The type of courses we offer:
Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General French
This set of French tutorials are less specific and more targeted for those who want to get a range of different things from learning French. Even though all novice students will cover survival French: as well as French to visit somewhere abroad to make solid contacts with the locals, what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefited from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in French culture and those who just want to pass a specific examination in French.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business French
French lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn French to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in the import/export business, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Even our most basic lesson for beginners will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in French, as well as survival French should a short stay in the country is needed.
