Géraldine Ducoin

As the founder of Laffitte Languages, I have been teaching French for 25 years to both schools pupils for gcse’s, A-Levels, IB and corporateS.

In 1992 I took a one year intensive training course with Valetti school to become a professional French teacher and quickly joined Brunner Interlingua in London. My corporate clients have included M&S, The Independent newspaper, Royal Mail, British Gas and Nomura, covering clients with different levels of French and different objectives.

In 1998, I moved back to to Paris with my family and joined Armstrong Languages, teaching corporate clients as well and assisting the director with the office work. Later, I have taken a specialized course in teaching French as a foreign Language for children and young people with the Alliance Française in Paris and have been running Laffitte Languages providing intensive courses in the Loire or in Lille during the holidays or half term or online through the year for children preparing for their GCSE’s, A-Levels, IB aswell or Adults.

We know that arranging a French Exchange can require a leap of faith; they are often a bit of a lottery. At Laffitte Languages you can rest assured that your child will be happy, safe and well looked after. My personal engagement is to support your child throughout his or her stay with us:

• I will personally pick up your child from the station or from the airport.

• I will follow your child’s progress daily and maintain contact with the family.

• Each sports teacher has been vetted, tried and approved.

• I will personally take and pick up your child to and from their lessons.

• And, of course I will be your child's French teacher!
