Private Duo Classes for Couples & Friends

Some couples or friends choose to learn French together — not in separate classes, but as a shared learning experience.

When both learners are at a similar level, this duo format becomes motivating, reassuring, and genuinely effective.

Our private duo classes are designed exactly for this kind of learning.

Why learning as a couple can be powerful

Language learning is not only about vocabulary and grammar.
It is also social, emotional, and relational.

When two learners work together at a similar level, they naturally:
– encourage each other to speak,
– practise more regularly,
– normalise mistakes,
– and stay motivated over time.

Learning becomes a shared routine rather than an individual effort — which greatly supports long-term progress.

Why having a similar level really matters

For duo classes to work well, balance is essential.

When levels are too different, one partner tends to speak more easily while the other hesitates.
This often leads to frustration, loss of confidence, and reduced participation — even with good intentions on both sides.

Private duo classes are offered only to couples or pairs at a similar level.
This condition protects the quality of the learning experience for both learners.

Who these classes are for

Private duo classes are a good fit if:

– you are a couple or pair who want to learn French together,
– you have a similar starting level,
– you enjoy learning through interaction and dialogue,
– you want a more personalised format than a group class.

If levels are significantly different, we will always suggest a more suitable option (group classes or individual coaching).

These private duo classes are taught by Thomas, a qualified and experienced language teacher.

Thomas has taught English and French in international secondary schools and has many years of experience working with teenagers and adults, both in classrooms and online.

His approach is structured, calm, and supportive, with a strong focus on communication, confidence, and long-term progress.

You are guided by a real teacher — not a conversation facilitator.

All materials are created by our pedagogical team and aligned with the approach used during the sessions.

F.A.Q

Do we need to have the same level?

Yes. Private duo classes are designed for couples or pairs with a similar level.

When levels are well aligned, both learners participate fully and progress together.
When levels are too different, it often leads to frustration for one or both partners.

A short level check may be suggested before starting, simply to ensure the class runs smoothly for both learners.

Why is a duo class priced per learner?

A duo class involves two active learners, not one.

The teacher adapts the pace, activities, and feedback so that both learners remain fully involved and progress comfortably. Each learner receives individual guidance during the session.

For this reason, duo classes are priced per learner, while remaining more accessible than one-to-one coaching.

Who teaches the duo classes?

All private duo classes are taught by Thomas, an experienced and qualified language teacher.

His approach is structured, supportive, and focused on communication, confidence, and long-term progress.
