The best French lessons in London

“I have been having French lessons with Anaïs since January 2014, and I have found her both friendly and approachable. My knowledge of the French language was very sparse, and I feel that I have learnt quite a lot during this time with particular attention to reading, writing and French grammar. Anaïs is always ready to answer and explain any questions that I may have and the lessons are informative and interesting. I would therefore, recommend Anais Language as a professional and easy way to learn French."

JOANE B.

“I have been taking French lessons with Anaïs for approximately 6 months. In that period, I have advanced from an absolute beginner to having the confidence to be able to converse in French. As I have little natural flair for languages, it has been a challenge at times, however, Anaïs has made the journey both easy and enjoyable. She has a very calm, patient, methodical and relaxed approach but is equally attentive and careful to ensure that the learning is tailored to meet your needs during your individual lessons. As a native French speaker, she provides the necessary authenticity, context and knowledge, moreover she possesses first-hand experience of all the necessary idioms, pitfalls, top tips and shortcuts, required to ensure that your learning can be practically applied immediately."

SIMON V.

“Anaïs is a fantastic French tutor and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone wanting to learn French regardless of your current level. I have had at least 1 lesson a week with Anaïs since March last year and she has taken me from literally no French at-all to being able to communicate confidently using all the main tenses and to understand almost everything in normal conversation. She tailors each lesson to my exact needs and teaches in a relaxed, friendly environment. Anaïs encourages me to speak as much as listen and this has helped massively to increase my confidence! At school I didn’t get on with languages, now thanks largely to Anaïs I find learning French immensely satisfying and fun and am now thinking of taking DELF exams at level B1. Merci beaucoup Anais!"

MATTHEW B.

“I have been having private classes with Anais for the last six months, starting from a basic beginners level. She is always friendly, clear and non judgmental. She works through her well rounded lessons at my pace. The lessons combined with a small amount of homework have improved my spoken and written comprehension of French, and I was excited and confident to try my new French skills on a recent trip to Paris. I previously tried group French classes, but have found private one-to-one tutorage has been far easier as Anais identified the areas I needed the most help and focused on them. I have also found her to be accommodating with lesson times. I look forward to my class each week and would definitely recommend Anais as a French teacher!"

NICOLA H.

“Unlike other language or learning agencies, Anais is genuine! And possibly the only genuine one we have encountered so far, which does give us hope of this rapidly changing world. Well done Anais, and please keep being you and we support you from the bottom of our hearts."

SEBASTIAN

“If you’re looking for a company that offers you how to speak French like a native then may I suggest Anais & co. Anais has been fantastic throughout my learning in helping me to acquire such a wonderful teacher in Apolline. Anais has also been very responsive when I’ve had questions, have needed to review my lessons or had to change my learning schedule due to the demands of my job. If you’re looking for a teacher who is warm, friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and offers lessons in a fun, easy to learn manner then may I suggest Apolline. Apolline will guide you through your lessons ensuring you understand the grammar, vocabulary and sentence structures (plus all of the exceptions to the rules!) and make you put them into practice during the lesson or with additional exercises in your online learning folder. I would highly recommend this company and it’s a shame I can’t give them more stars!"

ADELAIDE A.

“I have been taking lessons with Marie-Anne at Anais & Co since beginning of July, and have enjoyed every moment of it. Marie-Anne has made the class so enjoyable and special for me that it has become one of the highlights of my week. Marie-Anne is fun, empathetic, encouraging and so supportive of my learning experience. I am lucky to have found Marie-Anne and to continue my quest for speaking French fluently with her. I have now completed the beginners course, which I thought has been designed well and very practical. I look forward to continuing with Anais & Co and Marie-Anne as I progress to the intermediate level."

CAROL S.

“What an amazing course, I can’t recommend highly enough. Learning a new language is tough but luckily I found Anais who publishes and sends you a really great exercise book. My lessons were online (due to COVID) with Marion. Marion is an absolutely fantastic teacher, I don’t think there is a better one in a London, she is engaging, funny and very tolerant of all my bad pronunciations. I feel I have good foundations to build on now moving forward with my French language. If you are thinking about booking a course and Google has brought you here then just do it, don’t look elsewhere."

NEIL A.

