What our guests say

“Séverine is a wonderful, committed, experienced and sympathetic teacher. She taught me for ten years in England; her teaching was rigorous but also fun. One of Séverine’s strengths is managing class dynamics, so everyone has the opportunity to participate. Eleven out of 10!”

“Séverine is an exceptional teacher and gets 10/10 from me. Not a single lesson went by without laughter and fun. Séverine is universally positive and brings out the best in her students. We all love her. An intensive by the Dordogne was the perfect way to spend a few days in France.”
