Jonathan Stewart
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.
Clair Mccann
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!
