“Estelle understands learning, including working with people who are neurodivergent. I am incredibly grateful for her and have found the right teacher who has helped me learn.”

If you need a patient, kind, compassionate, and expert French teacher, Estelle is the person. I have ADHD and memory issues. Estelle has been creative in helping me find techniques to stay motivated and, more importantly—learn (and remember).

Before I found Estelle, I tried several tutors that didn't fit my learning style. However, Estelle understands learning, including working with people who are neurodivergent.

I am incredibly grateful for her and have found the right teacher who has helped me learn (even if the going is slow) and feel confident in French as I develop my skills. I recommend Estelle without exception. She's an amazing teacher and a great person!

“The combination that Estelle offers, via conversation classes and grammar classes not to mention the large amount of resources available on La Classe app are definitely helping me progress.”

Estelle’s French lessons are excellent. I’m not a natural when it comes to learning another language. However, the combination that Estelle offers, via conversation classes and grammar classes not to mention the large amount of resources available on La Classe app are definitely helping me progress. With continued lessons, I’m confident I will be able to attain an excellent level of French.

“Through her lessons, my confidence in speaking and listening is finally improving!”

Through Estelle’s lessons, my confidence in speaking and listening (both of which have always been a weakness of mine) is finally improving!

I love the structure of Estelle's lessons but also the flexibility that she has in adjusting lessons to meet my specific needs.

She has huge amounts of resources on her app and it's really useful to be able to use the online lesson notes and videos to revisit lessons. I particularly enjoy the conversation lessons which cover a huge variety of topics. These are helping to widen my vocabulary and they provide a variety of contexts to apply grammatical structures which have been introduced in group lessons.

“The conversation classes are helping immensely with my confidence”

“Estelle’s courses provide a perfect mix of informal conversation and formal instruction, with classes that are both fun and rigorous. The conversation classes are helping immensely with my confidence and everyday French and the B1 classes are perfect preparation for the citizenship exam.”

“I went from dreading classes to looking forward to them every week”

My partner is French and I really wanted to communicate with his family. I had tried French classes before and found them difficult. I didn’t always understand what was going on and it was very daunting, I took a long break and was reluctant to ever start classes again until I found Estelle.

She is an excellent teacher and she makes learning fun. Thanks to Estelle I went from dreading classes to looking forward to them every week and I passed my DELF & DALF exams. I would recommend her classes to everyone!

“Estelle is amazingly talented at understanding how to get the best out of her students.”

I met a Frenchman, fell in love, and got married..... somewhere in that time I realised I had to learn to speak and communicate with his family and friends! We also have a daughter who has automatic French citizenship (we live in the UK). My main objective was not to be left out, gain french citizenship and have options open to our family for the future. I have dyslexia which added to the challenge of studying a foreign language, however, this didn't phase Estelle who is amazingly talented at understanding how to get the best out of her students.

Last year, I successfully passed my DELF B1 exam. This exam is the main criteria for the citizenship application process. I wholeheartedly recommend Estelle, you should reach out to her today!

“With Estelle's help, the children's French improved more and more, they got excellent marks at school ...”

We are from China. Our family moved to Lyon because my husband was transferred to France. We had an unprecedented challenge with the language, because we didn't even know how to pronounce the alphabet in French, and I felt like I was illiterate. The children also had the same learning difficulty. With Estelle's help, the children's French improved more and more, they got excellent marks at school and they also managed to get into the International French School in Singapore. I took the DELF B1 exam and got a good mark of 80%. My eldest daughter took the DELF B2 exam and she also passed with a mark of 73%.

“Estelle adapts the class according to your needs and is great at assessing when you need a bit more or less help.”

I live in France and wanted to improve my French to communicate more easily. Estelle adapts the class according to your needs and is great at assessing when you need a bit more or less help. She also makes you feel at ease and able to make mistakes which means you are less self conscious and more likely to involve yourself fully in the lesson.

“My French language has improved so much over the past year, and thanks to Estelle, I am much more confident when in France.”

After buying a holiday home in the south of France, I quickly realised that my basic, school taught French was no use to me in the real world. I didn’t want to be unable to communicate with my French neighbours or feel embarrassed when I couldn't understand conversations. Estelle was recommended to me by a friend and after an initial chat over Zoom I signed up for weekly 1-2-1 lessons. It was the best decision! Estelle’s lessons are interesting, relevant and challenging and the weekly homework tasks build on the competency taught in the lesson. My French language has improved so much over the past year, and thanks to Estelle, I am much more confident when in France.
