Reviews
Very good training center, adapts perfectly to our needs. The course materials are diverse and varied, some exercises to do at home. The classrooms are spacious and very pleasant.
My teacher (Jennifer) quickly made me feel comfortable discussing in English, she gives me confidence, we feel “almost bilingual” from the first session!
I recommend 100%. Don't hesitate to contact them!
Thank you Bonnie and Jennifer
Bonnie was able to understand and document herself to make the training concrete on my theme.
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!
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!
