I am thoroughly enjoying my experience with French Toast. I have my weekly lesson with Judith who is an excellent teacher and it’s something I really look forward to. I have learned so much over the course of my lessons with Judith which has really helped me deal with some quite complex conversations whilst in France.
Debbie Kelly
I have been learning French now for several years with Judith from French Toast. She is very professional, patient and tailors the lessons to my exact needs. I have been trying to learn French for many years and have never progressed this far with any other teacher. I would highly recommend French Toast for their outstanding service and for helping me to achieve my goal. They offer great value for money too! Do not hesitate to contact them if you want to learn a language at your own pace.

I’ve loved learning with French Toast. My tutor, Yas, is wonderful and I look forward to our weekly lessons. I have never done French (not even at school) so I knew nothing, and I’m now translating small paragraphs in present, past and future tenses! I also think it’s really affordable for private tutoring and Yas has been super flexible with timings of lessons etc. So yeah, I would highly recommend them!
Amy Lee
I first started taking lessons through French Toast a number of years ago and had some great experiences meeting the community in person and online. Now having 1:1 weekly tutoring with Yas and couldn’t recommend it more.
Victoria Chetley
I’ve been having lessons with my French Toast tutor Céline for two months now and absolutely love it. I spoke with Nichola who listened to my needs and found me a tutor who could tailor my learning to match these. The admin & payment process is really easy and I’m especially looking forward to the in person meet ups and being able to connect with other French learners. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for conversational learning that also gives you a solid foundation in the language.

French Toast is absolutely wonderful! Nichola is an amazing teacher and makes the lessons fun and engaging. I couldn’t recommend french toast anymore! You need to go! And there’s also language retreats that Nichola organises abroad, which I’ve never seen before and she make it so easy to book on!
Duncan Struthers
Lessons with Nichola are always fun, friendly, relaxed and engaging. You can see how much preparation goes into them and we get a huge amount out of them. I learnt French most of my school years but was never a natural linguist – I’d learnt more from Nichola in the first 6 months than all those lessons at school. Wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend French Toast.
Sally Barker
I have experienced such a great course of 10 lessons with Judith. She is incredibly patient and has quickly assessed my level of knowledge. She has adapted the lessons accordingly and goes at exactly the right pace. I have really enjoyed working with Judith – she is friendly, engaging and professional. Thank you French Toast – I can’t recommend you enough!!
Sarah Hammersley
We wanted to learn some French for our holiday & the learning environment provided by French Toast was perfect for us. Nichola helped us work towards our goal & used a variety of fun & engaging learning activities to really bring the language to life & help us learn it in a practical way. Feeling confident to speak a spot of French when we’re away & hoping to join in with some of the conversation socials when we’re back. Thanks again Nichola!
Do I need any previous experience to start?
Not at all. We work with complete beginners through to advanced speakers. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your level and match you with a tutor who suits you perfectly.
How are the lessons structured?
Lessons are 1:1, online, and conversation-based. Rather than following a rigid syllabus, sessions are shaped around your goals, interests, and chosen learning package – helping you use French naturally from day one.
All our tutors are experienced, native French speakers who specialise in teaching adults. They’re friendly, supportive, and focused on helping you build confidence – not correcting every mistake.
For rapid progress we recommend 2hrs per week. For slower progress or maintenance 1hr per week is recommended. Our intensive French courses are completely bespoke but tend to be around 12hrs of French tuition per week with specific goals and outcomes.
Do I need to have the same slot every week?
We find that consistency is key when learning French so we do recommend you try to stick to the same slot for your French lesson each week. We require at least 24hrs notice if you need to cancel a lesson.
Do I need to buy a course upfront?
No. We offer pay-as-you-go options, so there’s no need for large upfront payments. You only pay for the lessons you book.
What if I’m nervous about speaking French?
That’s completely normal and very common. Our lessons are relaxed, informal, and supportive. There’s no pressure to be perfect; the focus is on building confidence through conversation.
All lessons take place online. You’ll just need a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and somewhere comfortable to chat.
You’ll have access to a personalised online dashboard where you can view upcoming lessons, manage bookings, make payments, and track your progress over time.
Simply book a free consultation call or get in touch via email at bonjour@frenchtoastlessons.com. We’ll talk through your goals and recommend the best next steps.
