Sophie Marette (formerly) Voulez-vous Parler

I studied French language with Voulez-Vous Parler Ltd, from approximately 2004-2007, to improve my conversational French. I worked directly with owner and founder, Sophie Marette - she's professional, patient, and experienced. Studying with Sophie and VVP gave me the confidence to speak and read French. I even managed to relocate to and live in a small village in the French Alps for 4 months, where I could converse in French with confidence!

My company booked lessons through Voulez-vous Parler for myself and some colleagues. The teachers are very good and their rates are competitive. I'd certainly recommend them.

If you are looking for very dedicated, timely and patient French teachers then this will be it. I have done classes before with other companies (in other languages) and this is by far the best (and best value for money) service. Alix

Sophie is an excellent translator, precise, quick, friendly and very reliable who always goes that extra mile to satisfy her customers. We recommend and will use her services again without hesitating.

I Have used Voulez-vous parler''s services for my daughter in GCSE and A level and she got A. I am very proud on my daughter but all credit goes to Sophie Marette.She is very professional and flexible.will not hesitate to recommend her.Thanks again Sophie.

Cool French native teacher, very friendly and efficient who gave lessons to a friend of mine, so I got in touch as I wanted to brush up my German. The company boss was very helpful and sent me a teacher that helped me ressucitate my long forgotten german vocabulary!!

First class, tuition. I have loved working with Sophie. At school I found languages difficult to learn, but with Sophie I gained confidence as she could easily break down concepts and answer all my queries.I would recommend her, to any enthusiastic, self-directed learner.

I chatted in French with Sophie for the best part of 2 years; the sessions were less of a feeling of 'lessons', more like I was taking part in real conversations and actually progressing in the language. They built my confidence hugely and I looked forward to the next one. I would recommend this friendly and efficient service.

After I retired, I decided that the time had come to do something about my vaguely remembered O level French. I was not looking to gain a formal qualification. I wanted to concentrate on the spoken language so that I could fully appreciate French theatre and politics. Sophie turned out to be ideal. She has been very flexible in responding to my interests and preferred ways of learning, while, of course, ensuring that I know the underpinning grammar. I have been having classes with her for 6 years. I feel very confident whenever I go France and am a regular visitor to the Paris theatres. I highly recommend her.
