‘Emmanuelle has grasped the complexities of the organisation and has tailored her tutoring approach accordingly. Positive feedback has been received on all of her various projects including: Training for two Human Resource Managers on running a performance review workshop for a French subsidiary; Spoken language training for a Client Service Manager; French language (spoken and written) and Presentation skills for a board member’.

‘I have found Emmanuelle to be a highly effective, friendly, encouraging, professional and hard-working teacher. She has responded well to my requirements as an Ambassador to Guinea (West Africa), she has always given helpful and full feedback, and has actively sought information and new materials about Guinea’s politics, history ans culture. This has helped me not only to improve my language skills, but also to learn more about Guinea.’

‘Emmanuelle pays careful attention to understanding her clients’ needs and aspirations. She is proactive in preparing relevant material in advance of each session and is effective and encouraging within the sessions. I have made a level of progress that has been remarked on by my French colleagues and has enabled me to play a much more active role in our French projects.’

‘Emmanuelle has a very pleasant style during the lessons during which she is able to draw out the best in a student which gives the student the confidence to go forward. I have found that my French has improved significantly under her tuition. Emmanuelle is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher. She has given me a structured tuition, with clear objectives for each lesson followed by related homework. I have also found that she is flexible in her approach as she was able to arrange some additional lessons at very short notice.’

‘I received training from Emmanuelle for over a year. Her style of teaching is such that she provides the student with such confidence that there is no fear of making mistakes and it is this supportive environment and Emmanuelle’s patience that really adds to the success of her training. Emmanuelle made every effort to make the training fit to my objectives and needs (job-related) and uses a wide variety of techniques and methods during the classes and makes the training not only enjoyable but also challenging. The training added great value to my work as I have confidently been able to start communicating more in French both in writing and in speaking as required. My listening skills have also improved and I can easily follow meetings in French when I am in West Africa.’
