Testimonials:
Kerry Wilson, (USA), February 2019:
Natacha is a friendly, kind and considerate teacher. She was patiently attentive from the moment we first met. I can say that teaching comes naturally to her and her calm attentive presence makes learning fun and easy. She is clearly knowledgeable of French grammar and teaches it in fun ways. The inhibition I felt to speak French disappeared quite quickly.
The cheerful, warm and light atmosphere of the house makes it an extremely comfortable place for learning. The food she prepared was delicious and the time spent learning to cook with her was enjoyable.
The learning activities Natacha prepared for me were purposeful, creative and super fun! Her assessment of my language level was accurate and she observed skillfully when it was a good time to give me a break!
I am grateful to Natacha for helping me break through some barriers to understanding and speaking correctly in French. For anyone wishing to improve confidence and skill in speaking French I can highly recommend doing a French immersion course with Natacha.
Sandra Leiteritz (Germany), april 2019:
I loved my time with Natacha! In this one week that I stayed with her in her beautiful home I’ve learned truly a lot!
When I came I was pretty much scared of saying anything in French. With her help I discovered what I’m actually capable of. I’ve learned that it is possible to speak about many things even with a small vocabulary and I’ve surprised myself again and again.
I experienced Natacha as a very good teacher with a deep understanding of the learning process. Her teaching style is VERY creative, gentle and much fun. I’ve felt very supported and seen with my individual needs and was impressed by her patience and empathy.
As a conclusion I can say that I’m happy that I gifted myself this French Immersion with Natacha!
It was an intense and beautiful experience. Also challenging and very rewarding! I left her home inspired and very proud of my progress : )

Suzy, United Kingdom, octobre 2019 :
I recently spent 10 days “en séjour linguistique” with Natacha and her warm welcome meant I felt at home right from the start. Natacha has a charming home in a small hamlet surrounded by nature but with plenty of cultural excursions close at hand. Natacha’s pride in her region is matched by her enthusiasm for finding things to interest you and all the while she will be helping you to improve and develop your French in a very relaxed atmosphere.
If you would like to improve your French in a stunning natural setting and to experience the fascinating history and the rich and diverse culture of one of the lesser know regions of France with a warm, patient and enthusiastic teacher to guide you, then you will have a wonderful experience.
