School in La Chaux-de-Fonds

"Comment"

“All of my comments have allready been stated in both written/verbal communication with the school's staff and thus remain unchanged. Since I have been noticing more effort regarding the organization within the School lately, the rate I gave is higher than I normally would have given.”

"It would be good if"

“It would be good if the classes could be more varied. I think I have done "faire les courses" 3 times. However, all the staff and teachers are great.”

"Very good"

“Very good”

"Excellente \u00e9quipe, comp\u00e9tent et humaine."

“Excellente équipe, compétent et humaine. Merci bien!”

“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\u2019m very happy with the"

“I’m very happy with the school although the sign-up system/process is a bit difficult to navigate in terms of getting signed into all the courses you want (regardless of whether you sign up early or not). I feel like it would be easier to have students to this themselves that way if they can’t make it they can simply unregistered and other students would have to opportunity to signing up. Also, I think it would be nice to get some “homework” for some selected language level courses instead of only for the echange classes.”

"Very good, not quite perfect!"

“I am very happy with the teaching I have received from the Swiss French School and I feel that my level of French, particularly the grammatical structure, has improved significantly since I started my lessons. I was starting with a strong base so I cannot say what they are like for a complete beginner. The best thing that I have found with the school is the quality of the teaching itself. The small class size (never more than 3, regularly just me) means you get plenty of time to discuss around the topics rather than just follow a rote timetable and the teachers are very friendly and approachable. The workshops are also very helpful, albeit they are usually a lot busier, and the social events get rave reviews (although I have been unable to attend one myself.) If you book in advance, the flexibility around the lessons is also very helpful. So, what stops it from getting five stars? Firstly, it is relatively expensive, so therefore would be expected to offer more than a cheaper alternative. The main other drawbacks for me are the quality of the on-line material is not quite there. I rarely felt like I was learning when completing a lot of these exercises and the system had some simple flaws. Finally, because the school is very busy, if you need to rearrange a class or re-take a level, then it can be very difficult to find a space in the immediate week or two, particularly if, like me, you were studying after work. However, overall I was very happy and have continued with SFS to take me to my DELF exam in June, so I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

"Teachers were good, interactive and"

“Teachers were good, interactive and interested”

"About the course"

“I really like the course. I only will say that sometimes is frustraiting that there is no option to take a class. For example this week there is nothing available”

"I have learn a lot"

“I have learn a lot and I had time for only two weeks despite of I can use the time very good. The teachers are super and they teach very creative and good.”

"French language student"

“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.”

"I have not moor Time,"

“I have not moor Time, I can’t now into the school :thinking: but I hope, I can make in the next time one new Programm for French. But, I am positive with the school. Thanks”

"Schedule"

“Very uncomfortable system with booking classes. It will be perfect if student can be able to have the app where they can schedule their classes by themselves. And if it needed cancel without phone calls, but just using their special app.”

"Ana Daniela cardenas"

“Je suis très content de l'excellent travail de l'école”

“Great course, it allows to fit all the lessons in a busy schedule.”

“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. ”

"My course"

“The most understanding and Amazing teachers i have learn more abt them”

"Perfect professors, the only minus"

“Perfect professors, the only minus is price, and having no possibility to do work online at home”

“Very good school, amaizing team. I recommend it to everyone!”

“I am very happy with the course, nice atmosphere, very easy to progress. ”

"Good system overall, more expensive"

“Good system overall, more expensive then many other alternatives and to me the benefit was its flexibility to find a solution to all life / work styles. I must say I find it extremely difficult to book classes on an ongoing basis... as I'm working full time and travelling most of the time, so if you miss Thursday mornings its very likely you'll miss a few weeks... which is not ideal. So SFS promise of offering flexibility for all life/ working styles is not fully delivered. This is my second enrollment and I'm seriously thinking not to continue after this one finishes- thanks and kind regards”

"Useful Conversation Classes"

“The method is interesting but where I believe to receive real value is when attending the conversation classes. During the conversation classes I can meet and exchange with diversified people with different cultures.”

"The good feeling is in this school"

“Thank you very much, and I feel very professional education system,very friendly staff and teacher!”

“Great school”

"Excellent"

“The instructors are first rate and thorough. I have signed up for six more months.”

"All the teachers are awesome"

“All the teachers are awesome especially Chloe and Marjorie”

"I find the staff of"

“I find the staff of your school always extremely polite and willing to help, accommodating, positive in attitude and demeanor. It was also very important that at first call the course was reshaped according to my needs. Thank you”

"SFS - Fribourg"

“The three French teachers at the Fribourg location are all excellent instructors with each having their own strength in teaching. As a group, an outstanding source of learning. The instructors are amicable and the discussions are current and applicable. Drawback: the schedule is so tight that there is no opportunity to ask a question that would require a 2-3 minute explanation. This is a challenge to avoid developing bad habits that are difficult to change later on. The Rosetta Stone application became nearly useless as the interface speed was far too slow to be of any benefit. The CG voices were often difficult to discern. Overall, of all the language schools I have attended, the method worked the best for me and I would recommend others to try your program.”

"I think swiss French school"

“I think swiss French school will be to help me to learn more on francaise but the big problem is about price of courses really expensive”

"Interim"

“Interim”

"Good service"

“Good service”

"Great school"

“The school is great, I find the teachers’ approach very intuitive and clear. I do recomend to offer more “atelier” classes per week, specially directed towards writing composition and conversation”

"Great school to learn French"

“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.”

"Review"

“Dear SFS Staff. Thank you for valuing your student's feedback. In my experience, I have had a particular professor that was not aligned and understandable of full time professionals schedule and struggles to follow up with all the preparation required by SFS methodology. The professor's lacked patience to explain grammar and correct mistakes, politely.”

"It was cool"

“It was cool”

"Very useful"

“I was looking for exactly such an approach to learning French. The workshops are useful and the teaching sessions are rather fun. Rachel is great!!”

"High level of professionalism"

“A very friendly environment with high level of professionalism. The professors makes sure that students understand each lesson and of course attending the workshops really helps to practice not only in grammatical way but also in pronunciation. Not to mention the friendly receptionists who do their best to schedule the lessons according to students' availability.”

"My opinion"

“I had excellent time learning French during my stay in Geneva I plan to continue on my next assignment, hopefully shortly,”

"Awesome school"

“Unfortunately i don't have much free time to go to the school, but the online program compenses it a lot.”

"review 20\/3\/19"

“overall very happy with courses offered and progress made but frustrated by difficulty in booking lesson times and workshops/activities given I have limited times when I can study. would prefer for private lessons to be able to express a teacher preference.”

“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. ”

“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.”
