"Intensive course"

The week long intensive course was just what I wanted.
Within a friendly, relaxed and supportive environment, as I happily slurped my coffee there was listening, speaking, observing, experimenting, recording... it was all in there
Thank you Ellie. Recommend 100%

"Brilliant lessons for learning French for work or business"

I am a beginner French learner and look forward to my French lessons with Ellie every week!
I highly recommend Ellie's online flexible group classes to any other beginners and particularly to those who are, like me, learning for work/business purposes.
After just a couple of months of lessons I have developed confidence in attempting to speak basic French to native speakers, and to communicate via email with colleagues and clients in France.

"An intensive course with Ellie"

I have been studying with Ellie and The French Room since moving to France nearly 7 months ago. I really love the relaxed and fun approach of the weekly group lessons so, when Ellie offered the opportunity to book into an online intensive course, I leapt at the chance to take part.
Structured differently to the normal weekly lessons, Ellie still kept the course varied and good fun whilst gently encouraging me out of my comfort zone to push me forward. The course wasn't always easy (!) but by the end of the week, using the "tools" I'd been given, I felt more confident and relaxed about communicating and have since embarked on conversations more freely than before! I would 100% recommend an intensive course with Ellie, as the "safe" and supportive environment she provides is a perfect place to be "pushed" just that little bit further.

"The French Room Book Club"

Nous nous sommes tellement amusés lors des trois séances du club de lecture qu’Ellie a choisi la pièce / film / livre très amusante. ´Le dîner’
Nous avons écouté et lu des passages ensemble et bien sûr nous avons aussi pu regarder le film. À la fin, nous avons tous pu suivre et comprendre les blagues, ce fut une expérience excellente. J’attends la suite avec impatience.
Je vous recommande vivement de nous rejoindre. À bientôt ! Nikki

"Ellie is fantastic"

Ellie is fantastic! We met, and she immediately understood my level, and we got to work. Most of my previous learning has been formal study. Ellie provides much more practical instruction. I have really enjoyed my experience, and I look forward to fluency!

"Ellie’s approach to French teaching is…"

Ellie’s approach to French teaching is perfect for me. The lessons feel very tailored to us as individuals and I really enjoy the pace and techniques. I also really value the flexibility offered when buying a set of passes - this really suits my busy lifestyle and is real value for money. I also really appreciate that Ellie always responds quickly to admin queries outside of class via the class chat function which is great and unusual in the larger more impersonal institutions I’ve studied at previously. Highly recommend.

"Great opportunity to improve your language skills!"

The French Room has provided me with the confidence to go forward and converse in French when out and about. Meeting weekly and chatting in French with others at the same level makes such a difference and whilst it is challenging it is also very rewarding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone considering learning or improving their French language skills to make use of the variety of learning tools available through The French Room.

"Fabuleuse!"

Fabuleuse!
I love learning with Ellie. She explains tricky concepts clearly and simply. She makes French grammar comprehensible! Her lessons are interesting and tailor-made to each person's style and skill. I would thoroughly recommend her.

"A transformative journey in French language"

"I’ve spent many years on and off trying to improve my French. The French Room has seen the best outcomes for the investment by far. For me Ellie has done many things that made the magic: she valued and consolidated what I’d learned to date, built my confidence that was a game changer, and filled gaps and grew my skills by targeted, small components that are effective and rewarding. My motivation is maintained and I’ve seen a massive difference when in France. I recommend very highly."

"Learning French in a Tailored Way"

Ellie makes it easy to move your French forward no matter your level, available time and motivation. The website has many tutorials for self-study, but the video lessons are the key to improving your spoken French. Excellent and highly recommended.
