From the off we had excellent communication with Marjorie. She was very flexible in arranging dates and rearranging her schedule. She understood immediately my daughter’s requirements and as the week went on met them. Marjorie’s course was a team effort with her delightful family who made me feel exceedingly welcome. My daughter, 17, was very pleased with the course, and Marjorie’s teaching style and responsiveness and I wholeheartedly recommend an immersion course chez Marjorie.

I have been studying with Marjorie for over 18 months now. Her energy and passion for teaching never fails to provide engaging & useful lesson content tailored to my needs, Importantly she has been very patient when I have come across various difficult topics which has been instrumental in my progression to date. I study French for Business and therefore the flexibility she offers me is a huge benefit when needing to fit lessons into a busy schedule.

My twin daughters have benefited hugely with the extra support Marjorie has provided in the lead up to their French GCSEs. Her enthusiasm and passion for teaching French has been an inspiration to engage and motivate them to stay on track. My girls now feel more confident with their French and going into exams. The flexibility that online lessons provide makes life easier to juggle both my work commitments and their after school activities. Face to face support adds another dimension which has been invaluable in the lead up to their speaking and listening exams. I am delighted with the progress my girls have made and will miss Marjorie’s cheerful disposition and gentle encouragement. (footnote added later) I’m thrilled to be able to add the girls’ exam results to the testimonial – one achieved a “9” and the other an “8”.

I discovered Marjorie’s French language training courses last year, whilst in France. I made contact with her and arranged for a trial session which I found to be most interesting. Early this year, I enrolled in a 5-week course. Lessons can be arranged at reasonable times and are very flexible. Having completed this French training course, this has proved to be a very rewarding and enjoyable experience. Marjorie’s training methods are, without doubt, exceptional and I now feel confident enough to use this knowledge when in France. Thank you for your guidance – I will certainly be taking up the option of further training later in the year.

I spent 5 days with Marjorie and her family in a charming Breton village. They gave me a warm welcome and put me at my ease from the beginning.  During me stay I gained in confidence because I was speaking French all the time.  From studying grammar to meeting neighbours and drinking panachés, from visiting historical sites to attending a “Mussels Festival” (and more besides), I learnt a lot …. Thanks to Marjorie and her daughters – without forgetting their little dog.  It was the best
