Best French Schools Amsterdam Near Me

4worldlovers: Celine is an exceptional French teacher! My children had the fortune of having her as their teacher, and she has made a lasting impression on them. Despite their lack of enthusiasm for having to work overtime, Celine quickly won them over with her engaging and interactive teaching style. What sets Celine apart is her ability to understand her students' needs and keep them on track while building a personal connection with each of them. Not only did she help my children excel in French, but she also taught them valuable skills that have made them better students in their other subjects. My children are now in University and still keep in touch with Celine, which speaks to her positive impact on their lives.

“These classes are a bright spot in my week! I was searching for the right French course for a while. There are a few options in town, but I easily chose L'école de français given the instructors' responsiveness and the many class options. The teachers are organized and well-prepared, and they keep the classes very engaging (even online!). At level b2, I thought I already knew a lot - I was wrong I'm learning something new by the minute. Overall, great value and can recommend!”