“Having not studied French for almost 25 years it has been a pleasure to return with Sabrine's tutoring. First of all she is alway cheerful and friendly so lessons start well. She explains things easily and clearly, is patient and is very encouraging. I very much look forward to our lessons each week and I'm finding learning easy with her. I would definitely recommend her :)"

EVA P.

“I have just started learning French (completely from scratch) with Margot, and she has so far been a wonderful teacher. She has made it very easy for me to practice pronunciation and the basics without feeling awkward, so I strongly recommend her. Anais has also been supportive at each step of the process from inquiring to starting with Margot. Overall, Anais & Co are a great option to choose if you would like structured one-on-one French lessons."

CHRISTOPHER S.

“My experience with Anaïs & Co has been excellent. Very professionally organised from the moment of enquiry onward. My tutor, Margot, has demonstrated herself to be a talented teacher able to consistently drive progress while maintaining an informal style and adapting her approach fluidly to my specific requirements."

OLIVER S.

“Excellent course materials from Anais, and personalisation from Apolline for our specific needs. Very happy with the lessons and would highly recommend."

MAREK B.

“Fantastic programme which can also be tailored on a lesson by lesson basis to suit your needs ... I personally am going through the course but wanted to specifically focus and relate to my career as well as a bit of language help when travelling :) ! Anais always goes above and beyond. Hugo is a great tutor, makes learning fun and very much enjoy our weekly lessons! My french has come on leaps and bounds since under his tuition!"

YASMIN H.

“We really enjoy our French lessons with Hugo and would definitely recommend. I personally really like that the class is quite structured which makes it easier for me to learn. We have learning material, exercises, the notes of the classes which we can easily go back and review. It also helps that we do speaking practice as well as grammar and writing. Hugo is very professional, also super friendly, enthusiastic and patient. The classes very enjoyable and they take the time to understand what kind of lessons you need and what is your level."

ECE V.

“Anais & Co are professionals in their approach. I joined a private class. My private tutor, Sabrine combines practical examples with easy to comprehend learning materials. I have a lesson more to go at the "beginners" stage. My confidence in French is increasing. There's no doubt I am ready for the next stage and will start next month. I recommend the institute especially Sabrine"

THEO A.

“The "Anais & Co" program is an excellent way to learn French. The approach is very practical and simple to follow especially if you are a beginner. The classes are tailored to fit my schedule which is very helpful. Sabrine, my tutor, is excellent! She is very accommodating and patient. Her notes are comprehensive and she always takes her time to make sure i understand things before moving to the next lesson. Overall..5 stars!"

FAROUK G.

“Thank you very much for giving me a great start to learning French so far. I have learnt loads of new little things to say to my girlfriend's family."

ALEX E.

“I am attending French private lessons since January and i am enjoying it a lot. Anais and the teachers are very professional and available to accommodate all needs. Also, I had lessons with different teachers and when I found myself comfortable with one in particular (ie Hugo), I could keep booking my lessons always with him. Highly Recommended."

ROBERTO C.

“I was a complete beginner. Learning French was very challenging, but I am glad that I began my French learning journey with my very patient and kind tutor, Anais. Thank you for everything."

MICHAEL G.

“Learning French with Appoline in the past 5 months has been excellent. Her ability to explain with real world scenarios and additional cultural relevance makes the lessons easy to follow and adaptable. I am confident of making more progress with the lessons and would highly recommend Anais and Appoline for French language lessons."

FATIMA I.

“I have been learning French with Anaïs now for 4 months. I started from scratch, as an absolute beginner, and during that time I learnt the structure of the language, how to form sentences, pronunciation, masculine/feminine, verbs, nouns, phrases, and more. Basically, a whole lot of stuff. As with learning anything new, the teacher is 90% of the motivation. In this, I have found Anaïs to be friendly, personable and patient. As such she provides the necessary ingredients for any student – particularly a beginner - to grow in confidence when learning this beautiful language. I can highly recommend her to you."

GRAHAM T.

“Thank you for everything you have taught us, it's been a lot of fun!"

NICOLA G.

“I have been having French lessons with Anaïs since January 2014, and I have found her both friendly and approachable. My knowledge of the French language was very sparse, and I feel that I have learnt quite a lot during this time with particular attention to reading, writing and French grammar. Anaïs is always ready to answer and explain any questions that I may have and the lessons are informative and interesting. I would therefore, recommend Anais Language as a professional and easy way to learn French."

