Overview
Private lessons are a great way to progress in French. Lessons are planned according to your needs and objectives, they move at your own pace, and you get the teacher’s undivided attention! You can choose to focus on certain topics, language points you want to understand and master, which may include vocabulary or idioms, grammar, understanding practice, general conversation…
Alternatively, our teachers are trained to zero in on what language you need so you can just let them guide you!
The schedule for private lessons is built around you so if you’re not able to attend classes at a fixed time each week, that’s fine.
Finally you may be in the valley for only short periods at a time. You can take lessons while you’re here, then why not try online lessons when you’re not!

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!
