What Students Say

"Romain is always very happy to explain to me. Romain provides me with homework every lesson so I do not easily forget what I learned that day. Private French lessons allow me to speak without fear of embarrassing myself in front of other fellow learners and I feel welcomed to ask questions."

"Sasha got an 8/8 on her French exam. Her sentences were complex, accurate, and original, and she effectively used a range of interesting adjectives and adverbs. Romain was a great help in her achieving this outstanding result."

Nigel

"I am the father of Vanessa, who has been a student of Mr. Romain since January 2021. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Romain for his excellent weekly tutoring classes with Vanessa over the last year. Vanessa has achieved excellent results in both her Year 12 final exam and her Year 13 interim exam, where she received a predicted grade of 7—the highest possible in the IB subject. Romain has helped Vanessa to significantly improve her French writing, listening, and reading skills to achieve this outstanding result. Thank you, Romain, for your expert guidance."

"My son was struggling with his GCSE French Oral exam, so we contacted Interactive French for private tuition. His tutors—both Francky and Romain—are really nice, and I received very good feedback from my son about both of them. The study plan and syllabus provided was very well planned. While Francky targeted the academic side, Romain kept the lessons enjoyable and successfully sparked my son's interest. It was a perfect combination! I highly recommend Interactive French to my friends and family because of its professionalism and reasonable pricing. My son achieved 20/30 on his French oral and an overall Grade A!"
