“In my opinion it is not worth what it costs, they sit you in front of a precarious and technical duolingo to repeat the lesson to a teacher who is limitedly available, it is not a place to socialize, the groups are limited and mechanical.
I paid 3000chf for three months despite saying I was looking for work, there was no problem, after a month I found a job and they only offered me a time limit of several months to rejoin. Time passed, I couldn't combine work and the course, without giving me any solution and at the end of the time I feel like they stole 2000chf from me, was there no other way to pay? It's a lot of money to keep quiet and not tell about the experience.
In short, for a few coins you have the original duolingo in its premium version, although it also has a free version available, this application is the one that taught me to speak French.”
“From the moment I joined the Swiss French School in Geneva, I have been continuously impressed by the quality of support and encouragement that everyone at the school provides. My coach, Ryan, is not only incredibly supportive and always encouraging but also exceptionally accommodating. He consistently goes above and beyond to meet my needs, understand my challenges, and negotiate solutions to ensure that I am never left out due to financial hurdles. He pays close attention to my learning progress, provides insightful guidance, and always makes time for meaningful, heart-to-heart conversations. The management team, especially Chris, the reception team, and the teachers
are truly remarkable. They are extremely supportive and go out of their way to accommodate students’ needs. They create an environment that is both uplifting and motivating. One of the most important things that stand out for me is how they have made me feel at home. Each visit is a warm and welcoming experience. For anyone looking to advance their French language competence in a supportive and enriching environment, I cannot recommend the Swiss French School enough. It is a community where everyone thrives together to succeed and help others succeed.”
“I believe is not a good school to learn French. The rules and the things they offer is completely different to what they really do. Also, the classes with the professor are more to repeat, instead to solve and try to understand the questions the student might have.”
“I enrolled at the Swiss French school when I moved to Geneva and had a good experience with the school. It is flexible allowing me to study from anywhere both online and in person. My consultant, Ms Lou Lesur was also very communicative and attentive to my queries throughout the course.”
“Sehr professionell! Bereits bei der Beratung fand Herr Jérôme Rottet sofort das Niveau heraus und beurteilte mein Französisch absolut richtig. Weiter gings über die Kostenberatung welche Jérôme im Nu ausgerechnet hat. Es wurde nicht nur ausgerechnet sondern entsprach dann auch genau diesen Zahlen in der Realität. Mir wurde dann die Lehrerin Namens Camille Lambert zugeteilt. Auch hier absolut professioneller Vorgang! Sie ging auf meine Wünsche und Vorstellungen ein und behandelte genau die Themen, welche mir wichtig waren. Mein Ziel war es die B2 Prüfung zu bestehen und hierzu hat Sie mich perfekt auf meinem Weg begleitet. Für mich sehr wichtig waren ebenfalls die Detailinformationen wie denn diese Prüfung ablaufen wird. Camille erwähnte jeden Punkt, welche dann auch genau so eingetroffen sind. Zusammengefasst eine super Schule welche mich auf meinem Weg absolut super begleitet haben. Sollte ich in Zukunft meine Sprachkenntnisse ein weiteres Mal verfeinern wollen, dann ist dies die Adresse! Herzlichen Dank für Alles!”
“Swiss French school manages to be effective professionally and in a friendly way. The teachers are great, always on form, taking me as a native English speaker from an A1 level to the completion of B1 French in 6 months. I definitely recommend the school (online version) and especially to those who want to learn French properly and deeply. The positive aspects of having a range of good teachers is that they all have their own understanding of French to build on your foundation and you won’t be learning French with ‘bad habits’. This suits a steady approach to French and not a super high intensive one. Thank you Swiss French School for getting me well started with French!”
“I took French classes at this school for 6 months.
At first, I couldn't even introduce myself properly in French, but gradually I came to understand French.
If you finish your homework and have a class with your teacher at least twice a week, I think you can reach your goal in a short time.
However, personally, I felt that the one-hour class with the teacher was very short compared to the amount of homework, so if you think it is insufficient, I recommend taking the course again.
For your information, the teachers were all friendly, but they all have different personalities and teaching styles, so it's important to know which one is right for you.
And what I liked the most about this school was the online workshops and social clubs.
I was able to take classes with other students through online workshops from the comfort of my home, and there were actually various workshops.
Also, it was an advantage to be able to choose a class schedule that is relatively convenient for me.
If you are still hesitating about this school, I recommend taking a free sample class before making a decision.
Anyways, I support you as you learn French at this school in the future !”
“We very much enjoyed the studying with the Swiss French School. The flexibility of the lessons allowed us to progress at our own pace.
The tutors were very friendly, helpful and patient and we were always made to feel welcome in the school. The school also provided a good environment for studying.
We did not make a lot of use of the grammar workshops but found the weekly breakfasts most enjoyable and useful.
Covid-19 did have an impact on the course both on us personally as we both got sick and on the school as the breakfasts had to be stopped and the teaching moved to Zoom. Our time lost being sick was very kindly made up by a free extension to our package.
We started with the Rosetta Stone software and moved to Speexx and Moodle when this was introduced. Rosetta Stone and Speexx we found easy to use and helpful but Moodle seems awkward and time consuming.
Overall a very positive experience and thanks to all at the Swiss French School.”
“Excellent teachers display their superb pedagogical expertise to make students understand and acquire the new language in a very dynamic and attractive way. Teaching methodology provides outstanding learning results. Counselors and assistants are always at hand to provide support. I'm absolutely happy with the command of the French language I've acquired at the Swiss French School.”
“I am very satisfied with the facilities of this course. It is the best course i have ever attended in my life. The method is really efficient and useful. I loved the atmosphere that you provided for the students. I am very thankful to the Swiss French School to provide me one month trial. I really appreciate it. In one month, i really feel the difference. Now, i am more willing to learn and try to speak french.”
“Everything is great.
I like the system to learn to do your homeworks bevor the class.
The teachers are very helpfoul and kind.
I like the socialclub activitys”
“I went through different types of languages schools and methods of learning French in Geneva ( at least 3 another schools). Now I can honestly tell that the Swiss French School is one of the best. The management listens to your suggestions and demands, teachers are excellent, by the end of my study i felt like at home. If you are looking for a long term and good learning of French , then go for it. I would recommend only this school.”
“The Swiss French School program suits me very well. The fact that I can take my courses in a flexible manner falls within my wishes for this reason I have not found a match to SFS. Here, I can comfortably say Excellent.”
