Overview

Our French (Advanced) evening language classes are open to adult learners, aged 18 and over, and are taught by skilled and experienced tutors.

Classes are delivered over two terms and you can join at the beginning of each term. Please note that Term 2 is a continuation of Term 1. To complete a full level, you need to attend the two consecutive terms.

To ensure that you enrol on the right course please check your language level with our tutors at one of our open evenings, alternatively you can also email us to arrange a telephone consultation.

Please see our homepage for term times.

The French (Advanced) teacher is French and the lessons are taught entirely in French. She is very enthusiastic and helpful, and makes the sessions fun. The lessons cover a wide range of topics such as French culture, politics and current issues, as well as covering grammar and vocabulary.
