What did our students say about our French summer courses?

I was very satisfied with my experience. The teachers took into consideration what I wanted to learn and incorporated my learning needs into the class curriculum. Small class sizes provided good opportunity for discussion. The School’s Director listened to my concerns and made adjustments to accommodate my learning needs. My host family provided wonderful meals and excellent conversational opportunities. Overall, this was a great experience and I would strongly recommend the school!

Stephanie, French immersion teacher from Nova Scotia, CanadaFrench summer courses for adults and homestay program

C’était une expérience géniale, qui a dépassé toutes mes attentes. Les leçons étaient très intéressantes et structurées. J’ai beaucoup apprécié mes professeurs et la manière de nous mettre au défi pour nous faire apprendre plus et progresser. Ma famille d’accueil était formidable et amicale. Merci encore une fois d’avoir tout organisé pour moi. Amicalement.

Astrid, de Diemen, HollandFrench summer courses for adults

Many thanks for this class – it a was very inspiring experience. I took this class as a beginner, without any understanding of French – not even one phrase. I had an amazing surprise, that after one month I became able to read simple text and understand conversations. It’s great! Our teacher Madina – is fantastic! Parfait très, très bien!

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!

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.
