We’ve had the great pleasure of Valerie teaching our three children (twins of 11 years and 7 yr old) and my husband French for the past year. In that time the girls basic knowledge and vocabulary has expanded greatly, but it’s only now after having spent 3 weeks in France over summer break that we truly appreciated the extent of their learning under Valerie’s tutelage. They understand much of what is being asked of them and everyday grow in confidence to speak back using their learned French. Valerie - we are so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Frenchassist to anyone looking to learn or continue to learn French. More...

Valerie has just tutored my son for a week over the Summer holidays. French isn't something that he finds easy and he wasn't too excited when I told him that he would be on a 15 hour course in holiday time! However, after his first lesson with Valerie the complaints stopped and he really started to enjoy French for the first time! I must say that Valerie is a fantastic, patient and very passionate teacher. I will certainly be using her services again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to even the most reluctant student ????. More...

Our French lessons helped us to grasp the structure of the language - verbs, tenses, vocabulary...
A creative teaching style resulted in each lesson being different (playing 'Guess Who' in French was a particular favourite!
).
Lessons have been tailored around French current affairs and subjects reflecting our particular interests (mainly sport, art, food and wine!).
This has resulted in us gaining the practical skills and confidence needed to deal with day to day situations every time we visit.
A big thank you!

Valerie is a fantastic french tutor: the real deal, and has an evident passion for both her country of origin and tutoring the language. I cannot emphasise enough how useful I found it to have a french native teaching me- there are so many advantages. Highly recommended. More...
