The Oxford School of French - Oxford

I joined a B2/C1 weekly class for three terms and really enjoyed it. The 90-minute online format with a small group is great, fun and relaxed with plenty of opportunity for each of us to speak, without it feeling intense. Our tutor Ons was fabulous and led us through plenty of different and interesting activities - listening/reading comprehension, discussion and conversation, even some literary criticism, along with necessary grammar. We took it in terms to bring topics to speak to and then discuss. I certainly feel more confident speaking.

I spent a year learning French through OSF in preparation for a move to Canada, and it was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. Beyond some time spent with Duolingo, I joined with zero knowledge of the language

My tutor was encouraging and friendly, with our weekly evening sessions being something that I started to quickly look forward to. They were always easy to reorganise as needed, and we built up a friendship that helped to get the most success possible out of each lesson

I want to say thank you to the other staff I've worked with here, they were always friendly and prompt with responses, clearly taking an interest in my eventual destination

In short, it's clear that everyone here cares about the students that enroll, and want the best for them in their journey. They've given me the ability to pick up a book in a second language, or to have conversations with people in their own (with a lot of umm'ing and arr'ing in my part!). I can't thank nor recommend them enough for that 🙂

I will always be grateful for my time at the Oxford School of French which I enjoyed very much.
It was a very enriching experience where tutors and students thrive. From a tutor perspective I thought it very rewarding to see students progressing but also truly enjoyable to teach students who were really involved and motivated.
The Oxford School of French provides the ideal environment for all types of levels because the teaching you will receive will be tailored to your needs.
I am convinced the Oxford School of French will be successful for many years to come as the teaching techniques are originals effectives and truly enhance all the richness of the French language.

I have been learning with the Oxford School of French for years and my experience has always been great. I am very happy with the admin work and with my current tutor, Ons. All the tutors I have had, have been wonderful.

From a tutor's perspective, teaching at Oxford School of French is quite satisfactory: the school offers the right balance between accompanying its tutors when they need guidance or advice, and leaving them the freedom to teach the way they think is going to be relevant to the students they know. The fact that the school takes at heart to keep the number of students in a class to a minimum, and that private tutorials are also a norm enables me to adapt my classes to my students, and offer a personalized teaching experience. I feel free to explore different approaches to French lessons with my students based on their expectations, but I also feel like I am not alone. I think the students feel that touch and enjoy having a teacher that knows them and creates the right class to answer their needs.

I have been attending weekly classes with the Oxford School of French for about 6 years. Since the pandemic the lessons are all online and that works really well. I have had the same teacher for about 4 years and he is brilliant! However if we ever need to have a different teacher for a week or two, they are always excellent too. The lessons are well prepared and always at an appropriate level. They are a good balance of conversation, text book and grammar. My French has improved from virtually nothing to the ability to have a reasonable conversation about current affairs. I would recommend the Oxford School of French without hesitation

A great place to learn. I was uncertain of what to expect when I started classes but I’ve had such a fantastic experience. The small classes have been great to work in and I’ve felt like that’s enabled my learning. The tutor of my class has also been really great and so helpful. Overall I’m really happy with my time learning at The Oxford School of French.
