Beginners
Weekend Course (December, 2007)
“Really
enjoyed the weekend, would definitely come back. I surprised myself with
what I have learned and look forward to using French at work and in the
future. You are a very friendly and welcoming family and thanks for letting
me cook! I
enjoyed the market activity and it made more confident in talking to
real French people"
(Miss
S, from Kent)
"Cathy
is very informative and helpful during the lessons. The lessons are
conducted in a very pleasant atmosphere. The market activity was a good
idea to build confidence and communication with real people in real
situations, enabling us to assess how we are progressing. The final
extra day was very worthwhile. Thank you" (Mr W, from Yorkshire)
Intermediate
Weekend Course (November, 2007)
“Thank
you so much for such a positive experience and for all your
encouragement and patience. Thank you also, Cathy and Howard, for the lovely
lunches, tea and coffee and for arranging places for us to eat in the
evening. It has been a most enjoyable experience. The course was well
managed, met all my expectations and I feel that I have benefited from
it" (Mrs C, from Worcester)
"The
opportunity to have a one-to-one conversation with a local resident was extremely
enjoyable and a real boost to my confidence. We covered a wide
range of topics from family and occupations, hobbies, local amenities,
medical matters to gardening and compost heaps!" (Mrs C, from Worcester)
"A
very friendly and welcoming environment, with relaxed classes which were
both fun and beneficial. The chance to mingle with local people was
an added bonus. Excellent value and I'm sure my French improved!
The
course improved my confidence and revived some vocabulary and grammar
which hadn't been used for many years! See you again one day? (Mrs H, from Wales).
"I
thought that the course was very good and we were extremely well looked
after"
(Mrs O, from Yorkshire)
College
Inspection (observation)
“Catherine
is an excellent teacher, she has a natural gift for teaching her subject
and I found this to be one of the most encouraging and enjoyable lessons
that I have attended since becoming the Language Coordinator for the
College adult education department.
Her lesson was so good that it could
be used as a demonstration model for new teachers of Modern Languages in
Adult Education”
(Bill
Asbury, Language Coordinator, Skelmersdale College)
College
Inspection (observation)
“The
lesson had lots of activity throughout, teacher diverting skillfully
from the front, excellent working atmosphere – purposeful but fun –
sense of security with everyone comfortable to contribute. French used
exclusively for most of session; some explanation in English when deemed
necessary. Very impressive lesson!”
(Kevin
Watson, Principal,
Winstanley College)
