Tutoring
…Whenever you like: Private lessons can be scheduled anytime between 7am and 9pm every day, including Saturday. There is a 90-minute minimum duration for classes.
…Wherever you like: Your home, workplace, a Darwin school room, a café terrace or even exploring Bordeaux with your teacher: the city is your classroom.
…As often as you like: You decide the pace. One session a week or five, it's entirely up to you.
Book private lessons →Combined
Combined lessons allow you to do French lessons in mini-group in the mornings and either one-to-one lessons or excursions in the afternoon.
You decide on a bespoke timetable. While the group lessons facilitate quick progression thanks to much interaction with the other students, the one-to-one lessons allow you to develop your knowledge in a deeper way.
No need to learn about French food in a book: you can learn while wandering the Marché des Chartrons with your teacher, or enjoy a drink on a café terrace overlooking the Garonne.
