Exeter French Lessons

I started French lessons with Martine three years ago at the beginning of the pandemic and have experienced such a wonderful three years of learning, laughing together and becoming increasingly proficient in French conversations! Not only are the lessons fun and informative but I have felt really encouraged and supported by Martine to become more confident and fluent in my French speaking and comprehension, and Martine's experience and talent for teaching shines through in this sense. She is clearly invested in her pupils' wellbeing and enjoyment of the lessons, as well as connecting with us on a personal level. Although I am based in London, Martine has invited me to come stay with her twice in Exeter over the past few years, for two very lovely weekends in which we have enjoyed French food and culture, and spoken in French which is just one example of how far above and beyond Martine goes as an effective and exceptionally kind French teacher! Thank you Martine for the past three years - words can't really sum up how lovely our lessons have been, and how much progress I feel I have made!

Martine is a brilliant tutor! Very thorough and patient she gives plenty of homework and support to her lessons. I recommend her highly. Never ever would I have thought Id be on the way to speaking French fluently but now I am.

Martine, was very friendly and straight away put me at ease as I was very nervous! I learnt a lot of new things very quickly. Thank you.

I am a regular visiter to France - 3 or 4 times a year, I practice written & listening in between visits but find it takes me a while to get back into French conversation on my return. Before our Summer visit I took a short course of French conversation on zoom with Martine. After the course and on arrival in France I felt immediately at home conversing with neighbours & others I met with confidence & was complimented several times on my speech and accent - I was delighted & heartily recommend her classes

Martine is a great teacher. She's friendly and approachable, the lessons are interesting and fun - so I feel I'm becoming a french speaker, not just someone who is learning some french!
