EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed a 5-day French immersion with Anne-Elizabeth and it exceeded my expectations! It was truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! From the moment she picked me up at the airport, we spoke only French. And even though I was SO nervous at first, after having spent so many years out of practice, she was patient and kind and corrected me all along the way. She really helped to build my confidence in the language. Our morning lessons were centered around real conversation — sharing my story, discussing what I did during my free time. Through our conversations, she identified mistakes I was making and areas of improvement, and she corrected me in real time, and then built lessons around that. She’s a wonderful teacher. What really stood out was her warmth and hospitality. Lunches with her and her husband were so enjoyable, and she also took me around to show me parts of town. One day we went hiking, which was one of my favorite memories of the week! I arrived nervous, but I left with confidence and a much stronger grasp of the language. I’m very grateful for this experience and highly recommend it!!! Even if you’re nervous, or this is completely out of your comfort zone, do it! You won’t regret it!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did my first French emersion experience with Anne-Elizabeth, and I am so glad that I did. My confidence to speak, and ability to engage in conversations has improved greatly under her guidance. I found Anne-Elizabeth quickly worked out what I needed to focus on and how I learn, she was flexible with her teaching style -in all a great teacher. I will always treasure the memories of sharing meals with her family on the garden terrace. And both Michel and Anne-Elizabeth did all they could to make my stay a great experience. Thank you to them all for a great time. I wish I could have stayed longer! - from Australia.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J'ai trouvé l'immersion française très utile. J'ai appris à étudier plus efficacement. C'était un programme de la langue et de la culture françaises. C'est un excellent programme. La maison est très proche du tramway. J'ai pu visiter Montpellier beaucoup plus facilement. J'ai aussi apprécié visiter certains villages proches. Anne-Élisabethe et son mari m'ont fait sentir comme à la maison. La nourriture était également excellente. Son mari est un excellent cuisinier. MERCI BEAUCOUP Nasrin Juin 2025Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent 1 week with Anne-Elisabeth and I wish we could stay longer! I believe that I really profited by having time there. I liked the style - we were doing lots of exercises, listening to texts and then commenting on the context, answering questions and discussing relevant issues that arose in the course of the exercise. We discussed many tricky (for me) issues that I came across before and could not work out the answers to myself. I learnt a lot, in my opinion that hopefully will form a solid base for my future efforts. Last but not least - Anne-Elisabeth has a great cook for a husband and lunches prepared by him we're a real treat and sometimes a great show when it happened to be a "flambé" dish! We also had a couple of great trips that I am always looking forward to as I am a Francophile and the area around Montpelier is great to visit. When it is done in great company is a real treat! I and my partner, (who did not learn French) we had a great time and we are very thankful to Anne-Elisabeth for this time. Maria and PhilPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I were searching for a school in the Montpelier area where we could improve our French grammar, comprehension and speaking ability. We were fortunate to find Anne-Elizabeth (The French Language Coach). She and her husband, Michel live in Castelnau-le-Lez/Montpellier, just a two minute walk to a short tram ride to the Place de la Comédie/center of Montpellier. We took immersion classes with her over a two week period and greatly improved our French speaking ability. Anne-Elizabeth clearly explains grammatical nuances and patiently corrects French pronunciation. She emphasizes everyday phrases and promotes conversation so that the experience is totally interactive. She identified our weaknesses and focused on correcting them. Anne-Elizabeth is an excellent teacher - knowledgeable, diligent and extremely capable. She and Michel (a great cook) are a delightful couple and we became good friends over our meals and conversations together. My husband and I highly recommend Anne-Elizabeth and hope to return next year. Mary and Ray San Diego CAPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Anne-Elisabeth in Montpellier echoes the other Google reviewers and was most enjoyable. Anne-Elisabeth is a patient and thorough teacher, with a variety of teaching materials to create interest. Her house is located a short tram ride from the city centre. She and Michel are easy and interesting company , making the highlight of my stay our dinners together and the conversation that resulted. Michel and Anne-Elisabeth both contributed to the preparation of very tasty meals. There is much to do and see in the Montpellier area, not least the beautiful city centre blending old and new architectural styles. Our excursions to Maguelone and Aigues Mortes were stimulating and historically fascinating. In summary I would not hesitate to recommend Anne-Elisabeth’s Immersion Stay.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed my stay with Anne-Elisabeth and Michel earlier this month. Anne-Elisabeth is an excellent teacher and she and her husband Michel are very hospitable and made me feel very welcome. Montpellier is a beautiful city to visit and it is easy to get around using the tram system.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just finished a great week of French immersion with Anne-Elizabeth. She is an excellent teacher. At the end of our week together my French was most definitely improved. She and her husband Michel are superb hosts and I felt like I was part of the family. I strongly recommend doing immersion with Anne-ElizabethPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve tried French immersion classes before, but for my wife and me, our two weeks with Anne-Elisabeth were the best—more immersion, more tailored learning, more fun, more effective. It wasn’t just the lessons; each day included Michel’s wonderful multi-course French meals, and accompanying conversations, and we learned as well when they guided us on afternoon expeditions. Learning time merged with fun time, as we enjoyed our hosts’ friendship. On our own trips to Montpellier and Castelnau-le-Lez, we spoke French with confidence, using Anne-Elisabeth’s tips and stock phrases, and, of course, her many reminders about gender, tenses, pronunciations, and customs. We heartily recommend this program.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Je pense que vous êtes un professeur excellent et exubérant et j'ai apprécié passer du temps avec vous. . Vous êtes particulièrement sensible aux besoins des élèves pour faire la transition subtile vers le français parlé. I would recommend Anne-Elizabeth.

In addition you will enjoy sharing some meals with her and her husband Michel.The situation is casual and the atmosphere extremely convivial.
