Bespoke French Courses

Sur mesure? … Non, haute couture

A Bespoke programme can be tailored to suit your particular goals and schedule whether learning French for pleasure or travel, or for work in a French business environment. Tuition is given either at your central London location or at our teaching centre.

With one to one tuition, unlike group classes, you can reschedule lessons that you might otherwise miss due to some unforeseen business event for example. All you have to do is tell us 48 hours in advance that you cannot make a lesson and it will be rescheduled to another day and time. Further, there is a four week overshoot period to each one to one contract for tuition to take such rescheduled lessons that could not be fitted in before the original end date. So, a lot of flexibility to ensure busy people get all their lessons. And if you have to travel then just tell us beforehand and we will put it in the timetable. Lessons do not have to be every week. The timetable - day, time, and frequency - is whatever suits you. Lessons are as long as you want subject to a 90 minute minimum.

You can have a course in general French or, if you already speak French, a course directed at some specific business area or specialised subject matter or prepare for a recognised qualification in French.

Corporate training

Tuition can be held in-company or at our school. Employees can sit an exams at the end of training and the employer can receive written progress reports. We come to your company to assess staff wanting French, discuss course objectives, and advise on forming groups.
