Just finished six weeks of French lessons for myself and my three kids with Avancee Formation and could not be more pleased with the professionalism, quality of instruction, and kindness of our instructor, Chloe. Avancee Formation tailored the curriculum to our specific needs, and it shows in the enthusiasm my teenagers now have for French language and culture. As a result, we have decided to return to the area in March for four more weeks of lessons!

A really fun and informative course, with the lovely Elise, well-judged for our standard, and with very many stimulating exercises to make us think and chat in French. Highly recommended.

I had online lessons with Elise and she was fantastic. The whole experience was supportive, lively and I learnt a huge amount in only 6 short lessons. Highly recommend.

Yet another year of French lessons through Alpine French School which teaching me new things all the time. The lessons are very well thought out and the teachers are very supportive helping you through any difficulties you encounter whilst also pushing you to keep on improving. I would highly recommend using the Alpine French School if you want to learn French from complete beginners getting to know their first words or phrases to the more advanced that just want to sound more authentic, they offer it all. Hopefully see you again for a group session at the end of the year or back again for my 1:1 lessons next year. Keep up the good work.

Highly recommended! I've benefited from both the private lessons (excellent for making good progress, tailored to specific needs) and group classes (which have been small class sizes, relaxed and fun atmosphere). Both of my teachers (Jenny and Chloe) have been fantastic - encouraging, engaged and constructive.In addition, the school has done the majority of the paperwork to enable the classes to be fully funded through a URSSAF training grant - amazing!

I took a long term course at the school which was covered by my Autoentrepeneur URSSAF training grant - you pay upfront and on course completion your fees get refunded. The school helped me set this up with URSSAF and also helped me sort the refund at the end. It was a fairly simple process and they are well versed with it.Onto the lessons themselves - I was lucky to have a good teacher and engaged class so I felt I progressed really well. The teacher encouraged interaction and so it felt more like a discussion than too much "chalk and talk". I also did some 1:1s which put me a little out of my comfort zone but allowed me to work on elements I specifically needed. I am now confident that I am working towards the level needed to work in French which was the aim of the sessions. Thank you Alpine French School for your lessons!
