What did our students say about our French summer courses?

I attended for 2 weeks over the summer in 2016 and had the most incredible time. The school and teachers are fantastic and my french improved hugely in a short space of time. This was helped by staying with a lovely French family (who wouldn’t let me speak English!) I found it was ideal to be completely immersed in the language and would wholeheartedly recommend this. I would love to return soon.

Sophie came back yesterday and had really enjoyed the week with you - she spent several hours telling us all about it and showing us photos! It had worked so well with Mme Corrine - they got on really well😊 She said how lovely it was to meet you and your colleagues and make new friends and improve her French at the same time ! Thank you for everything in making it such a good experience for her.

I must say that I made some nice memories in the school. Learning French is just one of the many things that the place does offer. Its the chance to call another country, another world and culture, your home. I loved it and I'm deeply grateful for all that it gave me.

Although Covid restrictions were relaxed in France 2022 the school was closed but they matched us with two of their tutors for "one-on-one" sessions in Cannes; one tutor was working with me and the other with the kids (age 14 and 16). Tutoring was excellent and both tutors were highly adaptive to meet our respective needs. Being on-site in Cannes also allowed us to make detours in the city to interact in everyday situations which further enriched our experience. We've previously attended French courses both online and onsite (in Paris) but the tutors at "Passeport pour les langues - French Summer Classes" stand apart for their professionalism, highly recommended!

I started learning French here. I now speak fluent French. An amazing experience and memory.

Absolutely fantastic! Charles was super responsive and organised two superb professional teachers for my daughter and myself. The whole process was efficient, and the teachers dynamic and engaging. They came directly to our hotel as the school was closed due to Covid. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you

Due to the COVID-19 situation, our son couldn't travel to Cannes to join the French summer classes. Instruction is done via skype (France-USA). The teacher is very flexible, funny, follows the school teacher's instructions and suggestions; there is an excellent and interesting conversation on-going about current events. Despite being the only student with the teacher, our son is enjoying the classes. I hope to send him in person next year! Thank you very much to the administration and the teacher.

Thank you very much for hosting this excellent summer school.Apart from the great opportunity for my son to learn French, we are also grateful for having been introduced to both Cannes and Cannes La Bocca by the summer school. Now our summers wouldn’t be complete without spending some time there.
