Student Testimonials
The quality of the teaching that Catherine delivered was outstanding across the board. Using a very interactive, tailor-made approach, she created the ideal situation for learning the language. Catherine is not only a great listener but also managed to make every lesson interesting by selecting different topics of conversation and teaching with enthusiasm. - Frederic, General Manager, KFC, Pizza Hut
The aim was to improve my confidence in History, and gain deep knowledge of historical events and political movements in France over the last 3 centuries. I had a entry exam interview at Oxford University and needed help! To my delight Catherine arrived. It was immediately clear that she was extremely friendly, and as soon as we sat down and started speaking about the subject, it was clear that she was passionate about what she teaches. - Julia O'Brien, Oxford Student, French and History
I started French lessons with Mrs Catherine Eeckhout in December 2009 and really enjoy her enthusiastic and cheerful character. She is extremely professional in her attitude to teaching, and manages to maintain a very light hearted and yet very functional approach with every lesson. I would highly recommend her, and in fact have done recently to a work colleague who is considering changing her current French tutor. - Paul Hicks
Mrs Eeckhout has been my private Spanish teacher in January and February 2010 as we were going to relocate to South Florida and I was a complete beginner. I could not recommend her more. Both her 'immersion' approach with Spanish-only conversations, the very interesting cultural insight she always introduced and her warm and bubbly personality made every lesson very enjoyable and something I looked forward to every single time. - Kareen Lafon Givenchy UK Beauty Managing Director
I have been taking French lessons with Catherine since September 2009, and now I feel much more confident and articulate in the language with just 2 hours of lessons per week (also some 'devoirs') and I am sure that over the next year or so I shall be able to communicate in this language quite easily. She has been very patient and the lessons are always extremely interesting. - Ramon
Catherine is an excellent tutor. She is reliable and extremely conscientious. My son who is 19 years old actually enjoys her lesson (which in itself is a major step forward!). She seems to spend a lot of time preparing her lessons and brings a variety of visual aids each time she comes. How much is being retained?? We won't know until after the exams - but one thing I'm sure of is that if the answer to that question is "very little" - it is certainly not Catherine's fault - she has tried her very best! - Susan Jones
