Sandra found a good balance between helping me improve my overall French language skills and preparing specifically for FIDE Exam.

I had a great experience with regards to preparing for the French FIDE exam in Switzerland. I would especially like to thank Sandra, my professor! Her approach worked very well for me as she made sure I focus on learning by doing. She tailored the course material according to my needs. Sandra found a good balance between helping me improve my overall French language skills and preparing specifically for FIDE Exam. Thanks once again to Sandra and Prêt à Parler team!

I have tried other methods, but Prêt à Parler is the best!

I have tried other methods, but Prêt à Parler is the best! The programme and the material are engaging and the Super Profs are magnificent! Brice is absolutely brilliant! He has earned the title of being called a 'Super Prof'. He is knowledgeable, kind, charming, and patient and clearly, the student's stupidity does not phase him. He remains encouraging and supportive! I highly recommend improving your French online with Prêt à Parler. I passed A2 for Oral and B1 for Reading and Writing with the Exam Express Programme!

I can happily say that I achieved B1 for both the oral and written exam.

I would highly recommend Prêt à Parler, the whole team incredibly helpful and professional.

...and prepare me for the FIDE exam, which I took with confidence and passed on first try!

In just five Zoom sessions, my Super Prof was able to efficiently assess my starting level and development areas and prepare me for the FIDE exam, which I took with confidence and passed on first try. Beyond FIDE exam prep, I would recommend Prêt à Parler to all expats in the Swiss Romande region as learning the local language will improve your quality of life and reduce the number of daily moments and insights "lost in translation".

I was able to pass B1 level in both written and verbal communication, with very high scores!

Prêt à Parler exceeded all my expectations.

I decided to strengthen my French skills and got 5 classes of one-to-one coaching, before my Swiss FIDE exam. Aurore was my teacher. She was extremely attentive, listened to my needs, adjusted her style, and gave amazing tips & tricks for how to handle fide exams.

Thanks to outstanding Aurore's coaching, I was able to pass B1 level in both written and verbal communication, with very high scores! BIG THANKS to the full team, and highly recommended not only as a preparation for fide exams, but for overall improvement of French language skills.

My French improved considerably over the 4 months of lessons!

I would highly recommend Prêt à Parler for anyone wanting to learn or improve their French. It is an easy platform to use and being online, it is efficient for those that are time poor. The lessons were enjoyable and relatable to my life, whilst preparing me well for the FIDE exam. My French improved considerably over the 4 months of lessons and I'm please to say I achieved a result of B1 in both the oral and written components!

My Super Prof is simply a delight to work with!

I've had bad experiences with other teachers outside of Prêt à Parler who were not encouraging me to speak more. When mistakes were done, they were correcting with a demotivating manner. However my Super Prof is simply a delight to work with! He encourages me to speak up and when I make mistakes, he corrects them understandably, which motivates me to do better next time. He is simply amazing! Do not waste your precious family & work time with other institutions! PàP is the golden key to unlock your confidence and knowledge to speak French!

I recommend anyone to book a trial lesson with Prêt à Parler

I've attempted normal conversation groups, but never advanced. I wasn't sure if Prêt à Parler would be similar, but was happy to know it wasn't! My Super Prof Laurence is amazing. I really enjoy our time together. She's very patient and positive - we also have a lot of fun. I recommend anyone to book a trial lesson with Prêt à Parler, you have nothing to lose! Classes are very interactive covering grammar, reading, listening, and speaking.

They work with you in your own way

1-1 attention to learn a new language is extremely beneficial. They work with you in your own way, at your own pace. My Super Prof is very patient and flexible and is able to adapt easily depending on how I'm grasping something - or not!

My Super Prof Laurence is amazing

My Super Prof Laurence is amazing, and always so thoroughly well prepared. I cannot imagine a better learning platform than Prêt à Parler, or a better teacher.

I’m 100% happy with this service !

I started taking lessons with Prêt à Parler about 5 months ago and my French improved so much. My French teacher is so patient, friendly and knows exactly what I need from him to improve after carefully evaluating my weakest points when it comes to speaking French. I’m 100% happy with this service !!

It's worth it! I feel coached vs told what to do/say, and I don't feel stupid for making mistakes now, it's just part of the learning curve...PaP takes the formality out of learning, and makes it fun!

The perfect solution for busy people

Prêt à Parler offers the perfect solution for busy people as the class can be done at home or in the office, it's flexible and adapted to your needs!

I felt fully prepared for my FIDE exam which I passed with better grades than what I needed

I recommend Prêt à Parler to anyone who is thinking about taking French lessons. The fact that you can book your lessons online makes it super easy to be organised, especially when you are a busy working mom of 2. My french teacher was excellent - really kind, patient and encouraging. He went at an excellent pace and I felt fully prepared for my FIDE exam which I passed with better grades than what I needed. Isabelle is personable, professional and caring. Don't hesitate to book a language package with them.

