This is what some of the people we've worked with have to say about us:

“As a continuing student of Barbara's I have first hand experience of her innovative, open and fresh approach to language training.

Our study sessions are always stimulating and challenging. She has managed through a mixture of traditional and modern techniques to inspire foreign language confidence in a middle aged “dyed in the wool anglophile”.

I have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone who is either desirous or in need of a second language.”

“Having transferred to a European job role, I was amazed at the language skills of my mainly German colleagues. I was, however, a little embarrassed that when in meetings or socialising after work, my German colleagues had to speak English for my benefit. Thanks to an excellent business German course provided by Barbara Chapman I can now converse and generally find my way around most situations. It really has helped as my German colleagues greatly appreciate the efforts I have made with learning German.

Benefits in the working environment have also been numerous: speaking to customers, and in particular dealing with people from the “Old East” whose second language was Russian. Thanks to my German course, I have managed to sort out some quite technical issues - not that my German is technical but the good will generated by my efforts to speak German tend to win the day."

“I wanted to say how much we appreciated the French language course that you gave to Robert, Mike and myself.

We were all rather dreading your arrival – comparing notes of our failed attempts to learn French while at school and the way the lessons made you feel. However, you soon put us at ease and showed us that learning French could be fun and was not impossible!

You have given us all the ability to handle basic business situations in a confident manner, both over the telephone and face-to-face. We intend to maintain these skills so that we can make full use of them and maximise business opportunities in the future.

If we need further training we will definitely ask you, and we will be happy to recommend your services to anyone requiring training in this field.

Many thanks once again.”

“Dear Barbara

Just a few words to thank you for the excellent tuition and help that you gave Vicky and me during our CBLC Entry Level German course. I'm pleased to inform you that we received our OCR Certificates yesterday.

Again, thank you for getting us through the exams.

Kind regards”
