About Us
We are a group of teachers passionate about helping people to learn languages. We started this language school in 2015, out of a desire to empower you to communicate with people of different nationalities. Our courses are informal, with no exams or qualifications attached. We use the communicative approach to help you to learn a language effectively and to have fun while doing it.
Our Teachers
What our students say
“Elliot has been brilliant this term and facilitated all the lessons with interest and humour. We have all learned a lot and now will be able to consolidate in the holiday.”
“Soraya was an excellent teacher and did a great job in tailoring the sessions to disparate abilities and knowledge levels.”
“I am very pleased I agreed to sign up for Thursday classes. We are fortunate in having a superb teacher in Marzia Galvan.”
“Christelle was great fun and I felt that she pitched the lesson just right, I certainly learnt quite a bit. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere and exactly what I was hoping for.”
“I really enjoyed the course and would like to thank Giulia for her patience, hard work and making the lessons interesting for us and giving us a feel of Italy beyond the language.”
“Thank you for an enjoyable course…I always look forward to my Tuesday evenings!”
“The class yesterday with Daisy was great. I enjoyed how we got stuck straight in and made the most of the time too. It flew by! I’m looking forward to next week already!”
“Svetlana has sent me the work and has very efficiently explained it. The course is going well, and I felt confident enough to be able to try to reply to her in German, probably with some mistakes however!”
“I would like to put on record my thanks to Laura for her patience and for making the classes most enjoyable evenings.”
“Astrid is a super teacher and covers bits of culture as well where they are relevant to the language.”
“I enjoyed the course immensely and have already signed up for the next one. Svetlana is a brilliant teacher.”
“Cannot fault it. Marie-Laurence on her usual great form, very helpful and supportive.”
“Elliot is a brilliant teacher and has been such a help to me with the advancement of my French.”
“I am very impressed with the way you have moved to online so quickly and with the way that Soraya handled the online class so professionally.”
“Catherine is a very engaging teacher and I felt I learned quite a bit.”
“Giulia is an excellent teacher. She’s great at answering our questions and we get to practise and repeat as we’re a small group so we’re learning a lot.”
“Thank you so much for amazing classes and allowing me to learn a new language.”
“I really enjoyed the course and Astrid was great. She was very good, understanding and friendly and was just what I hoped for.”
“I’m still very much enjoying Paty’s lessons, she really has an ability to make learning fun.”
“The course is very good and well presented. I like that Emmanuela speaks only in Italian. It sets an expectation that we all seem to meet.”
“This has been a very good course with an excellent teacher. Thank you very much for providing these classes – I have already recommended them to friends.”
“You’re a great teacher and I enjoyed your lessons!”
“Christine is ‘merveileuse’! We had a really splendid time last evening. She had prepared so much for us and it was completely systematic. Without reservation, super. Thank you. I’ve so enjoyed the French Intermediate Class with Christine this last term. She’s been simply fabulous.”
“I really enjoyed the class and found Chiara an excellent teacher. The students were very warm and welcoming too.”
“May I say once again how super the course has been and all gratitude to Amal…a fabulous teacher.”
“Can I say how much I have enjoyed taking part in the classes! Adriana really is a great teacher, and the other students have been lovely. It’s been a joy to take part.”
“I have really enjoyed studying with Bev the last 3 months. Really, she is a superb teacher. She makes learning such fun, it’s impossible not to want to learn, quite an art I think”
“Roberta is a very charismatic teacher who prepares interesting and informative lessons and I have learned so much this year.”
“This is better than the German class I was attending last year at the University of Southampton. I liked how Svetlana conducted the whole lesson in German.”
“I very much like Christine and thought her lesson was challenging (which is a good thing!) and structured. I look forward to my future classes.”
“Daniel really did make the evening classes I did attend enjoyable”
“Jon has been a brilliant teacher, he’s friendly, polite, helpful and most of all patient with us! I would highly recommend to anyone else who wanted to do this course.”
“Tecla is a lovely teacher and I enjoyed the classes.”
“The class went really well, I got a lot out of it. Fran is great fun and a really good teacher.”
“The classes have been great, full of social experience of like minded people all having an emotional connection to France in some way and eager to learn more through the French language. With Karen’s gentle approach I have managed to feel more confident and feel my Paris trip will be enhanced by this experience!
Karen stimulated an atmosphere of encouragement and support towards group members that was very skilful and non judgemental! ”
