Bespoke French Courses


A private French course "sur mesure" to fit you perfectly.

A Bespoke programme can be tailored to suit your particular goals and schedule whether learning French for pleasure or travel, or for work. 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 up to a third of lessons if your timetable is interrupted by work or other demands . 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 or postoned to the end of the set. 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.

On-line

Lessons may be via Skype, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams anywhere in the world. So long as you can connect to the internet you can learn French with one of our tutors.


Corporate training

Tuition can be held in-line in-company or at our school. Employees can sit an exam 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.

For times when you have to travel or cannot otherwise attend a lesson then you can keep your course going by having a lesson with your tutor using Skype.