THOM AND EVA

“I’ve had around 25 hours of one-to-one lessons with Anais & co this year, and would definitely recommend it. The course is smartly structured, alternating each lesson between grammar and speaking/comprehension, and the teacher is always prepared with exercises and homework."

DANIEL T.

“Fantastic programme for busy beginners like myself. Anais is amazingly organised and everything is done for clients. I take Skype lessons with Marie-Anne - she is very detailed, patient and encouraging. I wanted to learn French for a while and simply did not have time during my busy work schedule but this programme and approach really works for me. I can feel how my understanding and grammar are improving and it is a real weekly treat to have French lessons live on Skype :) Books are very practical hence everything I leant is relevant to every day life. Cannot recommend more."

KATIA B.

“Anais is great!! She is very professional, knowledgable and experienced. Taking lessons with her is always a pleasure and her warm and friendly personality makes the learning experience a lot more fun. Highly recommend!!"

ANNA P.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my French lessons with Anais! I spoke at a reasonable level but find that the regular verbal practice is crucial to increase confidence and learn idioms. Anais is very friendly and professional, and it has been a pleasure to learn!"

ADRIAN M.

“Anais & Co is a great place to learn French. I have been doing classes regularly for the past few weeks and already feel as though I have learnt a lot. The books that accompany the course are very well structured and easy to follow. My teacher is Amelia who is very patient, nice and a great teacher! She makes me feel very comfortable and not embarrassed to make mistakes. As well as this, she writes notes for me to look back over after classes and helps me a lot with pronunciation. Anais is also very quick to reply to emails and questions that I have and inform me of any changes to my schedule well in advance. Overall I highly recommend them."

EVA J.

“I started French lessons with Anaïs around 2 months ago and feel that I have already made significant progress under her tuition. She is very personable and patient, and her lessons are structured very well with clear targets in place. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn French."

NICK J.

“I am "re-" learning French with Anais for more than a year now. I am looking forward to the lessons each weekend and I can clearly see the improvments of my French. Anais is a great teacher and she makes the lessons fun. I can really recommend her French classes."

FREDERIC F.

“I've been taking French classes at Anais & Co since July and I'm really enjoying them. The course is very well structured - I highly recommend it."

RICARDO R.

“Anaïs is a great tutor! I have been having online lessons with Anaïs for over a year and I they definitely surpassed my expectations...
My initial goal was to better understand French texts. And so, armed with patience and clear goals in mind, Anaïs took me on a journey. Not only could I keep my own pace, but I discovered my limits and managed to overcome them along the way.
Whether it is writing or speaking, she is always there to provide a gentle nod, an encouraging smile or a friendly correction if I make a mistake... In addition to using her books, which show a clear structure and guide the reader progressively towards harder notions, en amplifiant, I was pleased by the freedom I had in choosing practice materials such as French texts and French poems-ideas that came in an improvisational spirit from my part- to exercise my understanding. Whenever I asked questions about different nuances of expression, about contexts or ways of thinking more tied to the culture, Anaïs would paint clear pictures, so I would not have to return to the same questions a second time.
Anaïs adapted perfectly to my learning needs and helped me achieve a high degree of understanding of French, which greatly improved my ability to write and understand the "meaning" behind the words, as it exists in the mind of native speakers. For me, this deep and clear understanding truly matters.
Whatever your learning goals and current level , I highly recommend Anaïs!”

ANDREI B.

“Thank you for your patience, understand and encouragement, you have made learning French fun!"

THOMAS H.

“Thanks for having taught us French during all this time. We've been seeing you for so long now that we consider you a friend (who teaches us French)!"

MAX AND KATHY

“Anais, is the BEST French teacher I have ever had. I was having one to one lessons with her but I had to move to a different city. She is an amazing teacher and I am still learning French with her (via Skype now) because I didn't really want another private tutor. To be honest Skype lessons are just as fun!"

CHRIS T.

“Anais is a lovely teacher, very professional and punctual. Her book is also very helpful for a total beginner like myself!"

SUJIN K.

“Thoroughly enjoy my weekly Skype lessons with Anais. The lessons are very well structured with a great balance of new vocabulary, grammar and conversation. Anais is professional, friendly and very patient. Highly recommend the classes."

