Testimonials
Real comments from students and parents who have worked with Nolwenn.
“My daughter, now at Exeter University reading French, and my son, now in Year 13, each started with Nolwenn when they entered Year 7. Between them, they have 14 years of experience with Nolwenn. I think that in itself is sufficient recommendation! More than one of my daughter's university tutors have remarked on the quality of her accent, and she has received excellent all-round marks for her French language. My son recently received his AS results, and his highest marks were for French.”
“The convenience of Skype/online lessons and Nolwenn's excellent teaching skills have been a perfect combination for me. Nolwenn's supportive approach enables a comfortable learning environment and ensures she gets the best out of you. I have been learning French with Nolwenn for the past 3 years and I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“I came to Nolwenn as an adult learner who, not having tried particularly hard with my French at school, now wanted to improve my French for pleasure. Nolwenn has a lovely relaxed manner in her telephone lessons which put me at my ease almost immediately. She is very encouraging and supportive and also has a way of making the lessons fun. Her service is excellent and very professional.”
“I started learning French with Nolwenn from the age of 8 and continued my sessions with her all the way to my GCSEs and A-levels. It was a fun and memorable experience. Thanks to Nolwenn’s consistent support I achieved high grades in my French exams. She is a patient and motivating teacher who was genuinely concerned about my progress.”
“Nolwenn is an exceptionally dedicated French teacher, with a well-crafted methodology for successful online teaching. She tutored my son weekly for a whole year for his IGCSE and applied a systematic approach that helped him grow massively in understanding and confidence. She also provided excellent tactical advice for exam preparation. The result was extremely pleasing: my son achieved a high A* in his IGCSE French exam.”
