Your teacher will explain your mistakes and help you understand how to communicate more naturally.

Nuala Cahill –
I have practised oral french with Aurelia over the past two years. I am retired and have done several classes in groups and other settings because I wished to become fairly fluent, both for my own enjoyment as well as for going on holidays and communicating with french people. I never really became as fluent as I would like and decided to try one-on-one tuition. I went online and found Aurelia. I found her classes very interesting and helpful.
They were especially useful because they were tailor-made to my own specific needs. The classes had great variety , combining grammar needs as they arose with a wide variety of interesting topics. These topics took many forms…a newspaper article, a video, simple oral conversation and reading aloud. The reading aloud exercise was very interesting because it enabled me to get used to hearing my own voice speaking french. I used to be very self conscious when hearing myself speak french.
I was on holiday in France this summer for the first time since the pandemic and I was very happy with how I could converse, and more importantly, understand, the people I spoke with. I consider myself very fortunate and I’m immensely grateful to Aurelia, whom I had never met or known before.

I am currently living in France in my retirement and have been learning French with Aurelia for six months. Before then I had learnt a little bit of French on line but I had no confidence at all and could not make myself understood in France. In the last six months my French has improved dramatically and I am much more confident in speaking.
Aurelia’s lessons are interesting and challenging. She uses many different ways to teach me so I never get bored and I always look forward to my lessons with her. She understands how difficult it is to learn a language and is very patient with me!!! I would recommend Aurelia highly.

I took French lessons with Aurélia while I stayed in France for a month. Aurélia is patient and guiding as a teacher, which helped me gain confidence to practise my speaking. Every course was filled with all different kinds of exercises, this really encouraged me to improve my oral skills in this short period of time. Thank you Aurélia!
