After struggling through my first semester of French at University I knew some urgent action was required. While searching for a private tutor, I was lucky enough to stumble upon an absolute gem – Devy! My French improved enormously and I went from barely passing the subject to getting high distinctions. Finally, grammar was explained in a logical way which made perfect sense to me! But it was my change in attitude that made the biggest difference. I suddenly found learning French fun and interesting (rather than terrifying).

I always looked forward to meeting weekly with Devy and became much more confident as a result. I would highly recommend French Speak to anyone looking to learn quality French in a supportive environment.

My time studying with French Speak has been really beneficial to my study of French. In particular, the one-on-one learning helped me to identity the areas which needed particular attention. I also found that having one consistent tutor helped me gain confidence. This assisted me in passing my DELF exam. I would recommend individual lessons of this kind to anybody seeking to improve their French.

I chose French Speak to teach my children who had an interest in learning a language – one an interest in travel, the other an interest in ballet (terms and ballet movements) – because when I contacted them they were prompt and courteous. The children had no background in French but they have found the lessons and their teacher extremely approachable and the method of teaching she has used has made the lessons fun and engaging.

I would recommend French Speak to anyone who would like to learn a language no matter what age or French language knowledge background.

Devy is fantastic – incredibly friendly, and knowledgeable… She is able to answer all my questions about pronunciation and grammar!!!
