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
“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!”
“I loved it and am amazed how much I learned. Brilliant class, thank you.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Catherine is a very engaging teacher and I felt I learned quite a bit.”
“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! ”
“I’m still very much enjoying Paty’s lessons, she really has an ability to make learning fun.”
“Thank you for an enjoyable course…I always look forward to my Tuesday evenings!”
“I would like to put on record my thanks to Laura for her patience and for making the classes most enjoyable evenings.”
“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.”
“Elliot is a brilliant teacher and has been such a help to me with the advancement of my French.”
“I enjoy the class very much and look forward to starting again in a couple of weeks.” (French class with Emilie)
“The class went really well, I got a lot out of it. Fran is great fun and a really good teacher.”
“May I say once again how super the course has been and all gratitude to Amal…a fabulous teacher.”
“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.”
“Cannot fault it. Marie-Laurence on her usual great form, very helpful and supportive.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Astrid is a super teacher and covers bits of culture as well where they are relevant to the language.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“You’re a great teacher and I enjoyed your lessons!”
“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”