HANNAH P.

“I have had a very enjoyable experience with Anais and learning the language with her has been brilliant. It’s great having one to one learning as I can relax and the whole lesson is focused on my progression. Anais is very easy to get along with and she has a great personality which helps. Compared to previous language courses or tutors I have had, this has been by far the best. I would recommend Anais to others who are looking to learn the language in a relaxed, friendly yet professional manner. Thank you Anais."

MARK S.

“Apolline is a very pro-active, enthusiastic and fun teacher who makes improving my French an enjoyable event that I look forward to each week. She is always well-prepared, follows up on questions and offers extra support where needed. Really excellent and recommended."

DIRK F.

“I look forward to my lessons with Marie-Anne every week, makes french super accessible with the help of the books that break everything into manageable sections. Would highly recommend and my french has notably improved as well as my confidence. Thanks!"

EMMA H.

“ A terrific way to learn French, and even easier now on Skype. Anais is engaging, precise, helpful and flexible. I would highly recommend her and her approach"

PAT B.

“ Very structured and enjoyable classes with Anaïs. She feels with confidence. Highly recommend Anaïs & CO."

PHOEBE V.

AMELIA D.

“I have been studying with Anais for a few months now, in this time my French has dramatically improved, my vocabulary has grown significantly and my french speaking skills are much improved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Anais as an excellent teacher.”

IDREECE K.

“Anais is great tutor. I like the way how she structure our lessons: a bit a mix of everything (grammar, pronouncement and new vocabulary). Highly recommended.”

ANASTASIYA G.

ANASTASIA K.

“Anaïs is an excellent teacher. She is friendly and approachable and understands quickly both one's learning objectives and where one's strengths and weaknesses lie; she adapts her lessons to suit both. I highly recommend her as a teacher, both for beginners and those hoping to expand their existing knowledge of French.”

DAVID O.

“Anais is a wonderful teacher. She is very professional and takes you along at a steady pace. It has given me the confidence to speak French when I am over there. I have no hesitation in recommending Anais to anyone that wants to learn French. ”

LYNN V.

“The lessons and the materials are both excellent. Clear, practical and also highly personable. Highly recommended!”

NEIL U.

“I have been having private classes with Anais for the last six months, starting from a basic beginners level. She is always friendly, clear and non judgmental. She works through her well rounded lessons at my pace. The lessons combined with a small amount of homework have improved my spoken and written comprehension of French, and I was excited and confident to try my new French skills on a recent trip to Paris.

NICOLA H.

“Anaïs is a brilliant teacher. Her lessons are enjoyable and very well-structured. I have learnt so much from them in just a short space of time. The learning materials are also very useful and clear. Anaïs is super professional - always on time, quick to respond and very encouraging. ”

FRANCESCA P.

“Anaïs was super professional, she was always very prompt in communications, she also set up a call before I started my lessons to gauge where my level was which was very helpful. I had all of my lessons with Margot, she's a really lovely person and was great at the lessons too. Would recommend to anyone looking to improve their French”

HARRY W.

“I have been doing my online tutorial with Emma. She's very professional, very patient and committed to ensuring I learn and master the French language. I can say that in just a few lessons I am able to understand how the French words are pronounced, written and put together in sentences. Personally, I believe Anais methods works really well.”

LYRA A.

“Anais has been a wonderful teacher. She has individual way of teaching regarding the student needs and skills. I can see how my French is improving from having the lessons with Anais over the year. I managed to go to the French language school only over couple of mounts studying with Anais and was having the lessons in French language only. Anais books are very easy to work with and I like how material is structured. Only the positive feelings. ”

KRISTINA I.

“I clicked with Anais straight away. She is friendly and fun in disposition, whilst being an excellent teacher, who challenges and pushes her students. I have been an ‘on / off’ French language learner for some years. This is the first time that I have been committed and I believe that it is because, every week, I can see positive results. I know that I am learning a lot and my French is progressing well. My old bad habits are also disappearing. Anais provides structured lessons and I am surprised at how much we get through in one hour each week. My French friends have noticed the huge progress that I have made with my written and spoken French in such a short space of time. I would recommend Anais, without hesitation, to anyone who wants to learn French, properly and with ongoing results.”

