French A-level Course in Biarritz

(22 lessons per week)
from only £249
!
This specifically devised course prepares British students to sit the A-level examination. It is an intensive exam-orientated course currently available in Biarrtiz, with 6-12 students per class to maximise students' performance. The main objective of the programme is to improve linguistic abilities, whilst concentrating on the techniques essential to the 'A' level exam in order to make the best use of students' knowledge under examination conditions. A great deal of emphasis is placed on oral participation through personal presentations and role-playing.

Biarritz 1 & 2 week courses now available August 1st / 8th / 15th / 22nd. Please note, our July revision courses are now sold out! We also have winter revision in Bordeaux.
Please email Laura for more info.

  :: Accommodation - host family or residence?


We constantly receive feedback from students who felt that staying with a
host family significantly improved their language learning and gave them a deeper cultural experience.

You can speak the language with your host family in the evenings, practice what you have learnt in class and perhaps even get help with homework! Usually two students per family means you feel more at ease.

The benefit of staying in a residence is that the whole group is together and so it is easier from a logistical point of view for trips etc.

"I loved the weekend outings to Nimes, Arles, Avignon etc. I got to see sights that were almost too spectacular to believe were real. My other favourite aspect of the programme was the people. I lived in the student dormitory, so I was constantly surrounded by other students, a number of whom I am still in touch with and count among my good friends."
