What Our Clients Say
Alexandre Jourdan (Ancien élève particulier d'anglais):
"J’ai commencé ma formation en février 2024 avec un niveau A2 au test d’évaluation. Six mois plus tard, à ma grande surprise, j’ai atteint un niveau B2 au test English 360° !
Ma professeure, Tamara, originaire d’Australie, a su me mettre en confiance grâce à son écoute attentive. L’analyse des vidéos TED Talks m’a permis d’améliorer mon anglais tout en enrichissant mes connaissances.
Je recommande vivement cette formation !"
