Testimonials
What our learners say
« The trainer is an excellent teacher who understood what I was looking for and adapted her lessons to my needs. She has me listen to videos related to the insurance industry, which is exactly what I wanted as it allows me to learn professional vocabulary useful for my job. I truly feel that these lessons are making a real difference! »
« The trainer is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She is always in a good mood and funny. She makes you want to learn English and improve. The richness of the programme, the quality and diversity of the teachers... Excellent training. »
« Great responsiveness from the trainers, quality of the training and availability of each trainer, along with their good humour. My trainer is brilliant and made me forget I was speaking English (incredible). »
« The trainer's teaching method is top-notch (lots of verbal exchanges, PowerPoints very much in line with our profession...). In short, very interesting and dynamic lessons. Very friendly and very attentive to her students... I really appreciated her teaching method and I believe I have made great progress thanks to it. »
« I appreciated the interaction with the trainer. The balance between conversation and grammar exercises. The explanation of turns of phrase and the use of words in context. Conversation on varied topics allowing vocabulary development. »
« Excellent trainers: they build confidence, encourage, give lots of valuable advice for working outside of lessons, know how to spot grammar problems and explain the rules. I really enjoyed this face-to-face training and have decided to start a new session because I know I am making good progress. »
« The teachers are warm and do not hesitate to get us involved; they put students at ease and help us develop our self-confidence. The diversity and richness that the teachers bring, coming from all over the world, is refreshing. It was a great experience. »
« The diversity of the trainers (accents, personalities, approaches). Despite some initial apprehension, they quickly put you at ease and encourage you to participate and therefore to progress. »
« The fact that there are teachers from different backgrounds, some of whom are not native English speakers. The methods of each were different and, in my view, complemented each other perfectly. Why change a method that works? As far as I am concerned, I am very satisfied and I recommend Linguaphone. »
« The trainer was very attentive, knew how to put us at ease, and offered exercises in varied and relevant formats related to our professional area of expertise. The video-based training did not disrupt the course at all... on the contrary, it was much simpler to manage that way. »
« The human and pedagogical qualities of the trainers. My trainer knew how to find topics and discussion angles to encourage my oral participation. Thanks to his great open-mindedness, we were able to cover a wide range of subjects, thus promoting the use of various types of expressions and vocabulary. Thank you so much for these fruitful and fine meetings! That was such a pleasure! »
« I really appreciated my trainer's teaching approach and his ability to adapt to my expectations: focusing on discussion, listing grammar points to review at the end of each lesson so I could work on them at home. The lessons were nothing like school and felt more like friendly exchanges on diverse and varied topics. »
« I had a negative view of group training, but after this first session, I completely changed my mind. The trainer knew how to put me at ease when speaking English. »
« The opportunity to practise the language without constraint. The trainers are open and put you at ease whilst correcting mistakes and awkward phrasing. I really like the Gymglish tool — very useful and practical; the difficulty increases gradually and the daily rhythm works very well. »
« The trainer is patient, a great educator, cultured and open-minded. He adapts and yet gives me the feeling that I am making progress, which encourages me. I always look forward to the next training session. »
