“My husband and I wanted to improve our French for a combination of reasons. The main one being our love of snowboarding in the French Alps! We both did GCSE French but really wanted to improve our knowledge and grasp of the language. We found Anais online two years and a half ago and have been studying French ever since. Lee and I started at different levels and Anaïs has been able to accommodate this and provide balanced lessons. Happily out French has improved massively. Anaïs' lessons are enjoyable and well-paced, as well as challenging. ”

“I’ve been taking French lessons with Anaïs for a little over two years now, initially once a week, and lately twice a week on a consistent basis. I started as a complete beginner so at first we followed the textbook closely to build solid foundations and cover all the basics.
Once that was done, Anaïs gradually introduced more conversation practice, which has been incredibly valuable. I am learning French in order to communicate with my partner’s family and friends, and it is so rewarding to feel like I’ve progressed every single time we visit France.
This year, I decided to prepare for the B1 exam, and Anaïs was able to adapt the structure of our lessons to support that goal. Her lessons are always fun and engaging, and I’m really looking forward to every single one!
I am now reading my fourth book in French, which feels amazing and really highlights how much progress I’ve made. I’m excited to keep learning and to reach new heights with Anaïs in this new year.”

“I attended french lessons at school a long time ago but I remember almost nothing. I have recently been holidaying in France and it is now our intention to retire there. I have been having one lesson per week for over a year now with Anais. It has been difficult for me but Anais has been very patient and understanding. She listened to my needs at the outset and has gradually taken me through a journey of learning that has been challenging but at a pace that I have been able to manage. It has been fun and although throughout the journey, at times, I have felt that I have been struggling to move forward, when I look back I can see just how far I have come. Anais has given me confidence, enthusiasm, support and encouragement to achieve my ambition. Just like learning to drive a car everything you need to know is given in the lessons but your own success is down to the practice you commit to in between the lessons, I need to do more! I really enjoy the lessons, I’m grateful to Anais for all the help, guidance and support she has given me and would really recommend her to anyone wanting to learn french in a personal way that is tailored to your own requirements and enjoyable. Thanks Anais!”

“I have had a great experience with Anaïs. Not only has she encouraged me in my learning of French, but she has also given me the confidence to apply for jobs in France and integrate into the French system. She is methodical in her approach, clear, flexible and fun.”
Ruth
“Anais and Co make learning French really enjoyable. I have done one of the online intermediate classes and I think there has been a real improvement in my French language skills. I would highly recommend Anais and Co to anyone wanting to learn or improve their French.”
Sara
“Love Anais & Co lessons. My teacher Emma is absolutely amazing, attentive, very good at explaining, makes lessons fun & relevant to day to day life - so its easy for me to remember and practice things. The books and curriculum are very good too.”
Nadia
“I take private lessons with Anais & Co and I couldn't be happier with my classes. The lessons are tailored to skill level, and my teacher Célia, who I adore, also incorporates things that interest me into the lessons - such as French culture, food, and current events. I look forward to my lessons each week and my French has improved so much. I highly recommend Anais & Co and in particular Célia as a teacher (although I am sure all the teachers are great!).”
Lauren
“I've completed the beginners 2 and the intermediate 1 courses at Anais' language school and have really enjoyed it. I've worked with Celia and Victoria who have both been great teachers, striking a good mix between encouraging a relaxed learning atmosphere and one that pushes the student to get out of their comfort zone. Big thanks from my side and am looking forward to more!”
Alexander
“I've been learning French with Anais & co for around 9 months now, and have found the experience to be incredibly helpful for levelling up my skills. My tutor, Naima, is patient and thorough, and I've thoroughly enjoyed working with her throughout the process. While there's no silver bullet to learning a language, I've found my classes to be far more effective than any other method I've tried in the past and would recommend Anais & Co to anyone who's serious about developing their French.”
Zander
“I am enjoying the one-on-one online session with Anais. I like the flexible and efficient lesson schedules. The lesson is well planned and organized with class notes and reviews written in google docs. This way I can easily review the notes on the go. Anais knows how to engage her students and made sure they learn in the most efficient way according to her student's learning style!”
Camille
“Last year I had a lovely holiday in Provence but felt frustrated at how little I was able to communicate in French. I felt determined to do better next time, so searched for some one to one French lessons in Bristol. I've really enjoyed my lessons with Anaïs. It's great to be taught by a native French speaker as she can explain all the subtleties and quirks of the language. Anaïs has a very clear and easy to follow teaching style and is always happy to answer my questions and teach at the pace I need. She is friendly and encouraging and I feel confident that I'm getting a thorough grounding in the language ready for my next holiday.”
Sally
“Anaïs took me on as a complete beginner without being able to speak any French at all. I was leaving the UK within three weeks to live and work in France for several months and Anaïs was given the task of teaching me enough French to get by. She was pushy and demanding but when I arrived in France I was able to make myself understood and build on the "emergency pack" so to speak that she taught me. I would not have been able to survive without her expertise. The French people I met were so impressed with how much I’d been taught in such a short space of time and I’ve continued to study with her since my return to the UK. Anaïs is a clever and talented French teacher with plenty of patience and understanding.”
