OK, so it's taken me ages to get round to writing this review AND I've written reams, BUT I'll make it worth your time to read :).This is a fantastic place to learn a language - I have been going to lessons with Sophie for French for a few years now and I can say that my facility with the language has come on leaps and bounds. As an older student with some prior experience I was never after a standard lesson learning grammar etc (although should you want this then Sophie can absolutely do this). I was after learning French idioms and learning how to speak in a more natural way. Sophie was able to adapt to this request easily and we have such a great time with me trying to talk on any number of subjects in a much more conversational style - and making some truly exceptional gaffes to boot. Sophie has provided many links to interesting topics, photocopies of French magazines and papers, and even sending me occasional idiomatic phrases by text as they occur to her.Short of actually living in the country, I cannot think of a better way to learn a language. I don't think I'll ever pass for French :), but I do feel far more confident in both listening and speaking since attending lessons. And I feel I continue to learn all the time. Can't recommend the school, and Sophie in particular, enough. If you truly want to learn, call them. You will not regret it. I can keep up with some of the French series, films and radio without being completely lost now :).As a final note I should also add that Sophie has managed to keep the lessons going over Zoom for the duration of the lockdowns, and although I do prefer actually being there in person, Sophie is very skilled at making you feel right at home on Zoom. She uses the online tools well, using them to enhance the lessons with whiteboards and slide sharing etc. To anyone who does worry about this style of teaching, I would urge you to give it a go - Sophie is a whizz at putting you at your ease. You will have a really good time and come out of each lesson with a real sense of accomplishment.
