We aim to ensure that every student gets the best language training they can get with the amount they are willing to invest in it. Our French language courses can be conducted in groups to save on costs, or 1 to 1 directly with the teacher.

Those on 1:1 French language courses naturally see a faster progression in their French speaking skills as the tutors can tailor the sessions to their needs. With group sessions we recommend no more than 6 learners as with groups any larger than this it is harder for the group member to get the one-on-one support they need.

Our French courses are designed to be flexible. Lessons can be carried out in your workplace anywhere in the UK, such as Manchester and Birmingham or at our dedicated training centre in the heart of London. Individuals who sign up for our one-to-one courses may also prefer to arrange for their trainer to visit them at home, or conduct their lessons online via Skype. This option is available from 8am to 6pm on Monday to Friday, with weekends also available on request and negotiation with the tutor.

There is an option for intensive courses for speedy learning as well, which entail a 30 hour week of 6 hours each day from Monday to Friday.

Learning a language is a building process. You have to start at the bottom, gaining a basic understanding of pronunciation, grammar and common phrases. Once these fundamentals are in place you can begin expanding your knowledge and proficiency. French language training is certainly no different. The native language trainers at SIMON & SIMON can help you through each step of the process, and provide you with expert advice and support, as well as professional tuition throughout your French language course.

By working closely with our native French teachers and our multi-lingual and helpful Account Managers, you can create a plan that will help you to achieve your language goals.

We start with a pre-course French assessment, so we understand your level before designing your bespoke plan. We also get a comprehensive knowledge of what your business is about so that we know whether you are looking for business language or conversational language.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions across the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their French language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise French in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.
