"Spending time with Edwige's mother helped my French considerably, it was great to practice with two different people during the day!" Sam, UK

​
" Her approach is different. I asked for her help with the subjunctif...the thing many students have come to dread. Rather than share the traditional tables of what is and isn't subjunctif, we started small, focusing on just a few things until they came to me easily. My confidence grew as we got further and further into it. "

Atelier Conversation:
​
​
This workshop can be more or less formal, depending on your interests, it can vary from playing games to discuss French culture, a movie or simply chatting whilst baking a cake. Multitasking in French can sometimes be beneficial!
I will adapt my questions so you can enjoy speaking French but still be challenged!
​
"I have been learning French for almost eight years and I have had many teachers during that time. Edwige has to be one of the best teachers that I have met. She adapted the classes very quickly to my level. She brings so much positive energy to each class, it is infectious."

Atelier Pronunciation :
​
​
​
Most of my students have the fear to not be understood when expressing themselves in French.
It can be tricky to gain confidence especially when the French person replies to you in English!
In this workshop, not only I will give you tricks to ease your French speaking but also your listening.
If you develop your listening skills, automatically your French speaking skills will ameliorate considerably!
​
"Edwige speaks very clearly and we have found our speaking and listening skills have improved under her excellent tuition. Apart from anything, her classes are a lot of fun and we laugh together as we struggle (as people in our 60s) to get our tongues around French pronunciation!"
