You will benefit from:

bulletlearning at the level and pace appropriate to your own needs and abilities  (determined and monitored via frequent evaluations).
bulletour avant-garde teaching method, the "facultative learning model" whereby we 'guide' your learning, rather than 'force' it (unlike most other schools who still use the older "directive teaching model").
bullethighly trained and dedicated teachers, who truly enjoy guiding participants to a new  level of understanding and knowledge of the French language and culture.
bulletthe emphasis we put on 'practical' learning, learning which you can immediately apply to your daily contact with French people in real life and business situations.
bulletour constant seeking for the best material, teaching methods and feedback procedures: we always stay on the cutting edge, and so will you.
bullet While the classroom is an important focal point for absorbing the critically important structure and vocabulary of a language, we help bring the language "alive" through a rich variety of real-life experiences, and through the use of a wide range of learning materials and media. CD Roms, drawings, films extracts of real life situations are just some of the tools used to help our students learn and speak the language. The constant interaction we provide is only possible because we never overcrowd group lessons, accepting no more than 4 students per group and making sure their levels are compatible.

Upon completion of a course, the students will be awarded a Certificate of Completion and an Evaluation Report giving written proof of their achievements and  progress.
