I really like that we are pushed to only speak French when we are here and that for me majority of time we are also spoken to in French in and outside of our lessons.


A student in our A level course (Dec 2023)



 


I like how easy it is to learn French!


A pre-GCSE student (Dec 2023)



 


Thank you for all your support to Ellie in 2022. It has made a huge difference to her enthusiasm for, and confidence in, French. She achieved an 8 in her mock GCSE exam, up from a 5 in the Summer, and was delighted with this.

I would change nothing, it is amazing :)


A student in our GCSE 2 class



 


I love the class so much. The teacher is always so clear. It's a varied range of activities. She's so friendly. Thank you for offering these lessons.


One of our GCSE students (Dec 2022)



 


Classes are engaging & useful & fun!


A-level (March 2022)



 


I like the small classes without too many people and good teachers; it feels very comfortable!


A student from GCSE 1 class (March 2022)



 


It is very organized and you always have a chance to speak.


Student in our GCSE 2 class (Dec 2021)



 


I like how the classes are a safe space to fail and make mistakes. To participate in an atmosphere with no judgment is incredibly valuable for my own productivity.


Student in our pre-GCSE class (Dec 2021)



 


I honestly don't know how I'd manage French A Level without classes at the Alliance Francaise. […] It really helped me prepare for my university interview for French!

I would like to say how very grateful we are to your organisation. Without your wonderful teachers, Clare’s life would be taking a very different road. It is so wonderful that she has found an area of study she enjoys so much and which is so enriching.


Helen, mother to A-level student Clare (April 2021)



 


I would [recommend you to a friend], the method of teaching is rigorous and effective. I love the staff and location!


A-level student (July 2021)



 


My daughter got a 9 in GCSE French… I wonder whether, like Asterix and friends, AF have a magic potion?! Thank you so much for all your support!


Gail (August 2019)



 


The teacher was terrific at helping our son with revision for his French GCSE - and he got an A* so clearly all well worth it.