ANTHONY R.

“Vanina is a fantastic tutor - she is great at explaining complex elements in an easy to understand fashion. She is very enthusiastic about what she does, and is a great motivator. Highly recommended!”

DARAGH N.

“Anais is a fantastic teacher. I can’t speak highly enough of her. I’ve been having an hours lesson a week for the past 9 months or so. I regularly visit France and feel the improvement every time I go. I’m not a natural linguist but the structure of teaching really works for me. ”

BEN T.

“Celia is excellent, she is really patient correcting my accent :D”

MIRANDA L.

“I really enjoyed my lessons with Anais. Anais is a good teacher and is very motivated and enthusiastic, which makes it easier to learn French. The lessons are very structured and Anais makes notes to review later, also her lesson material seems complete and structured. It can be challenging to fit the classes in my schedule, but Anais is always happy to find a solution or do a class via Skype. She seems to enjoy teaching people a new language and I would definitely recommend. ”

MEREL U.

“I have been having French lessons with Anais for the last 3 months and my French is coming on leaps and bounds. Anais is very thorough and precise, whilst also being extremely friendly and easy to talk to, and you never feel self-conscious if you make a mistake. She has written her own textbooks and as a result, really understands the rules of the French language, as well as all the tiny exceptions that keep cropping up. I'm nearly on to the second textbook and can't wait to find out what I'll be learning!”

SARINA C.

“Anais is a very skilled and patient teacher and is able to apply her considerable intelligence to teaching in a way that elicits the best from her student. She has a very positive, cheerful demeanour and it makes the language learning enjoyable. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. ”

PHILIP G.

“Since leaving school nearly 40 years ago, I have tried to learn a foreign language on several occasions, but on each occasion, I have experienced the same problem, with the grammar and being in a class room environment I could not keep up and became frustrated and soon left the class. I have now been studying with Anaïs for almost a year and found that Anaïs offers a very friendly and positive way of teaching, working at her students pace, recognising when I am finding it difficult and spending more time, to help me understand. For the first time, I have found learning French to be an enjoyable experience and I highly recommend anybody wishing to learn or improve their French to contact Anaïs. ”

ANDY P.

“I start study French with Anaïs 6 month ago. I was a beginner, just knew few words in French. Now I feel confident speaking French on a basic level. Anaïs is a very dedicated to what she is doing. She adapts lessons to your needs and also she is very motivating. Her book has a great structure and make the process of learning French smooth and fun. I would highly recommend her as a tutor for any age and level.”

ANASTASIA V.

“Anaïs is a brilliant teacher who takes learning French from a very different perspective to most language teaching institutes. As well as teaching basic grammar, Anaïs also teaches you about the culture and traditions in France, and what to say in certain situations, which I found both interesting and useful. She is very organised, plans lessons well and adapts them according to your personal goals. I highly recommend her to anybody wanting to take private French lessons.”

FATIMA P.

“My husband and I wanted to improve our French for a combination of reasons. The main one being our love of snowboarding in the French Alps! We both did GCSE French but really wanted to improve our knowledge and grasp of the language. We found Anais online two years and a half ago and have been studying French ever since. Lee and I started at different levels and Anaïs has been able to accommodate this and provide balanced lessons. Happily out French has improved massively. Anaïs' lessons are enjoyable and well-paced, as well as challenging.”

MICHELLE AND LEE.

“I attended french lessons at school a long time ago but I remember almost nothing. I have recently been holidaying in France and it is now our intention to retire there. I have been having one lesson per week for over a year now with Anais. It has been difficult for me but Anais has been very patient and understanding. She listened to my needs at the outset and has gradually taken me through a journey of learning that has been challenging but at a pace that I have been able to manage. It has been fun and although throughout the journey, at times, I have felt that I have been struggling to move forward, when I look back I can see just how far I have come. Anais has given me confidence, enthusiasm, support and encouragement to achieve my ambition. Just like learning to drive a car everything you need to know is given in the lessons but your own success is down to the practice you commit to in between the lessons, I need to do more! I really enjoy the lessons, I’m grateful to Anais for all the help, guidance and support she has given me and would really recommend her to anyone wanting to learn french in a personal way that is tailored to your own requirements and enjoyable. Thanks Anais!”

