“I’m delighted to have found Speak Frog. I’ve been studying French for a few years but had some difficulty speaking the language. Thanks to Leonor, I’m now much more confident and better able to express myself in French. On a recent trip to France I really noticed the difference that my Speak Frog classes had made”.

“I have found Leonor to be an excellent teacher. Each class is specially planned and tailored to my ability and interests. I am already an intermediate French speaker and she has enabled me to hone my existing skills and broaden my vocabulary. My confidence speaking French has grown a great deal and she is always able to direct me to helpful resources to expand my exposure to French. I would certainly recommend her!”

“Leonor is an excellent teacher. She keeps lessons lively and is incredibly rigorous. At times it I have felt like I have been learning an overwhelming amount but Leonor knows what she is doing and as we have continued it has all started to slot into place. Leonor’s lessons are challenging but she has a great sense of humour and makes sure they are also fun. Having muddled along with a rudimentary level of French for a number of years I now feel I am starting to make progress. Thanks Leonor”.

French classes with Leonor are a great way to get the basics in place and set you up for actually speaking the language. Leonor is a very clear teacher and the classes are well structured. I recommend this method if you prefer not to be stuck with your head in text books after a day at work, and just want to practice and get on with speaking”.

“Leonor was employed for six months to enable our son to speak, read and write French fluently and confidently to the required standard. Our son succeeded with flying colours. Leonor is an honest, hard-working and thorough tutor, who always plans her lessons well and takes her work very seriously. She is a delightful young woman, kind and caring. We have no hesitation in recommending her”.
