London, she is engaging, funny and very tolerant of all my bad pronunciations.
I feel I have good foundations to build on now moving forward with my French language. If you are thinking about booking a course and Google has brought you here then just do it, don’t look elsewhere.

“I’ve been learning French with Anais and Co. with my tutor Naima since the beginning of February. I’m at intermediate level with basic conversational skills so my main focus is to start speaking fluently. I like the way the classes are structured to accommodate my needs. Naima is very patient and we have a good time learning French!
Overall the experience is great. I found the booking process with Anais and the whole approach very professional!

“I strongly recommend Anais for French lessons! The teachers are brilliant and I really believe they're helping me get one step closer to my goal of speaking French fluently. I will be taking future lessons with them. I've enjoyed my lessons with Celia and always look forward to the class each week!

“Anaïs has been amazing at developing my French language skills. As someone who had been 'self-teaching' through apps like duolingo and online systems, I hadn't realised how many bad habits I'd picked up! Anaïs has helped me to undo these mistakes, and has given me enough confidence to push towards my DELF B1 exam. She takes lessons at my pace, and adapts the content depending on my requirements, which you wouldn't get in group classes. She's also a lovely person, and I genuinely look forward to my lessons every week!”

“I learned French at school and did reasonably well at ‘O level’ (as it was in those days!), but didn’t use the language for many years after that and as a result forgot most of what I had previously known. When my wife and I acquired a French holiday property a few years ago, I decided I ought to try to re-learn the language and initially signed up for an internet course with Babbel. This helped me to get back into the language, and in particular to re-learn some of the vocabulary and grammar, but I still found conversing in French in ‘real time’ extremely difficult. My wife had been having lessons with Anaïs for a while, and had been getting on well, so I thought I would try some lessons to myself to see if I could improve my speaking ability. I explained to Anaïs what I was looking for and she was able to adapt her style of teaching to my needs as well as my level of ability in French. Our lessons focus on conversation, and Anaïs gets me to do most of the speaking, only intervening if I get stuck, perhaps with a gentle prompt or an expression that lets me know I have made a mistake, and gives me the opportunity to correct it myself if I can. After four or five months, I am really enjoying the lessons and I find that my level of confidence and ability in spoken French has increased significantly. I would thoroughly recommend her as a teacher.”

“Having lived in France for 2 years, my French quickly started to get rusty once I returned to the UK. I finally decided to do something about it and have been having lessons with Anaïs for about 5 months. Having that time once a week to re-immerse myself in the language and chat about anything and everything has really revived my skills and made me realise how much I'd missed speaking French! Anaïs is friendly, open and really easy to talk to - it feels just like chatting to a friend, except you get helpful corrections to your grammar and vocabulary along the way!”

“I enjoyed our lessons and thank you for the work that you have put into me! My French speaking has come a long way since we started.”

“I've had my share of private tutors (10+) but Celia (one of the expert tutors) was one of the best I've ever worked with. I had to up my conversational french by a certain goal date, and with just 3 months of work my skills improved significantly, just in time for what I needed. Thank you Celia and Anais!”

“Anaïs is one of the best teachers I have had. She is patient, positive and diligent, encouraging you to do your best. Not only does she provide a great environment for learning a new language (the cat being a pleasant distraction) but also she has a proactive attitude which is helpful if you struggle with some aspects of the language you are trying to learn. She quickly picks up your mistakes and teaches you the best way to avoid them. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and have made quick progress. I would recommend Anaïs to anyone who is eager to learn French be it for a job or as a hobby.”

“Anais is a great teacher! Pays attention to detail, adapts well to your needs, and most of all, her lessons are always fun. I'm glad I found her!”