BRYAN S.

“I have had a great experience with Anaïs. Not only has she encouraged me in my learning of French, but she has also given me the confidence to apply for jobs in France and integrate into the French system. She is methodical in her approach, clear, flexible and fun.”

RUTH G.

“Last year I had a lovely holiday in Provence but felt frustrated at how little I was able to communicate in French. I felt determined to do better next time, so searched for some one to one French lessons in Bristol. I've really enjoyed my lessons with Anaïs. It's great to be taught by a native French speaker as she can explain all the subtleties and quirks of the language. Anaïs has a very clear and easy to follow teaching style and is always happy to answer my questions and teach at the pace I need. She is friendly and encouraging and I feel confident that I'm getting a thorough grounding in the language ready for my next holiday.”

SALLY F.

“Anaïs took me on as a complete beginner without being able to speak any French at all. I was leaving the UK within three weeks to live and work in France for several months and Anaïs was given the task of teaching me enough French to get by. She was pushy and demanding but when I arrived in France I was able to make myself understood and build on the "emergency pack" so to speak that she taught me. I would not have been able to survive without her expertise. The French people I met were so impressed with how much I’d been taught in such a short space of time and I’ve continued to study with her since my return to the UK. Anaïs is a clever and talented French teacher with plenty of patience and understanding.”

MARK D.

“I started lessons with Anaïs four months ago in preparation for an extended holiday in France during 2017. I am 56 years old and my last French lesson was 40 years ago so there was a lot to learn - Anaïs pretty much had to start from scratch with me. It was great to have one to one tuition, I'm not that comfortable with speaking to a group and I believe a classroom environment would not have been suitable for me. I am amazed at how much Anaïs has taught me and how my confidence is growing. We've focussed on stuff that will help me in my day to day living in France which is perfect for me due to the short amount of time I've had to learn the language. There is homework every week which Anais will normally test me on at the next lesson - not an onerous amount but about 15-30 minutes per day. She's been great a teaching me different ways to learn, for example I struggled with memorising a list of verbs and she introduced the idea of making 'verb cards' to help. It really did make a difference. She's also a nice person to spend time with which always helps! I'd have no hesitation in recommending classes with Anaïs.”

LYNN H.

“I enjoy going to France for my holidays and I have a friend who lives there so we mix with the neighbours and I really wanted to be able to have a conversation with them in French. My understanding of French has improved a lot since I have been taking lessons with Anaïs. Conversation is much better but still needs to be worked on. I am an older pupil and therefore take longer to learn new information, especially a foreign language. Thankfully Anaïs is a very encouraging, gentle and considerate teacher, she explains things well and she is very patient.”

SALLY T.

“I took lessons with Anaïs because I was moving to France and wanted to get by once there. I had French lessons before but I always gave up quickly. The lessons really helped me, I gained more confidence than ever and I enjoyed learning French. Anaïs is definitely the best French teacher I have had!”

SOPHIE L.

“Thank you very much for your coaching, I think it made a huge difference for me in terms of warming up and having confidence. I got the job and will be soon moving to Paris!! Thank you again!”

SWATHI N.

“The courses with Anaïs have helped to improve my level of Business French significantly. I have grown in confidence, broadened my French vocabulary and can now hold conversations more credibly and with more self-assurance than I could before. Anaïs is supportive, patient and always flexibile with dates and times of the lessons around my job. I cannot recommend her lessons highly enough!”

DAMIAN S.

“Me and three of my colleagues had French lessons with Anais in our premises. We work with a French company and wanted to improve our French. Anais is a brilliant french teacher. She was very patient with us and her lessons are well-structured. Our vocabulary and our use of verbs have definitely improved!”

AMY C.

“I have been attending lessons with Anais for close to a year to brush up on my general French and to learn business French. After a 25 year gap between GCSE French and today, to say that I was a little rusty at the start is an understatement. Anais has been very patient with me and is good at adjusting her teaching to the right speed depending on how quickly I am learning. Her attention to detail is excellent and I know that I am learning to speak the language properly. I have learnt a lot of new vocabulary over the last months and also now understand the structure of the language much better than I did before. The lessons are very enjoyable, in a friendly and relaxed environment ”

DAN P.

