The theatre in Angers, my native city.



I have been learning with Viviane by Skype for the last several years. I really enjoy her conversational approach that gets you speaking from the beginning, along with target exercises for revision. 
With her help I have improved greatly my speaking, as well as my knowledge of the French culture, and always look forward to my classes for the interesting discussions and conversations we have. I would strongly recommend Viviane to any student of the French language. Paul Roberts Terrigal

"Viviane has been my French teacher for several years and I have always found her classes very enjoyable and her teaching methods clear and concise.  Her use of song poetry and literature in our lessons has shown me so much of the beauty and nuance of the French language. .  
 Our discussions of French news, politics, lifestyle, interesting people and places etc. are lively and stimulating.  The “quirks” of French grammar have even started to sink into my stubborn brain due to Viviane’s patience and clear explanations.I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn French."     
 Gwenda Hall,  Forresters Beach, N.S.W.

We found Viviane's classes fun, relaxed and very beneficial. We were surprised by how much progress we made in a relatively short space of time (even though I had never learnt a language before, and my wife hadn't spoken French for over 35 years).

With our lessons having had a focus on real-life situations, once in Paris, we found we could order meals, ask directions and even have some basic conversations. This made our trip more rewarding and we are so glad we decided to take these classes!

The lessons are really enjoyable and entertaining. They have included practical exercises, dialogues, music, and lots of interesting information about life in France.

"I have been learning French for several years and for the past 5 years Viviane has been my teacher.  Her class is always fun. Viviane is passionate about what she does and knows how to teach.  
The classes are always well prepared with the subject matter interesting and varied. Viviane includes French grammar in her class and is able to explain the nuances of the French language, providing the logic, which for me makes learning French easier. Viviane is always encouraging and keeps students involved in class activities while also recognising the needs of individuals.
I am delighted to recommend Viviane to anyone who wishes to speak the French language. I consider The Central Coast very lucky to have her." Janet Slight. Saratoga.  NSW.
