Françoise’s tutoring for my son and his French GCSE exams was 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Not only is she a lovely person who really cares and wants to help she is clearly very good a teaching French, so much so that she’s created her own online programme that goes from beginner to advanced. Not only did my son have 1:1 sessions with her but also accessed the online resources which really helped him in between sessions. Highly recommend Françoise and/or her online offering, massive thank you for all your help and support. ✨

I had a fantastic experience learning French with Languistique. I started lessons to prepare for a trip to France, and I felt so much more confident thanks to Francoise. She was happy to tailor each lesson for me and focus on the activities that I was planning to do on my trip. The videos she provided were really helpful too. They made it easy to review what we covered and practice on my own time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their French, whether for travel or general learning.

Françoise tutored my son for one and half years for his St Paul's scholarship exam. She is a very dedicated, hard working teacher and she made specific resources for my son that greatly improved his French writing abilities for his exams. Thank to her, my son was able to get his scholarship and for anyone who is looking for a French tutor she is the right person.

I had been trying to learn French for over 20 years and had never got beyond the perfect tense before I discovered Françoise. Now I have most of the tenses at my disposal. I initially attended the classes and found them to be well structured with a format which she followed week by week, alongside audio with transcripts. The audios come in all formats. After lockdown I completed some of the intermediate course, but soon found classes on Zoom more convenient. I am able to follow the course via handouts and homework is corrected on screen so I can see immediately where I have made mistakes. Françoise then posts it back to me for my files. I am never afraid to ask questions, and Françoise explains again and again if needs be. She understands that we all learn at different rates and in different ways. No question is ever too silly. I have now finished the advance course via Zoom, but in order to fill in those gaps that appeared along the way, I have also subscribed to her red subscription course and started from the beginning. The grammar appears alongside the vocabulary and sentence building. It is a multi-facetted course with grammar, tenses and verbs alongside a French speaker. I did not appreciate how far I had come until restarting the course. I use the dialogue as a dictation and can see my mistakes by pausing and checking. As an aside; my English grammar has improved considerably . Thank you Françoise

I am currently having 1:1 tuition with Francoise, supported by the online course materials. The lessons are relaxed, self paced, flexible but organised. The course materials are very comprehensive (from beginner to advanced) and well structured. Highly recommended.

I have had some individual tuition with Francoise as well as being part of a monthly group tutorial. Without exception Francoise’s lessons are topical, giving a wide range of vocabulary and with focused grammar exercises to complete. Her approach is very student friendly and one of the most approachable tutors I have encountered. I would recommend Francoise to anyone wishing to start learning or improve their French language skills. The distance learning material is also excellent.

After struggling for years with French verb tenses, extensive use of Languistique’s subscription videos enabled me to comfortably pass the DELF B1 exam at the first attempt. The comprehensive coverage and ability to practice were key to mastering the different tenses. I cannot recommend the tutorials highly enough! Robert

Really enjoyed learning French with Languistique, lessons are well organised by topics so it was perfect to navigate the list and choose what I wanted to learn next. I really liked the model for pronunciation and the opportunity to pause, think, repeat before checking the answers. Merci!!

Exceptional tutor! It took only a few sessions for our daughter to gain her confidence to undertake her GCSE spoken French exam. Teacher was incredibly helpful and supportive both academically and personally. Cannot thank François enough for her professionalism in helping our daughter to receive exceptional result - 7 of predicted 4! Highly recommended 👌
