My colleague and I have been having private lessons via Alliance Francaise for 3 years to support the opening of an office in Paris. My colleague now feels comfortable speaking French in Paris and my neighbours in France have commented on how much my fluency and understanding has increased. Each lesson is specifically tailored, not just to our respective levels, but also to our particular interests and involve a variety of learning materials from traditional language books through to Instagram via Podcasts and YouTube. Based on our experience, I would highly recommend Alliance Francaise in Oxford.

Emily White, Citrine International Tax Ltd

The quality of the training provided by the Alliance Francaise d'Oxford is incredible. Our audience is distinct but they totally warmed up to the unique way of teaching of the Alliance Francaise d'Oxford. As Head of Department, I was also very impressed by the resources chosen and used by the their team in their classes and our aim is to reach that premium quality. I highly recommend their workshops and CPD and will not hesitate to continue our collaboration in teaching French in the MOD.
