We received the Label Quality FLE, awarded with the highest ratings in all categories, including student welcome and teaching structure. It is our priority to ensure the quality of every aspect of your language journey.

All of our wonderful teachers hold a master’s degree in teaching French as a foreign language (FLE) and have at least three years of teaching experience. They are passionate, highly qualified, and dedicated to ensuring that your learning experience is not only effective but also enjoyable. They will focus on what matters to you — for example, improving conversation skills, preparing for exams, or working on your daily-life French at your own pace.

  • Schedule: lessons from 8 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week — yes, bank holidays included!
  • Location: study at our centrally located school in Paris (we have coffee), take your learning beyond the classroom by exploring the city with your teacher, or learn from the comfort of your home — in person or online.