“Anaïs is a friendly and approachable tutor - I enjoyed my lessons with her and felt I progressed well. I liked the option to learn in person or via Skype (this suited my busy work schedule), and appreciated her amending some course content to suit my practical needs (eg. working in France). I hope to see her again very soon. Thank you Anaïs!”

LANI E.

“Anais responded very quickly to my initial inquiry and was pleasant to talk to. She was keen to understand my aims and suggested a course of action accordingly. I was matched with a fantastic tutor, Hugo. After just six lessons I have seen a marked difference in my French speaking - my vocabulary has expanded, I am feeling more confident, and he has tailored the lessons to suit my needs and interests. I couldn't recommend him, or Anais' company, enough!”

YASMINA W.

“I'd highly recommend tutoring sessions with Anais if you want to improve your French. She kept her lessons easy, encouraging & interesting for months of tutoring me. She also took notes during the classes so that you can easily revisit your past mistakes, and anything you learned outside of the book during the lessons. She's also fun to talk with about French culture and customs. You won't regret it!”

TYAH E.

“Anaïs has been amazing at developing my French language skills. As someone who had been 'self-teaching' through apps like duolingo and online systems, I hadn't realised how many bad habits I'd picked up! Anaïs has helped me to undo these mistakes, and has given me enough confidence to push towards my DELF B1 exam. She takes lessons at my pace, and adapts the content depending on my requirements, which you wouldn't get in group classes. She's also a lovely person, and I genuinely look forward to my lessons every week!”

“I learned French at school and did reasonably well at ‘O level’ (as it was in those days!), but didn’t use the language for many years after that and as a result forgot most of what I had previously known. When my wife and I acquired a French holiday property a few years ago, I decided I ought to try to re-learn the language and initially signed up for an internet course with Babbel. This helped me to get back into the language, and in particular to re-learn some of the vocabulary and grammar, but I still found conversing in French in ‘real time’ extremely difficult. My wife had been having lessons with Anaïs for a while, and had been getting on well, so I thought I would try some lessons to myself to see if I could improve my speaking ability. I explained to Anaïs what I was looking for and she was able to adapt her style of teaching to my needs as well as my level of ability in French. Our lessons focus on conversation, and Anaïs gets me to do most of the speaking, only intervening if I get stuck, perhaps with a gentle prompt or an expression that lets me know I have made a mistake, and gives me the opportunity to correct it myself if I can. After four or five months, I am really enjoying the lessons and I find that my level of confidence and ability in spoken French has increased significantly. I would thoroughly recommend her as a teacher.”

PAUL V.

“Having lived in France for 2 years, my French quickly started to get rusty once I returned to the UK. I finally decided to do something about it and have been having lessons with Anaïs for about 5 months. Having that time once a week to re-immerse myself in the language and chat about anything and everything has really revived my skills and made me realise how much I'd missed speaking French! Anaïs is friendly, open and really easy to talk to - it feels just like chatting to a friend, except you get helpful corrections to your grammar and vocabulary along the way!”

FLORENCE B.

“I was looking to have one-to-one lessons with a native French speaker mainly to improve my spoken French. I had previously studied French to degree level and I had lived and worked in France. However, since leaving France many years ago, I had lost all confidence in speaking French. I like the lessons with Anaïs because we speak French 100% of the time. I find that I make more progress in the lessons because they are tailored to my needs. Anaïs makes notes during the lesson correcting my mistakes and at the end I have a list of new words and phrases for me to learn. What is also important for me is that Anaïs is always cheerful and friendly which makes the lessons very enjoyable and an hour with Anaïs just flies by. It really is a pleasure to have lessons with her.”

“I am having a brilliant time studying an intermediate French course with Anais & Co. The course is well laid out, with very instructive course materials and exercises to complete. The tutor I have is wonderful, very friendly and is very much helping me gain more confidence in my French. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their French.”

LEWIS H.

“Anaïs is one of the best teachers I have had. She is patient, positive and diligent, encouraging you to do your best. Not only does she provide a great environment for learning a new language (the cat being a pleasant distraction) but also she has a proactive attitude which is helpful if you struggle with some aspects of the language you are trying to learn. She quickly picks up your mistakes and teaches you the best way to avoid them. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and have made quick progress. I would recommend Anaïs to anyone who is eager to learn French be it for a job or as a hobby.”

