Testimonials
“I started lessons with Magali before my FIDE exam and it was the single most helpful thing I could have done. Magali is a great teacher and focuses on real, practical French. She also knew the exam format very well and provided me with the perfect preparation material. I exceeded my expectations in the FIDE exam and it's definitely down to these lessons. Highly recommend.”
Alex N. - Switzerland“Magali is a true teacher. She is patient, she encourages questions, she is ever willing to find a new way of explaining the same thing (no matter how many times!!) until it clicks for you. After nearly two years I am still excited at learning French, and it is thanks to her!!”
Celia F. – London “Magali coached me for the DELF B2 exam (French university entrance) for over a year. She pushed me hard but at the same time was very considerate. Her discipline paid off, I got 85.5% for the exam, including 100% for two of the four exam components. I would recommend her to anyone and will come back to her if I decide to take the next level.”
C. B. – London “Magali is an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher who finds interesting topics to discuss every week in class. She has a sympathetic manner when it comes to correcting mistakes and understands the need to go back and revise points of grammar and vocabulary to achieve real and lasting improvement. I would recommend her.”
Jane M. - London“Magali has provided brilliant weekly online tutoring for one-on-one intermediate French. She is a great teacher. Well-structured lessons that make learning very easy. Feel I’m making progress and really enjoying it.”
H. – London “I have been having online French lessons with Magali for about a year now and I love them. Magali is extremely professional and friendly. She took the time during our initial discussion to understand exactly what my goals were and then tailored our lessons accordingly.
Initially, I started tutoring with Magali as I live in Switzerland and needed to pass my FIDE exam for the 5-year renewal of my resident’s permit. Magali prepared me excellently for the exam and I exceeded my expectations with the results. Now that I have passed my exam, Magali focuses her lessons on topics that will help me in everyday life and in my job (I have many French speaking colleagues).
Each lesson is thoughtfully planned and delivered to ensure continued progression. I value Magali’s teaching style in which we practise concepts and then towards the end of the lesson she tests me on new vocabulary/ phrases/ grammar.
I highly recommend Magali as an online French tutor.”
Sarah C. – Switzerland“I've been going to Magali's advanced French conversation classes for many years. She is one of the best teachers I have come across.

Bridget - London“Magali tutored me for the Swiss FIDE exam and without doubt it was her support that enabled me to get B1 level. I really appreciated her tailored approach that helped to build my confidence - this included practical advice for the exam and focused exercises that were great preparation. Additionally the French that I learnt is now being put to good use in my daily life in Switzerland.”
Tim C. - Switzerland“Magali has been my French tutor for a few years and has helped my French improve in leaps and bounds. I find both her 1:1 and group sessions are targeted at a level where I am understanding but still being stretched.
I would highly recommend her classes if you are an absolute beginner or speak French and wish to be more fluent or polish your grammar.
A fantastic, patient, friendly and intelligent teacher. ”
Steve P. - London“I highly recommend Magali. She is incredibly patient and encouraging. She is also exceptionally good at building a low-stress environment so every student can feel safe to speak, to make mistakes and hence to learn. She puts a lot of heart into her teaching and makes lots of effort to understand the challenges of learning a second language. Learning French with her is not just productive but fun.”