Having attempted to learn French for countless times, I am glad to have finally found a system that works for me

I started my lessons with Prêt à Parler in the summer 2019; 6 months later, I successfully passed the Fide test with B1 in both oral (88%) and written (94%). The remote online lesson, to my positive surprise, is much more effective and focused than the other courses I had taken. The learning experience is engaging and personalized - thanks to my teacher, and this is supported by a small team who really cares and strives to make the experience better. I especially appreciate the flexibility in time scheduling, which I need due to my work and travel. Having attempted to learn French for countless times, I am glad to have finally found a system that works for me. Sincere and grand merci to my teacher and Isabelle / PàP team! Thank you for turning my French fear into a true pleasure!

Supportive team, helped me and worked around my dyslexia

I wouldn't hesitate to contact Prêt à Parler. The team is supportive, reactive to your needs and goals and the whole experience has been a pleasure. My teachers were great, the styles were different but I felt both have worked to help me and work around my dyslexia.

Prêt a Parler is exactly what I needed to move forward with my French

Go on and take the plunge! You will not regret it. Prêt a Parler is exactly what I needed to move forward with my French. All in all the perfect choice for me. My Super Prof was amazing!

My Super Prof was fantastic!

My Super Prof was fantastic! It is easy and accessible to use Prêt à Parler to learn French on your own time with a great professor, to build your confidence in speaking French. It has helped me a lot.

The approach of Prêt à Parler is very different than any other language program

This program will make all the difference! The approach of Prêt à Parler is very different than any other language program (and I’ve done quite a few!). You can shape the content to a great extent, while learning the language in a fun way. Daniella was a real pleasure! She understands how to give space for the student to choose topics of interest and also include the student’s background and personal stories to be fully engaged in the lesson.

Thanks to Prêt à Parler, I made great progress with regards to my French skills

I have been taking French lessons with Prêt à Parler and their great teachers since 2017. I moved smoothly from A1 to B2 level, and am now working to reach C1. Here is why I like working with Prêt à Parler:

• Online lessons: When I switched from offline to online, I was afraid that the lessons would become impersonal and less interesting, but I was absolutely wrong. Lessons are still one-to-one and real-time; nothing is lost neither in content nor in the flow of the lessons. Prêt à Parler uses a reliable technology and the connection is smooth. There are several benefits to online lessons: notes are available straight after; lessons can be recorded, etc. Best of all: location doesn't matter. One can be travelling for business or leisure and still continue the lessons. One hour is one hour, nothing less or more. One just needs to pop-up the laptop at the scheduled time and off we go!
• Instructors: Prêt à Parler's instructors not only have a high command of the French language, but they are also very friendly and have a wide variety of interest areas. During my lessons, we talk about many topics, from AI to politics, from environment to French cinema. In short, lessons are never boring, never limited to textbook conversations. I have also learned a great deal about French culture (food, music, wine, places to go, local customs, etc.)

To sum up, thanks to Prêt à Parler, I made great progress with regards to my French skills. I now find it much easier to integrate and feel like a local. Give it shot: nothing to lose, a lot to gain!

When I first met Isabelle, I was struck by her professionalism and no nonsense approach

I have done many different types of French courses before over the years and I often found them frustrating. Group sessions are often ineffective because there are always students who dominate the class and teachers often can't handle this effectively, meaning there is not much benefit to the rest of the class.

Individual classes also can be highly ineffective if they are not carefully structured and designed to lead to progress. When I first met Isabelle, I was struck by her professionalism and no nonsense approach and agreed to give her online classes through Prêt à Parler a try. After 2 months with one of her online teachers, I can honestly say that this is the best approach I've experienced to date. The classes take place using Zoom and you can do them at any time of the day wherever you are, which means there is no time wasted in getting to class, chatting to other students, etc. Every minute counts.

The teacher is very professional and uses a structured lesson plan - to help me focus on improving my business French. The classes have been very effective in improving my vocabulary, grammar and fluency in conversation. The system works very efficiently - the teacher takes notes online on a shared screen and you can view the lesson plan. In this way, the teacher takes all the notes and you receive a pdf with all the notes, as well as the video recording after each lesson. You also get set homework for the next course. Depending on your package, you get access to an online learning program of practical every day French to use in your own time. This is by far the most professional and effective French learning I've experienced in and outside of France, including some of the well-known language schools. I have no hesitation in recommending Prêt a Parler to anyone who is serious about learning to speak French.

I am very happy with Prêt à Parler

I am very happy with Prêt à Parler! I find everything so well organized and the systems in place very easy to use and manage (i.e. booking the classes and accessing to the files, webinars, etc.) I had originally contacted several private tutors and programs and none of them had a level of professionalism and organization that you have, which is something very important for me. As this type of learning is an investment, I want to get the most out of it and I really see your services and business in general as a valuable asset you should be very proud of!

My Super Prof is very professional, punctual, and explains things clearly. I feel super focused during my lesson. One hour goes by very fast, yet I feel like I learn more in that hour than I did previously in a 3-hour intensive classroom setting. It also helps that he takes notes on the documents themselves while I focus on the content of the lesson” It prevents me from being distracted and too busy taking notes. This to me is very valuable. Thank you! You have truly answered my needs of progressing with my French.
