What is the course about?

London was once a place of refuge for the Huguenots, for numerous political refugees, and more close to us, for the HQ of the Free France movement during the Second World War. It has also long been a land of opportunities for many entrepreneurs, craftspeople and artists.

If you know where to look and what to look for, traces of this history remain in street names, buildings and shops.

Anais Perdaems

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Anais et je viens d'un petit village près de Nice. I have an MA in Literature, I qualified as a teacher in France before living abroad. I have been teaching French as a foreign language for the past 14 years to students of different age groups. I believe that, above all, learning should be a joy. I provide well-structured, clearly aimed lessons with authentic resources to accommodate various learning profiles and learning preferences. I understand the need for students to build their confidence in a relaxed learning atmosphere, with the right level of challenge, guided by constructive feedback. I encourage my students to carry on learning independently, for e.g. with quality online resources. I like to feel intellectually stimulated. Hopefully, my many interests provide the variety and depth to keep my students interested!

Please note: We reserve the right to change our tutors from those advertised. This happens rarely, but if it does, we are unable to refund fees due to this. Our tutors may have different teaching styles; however we guarantee a consistent quality of teaching in all our courses.