My teacher Apolline was very pleasant to learn with making the classes enjoyable and instructional. Based on my experience I would use them again and recommend them to others.”

PAUL X.

“Anais is an inspiring and dynamic teacher who has become a dear friend. Every lesson with her is a fun and rewarding experience and I would highly recommend her to students of every level.”

SOPHIE U.

“Well, this must be the easiest review I’ve ever had to give. Anaïs’ French lessons are brilliant. Thanks to the lovely Margot, I’m finally able to improve my French after years of looking for a suitable approach. I tried evening classes, online lessons and speaking to random French people - to no avail. Margot is fantastic at keeping the conversation flowing (even when I have very little interesting chat to add) and I learn new expressions every time we talk. I also really appreciate her suggestions for French TV shows and movies to watch (Dix Pour Cent - super). If there was a sixth star I would tick it. Highly recommended.”

KAROLINA D.

“My daughter had lessons with Anaïs for about 2 years and stopped to go to school. After our summer holidays in France this year, she realised herself that she wanted to try learning more French again and asked me to contact Anaïs. As a parent this makes me happy, because we generally push our children to learn a new language. Anaïs is a great teacher and her fun, interesting and well adapted lessons have paid off! ”

FREYA S.

“My boys (9 and 10 years old) were absolutely thrilled with their lesson with Anaïs, which is fantastic ! They are looking forward very much to the next lessons! It’s great to see them so inspired ! Thank you very much!”

KESHINI P.

“Marie worked with my daughter a while back for her GCSE and now she wants to do a French A level. Anais must have done a fantastic job as my daughter was very unsure about French.”

PAUL R.

“Last year I was studying GCSE French at my secondary school. After the first few months into GCSE, I found it very difficult and also really tough to keep up with everyone else. About five months before my exam, I decided to get a tutor, to help me grasp French. From the first moment of being tutored by Anaïs, I immediately started to benefit from it. Anaïs was always very calm, helpful and supportive. She would always helped me with my homework and set me extra work, to further my knowledge. Within the five months from going to Anaïs, I felt confident and able to contribute fully in my class at school. Anaïs helped me from working at level D, to getting a B in my speaking exam and an overall C in my final exam! If I hadn't had her as a tutor, I honestly think I would have failed my whole French GCSE. Thank you again, Anaïs for having made it possible!”

KAYLEIGH H.

“I am in year 10 at school and I have found the lessons so useful and great to have alongside school. I have had French lessons with Anaïs for almost a year now, and she has really helped me improve all aspects of the language but particularly speaking. The lessons are lots of fun and I always learn lots. They really are a big help to prepare for GCSE.”

Anaïs is reliable, a great communicator and a fantastic french teacher who we highly recommend, especially to get prepared for GCSE.”

KIM D.

“Me and My sister had lessons with Anaïs for 6 months to get ready for our GCSE exam. Anaïs is an amazing and friendly teacher, we have really enjoyed our lessons! She is reliable and flexible to the way you learn. She helped us with grammar, tenses, and sentence structures and also pushed us to work on the 4 parts of the exam by setting past papers as homework. It was really nice for us to have such a friendly and knowledgeable teacher. We now feel ready for the exam! We really recommend her teaching to anyone learning French.”

LAURA AND ELLA.

“Anais has been a tutor to my 15 year old daughter for nearly a year. Anais has given my daughter support so her confidence in French has soared. In her latest exams, my daughter scored A's in French, a huge improvement in a subject my daughter did not feel strong in before starting tutorials with Anais. Anais has provided her with a clear structure in her lessons and a friendly, positive environment to learn in. I firmly recommend Anais as a tutor as she has been such a great support for my daughter.”

We have worked together through out the year to improve my understanding of French grammar, as well as on translation exercises, where I have found it invaluable to have the help of a fluent French speaker. Anais is very friendly and welcoming, and her flexibility to work on whatever suits me, and arrange classes as and when I need them has been perfect. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor!”

Anaïs knows how to adapt the lesson to the learning style and the needs of the student, she is extremely patient and she always tries to make the lesson enjoyable and interesting. Now that I have moved to the french-speaking part of Belgium, I realise the value of everything I learnt with her. Thank you for everything Anaïs!! :) ”
