David and Michele are both Francophiles and have lived in France a collective 10 years. When not in Cambridge where we teach at Anglia Ruskin University, we run intensive French residential courses in our house, 'Le Verger' (Dordogne) and its converted gite in the grounds, The Piggery (La Petite Maison). Both enthusiastic teachers, our courses give all our students a massive confidence boost in French at beginner, GCSE and A level French. Our new course : French for living and holidays. Ask about our Writers' Retreats for creative writers which we have been running successfully for 11 years.
David is a writer and teaches creative writing. Contact us if you are interested in a Writer's Retreat: space, peace and quiet and time to write that novel or memoir with all meals (including wine) and guidance if needed. For both French and Writing Retreats, get a group of 4 or more together and get your place discounted....
