Heloise has been my French tutor for over two years, and I chose her based on her impeccable credentials and high qualifications in the area. I decided to start learning French as an adult and despite few self-learning attempts I came to Heloise as a complete beginner. What set Heloise apart from other tutors was her ability to tailor the lessons to my needs, offering 100% individual approach, the right pace and flexibility. Not only was I progressing fast in learning the language and able to focus on what I considered my weaker areas, thanks to Heloise’s background and knowledge I was also getting invaluable tuition in French culture, history, politics, literature, etc. which I believe should always form part of language studies. I would recommend Heloise to anyone who values high quality teaching and individual approach.
