  • A university compulsory residential time in France
  • A short term or long term 3rd year abroad non-teaching post
  • A summer job in France to boost their French language skills
• A-level pupils who have an interest in the French language.

Student Feedback

I had just passed my A-levels and wanted to earn some money during the summer, but I also wanted to have an interesting time and learn more French. So I decided to look for a job in France.

I was not successful in my search until I came across Catherine 's web site. She offered me a job as a shop assistant, on the coast near Bordeaux. I had a fantastic time, making lots of friends, I earned money and definitely learned more French. Now, I am in my first year at university and I intend to go back to work in France next summer.

Proofreading

We are editors of a multilingual journal which has regular articles in French. They all need to be proofread before going to press and we have chosen to employ the services of Boost your French.

We are totally satisfied with Catherine's services. She meets our deadline which is sometimes very tight and we feel that we have had excellent value for money.

Learn French

We have been attending Catherine's classes for the past two years. They have been very successful and enjoyable. Our group consists of one adult, one 13 year old and two 15 year olds. The classes have included listening, speaking, reading and writing, in preparation for our GCSE exam next year.

Catherine has coped with the mixture of age and ability really well, supporting us individually and as a group, maintaining our individual involvement and motivation. We would all recommend her classes and teaching skills unreservedly, to all those wishing to learn or improve their French, whatever their age and ability.
