Our Teachers

We teach standard, conversational French. Our teachers are all qualified FLE professionals (FLE stands for Français Langue Etrangère, i.e. French as a Foreign Language) and regularly attend professional trainings. The teachers who work with minors are all blue card holders who have experience teaching children. Our team of teachers is extremely dedicated to providing all students with the best learning experience and outcomes while making every student matter.
