A flavor of authentic France:

Photo of Learn French at your Teacher's Home in FranceIn a world where authenticity is vanishing quickly, Burgundy has managed to retain a strong identity and to preserve its cultural and historic heritage. Semur en Auxois, where the school is located in ancient covenant, is a small yet vibrant, beautiful French town where foreigners are welcome and appreciated by the locals.

Semur is about 9 centuries old, yet your cell phone signal will never disappear! Modernity meets ancient times. In such an environment, students are incentivized to make quick and good progress -- both in their language skills as well as in their understanding of the French culture.

The local delicacies, the monuments in the region and its proximity to Paris will make it a pleasant cultural and linguistic immersion.

Message from Our Tutor:

La Petite Classe is a school which is tailor made for adults (students and professionals alike). I’ve been teaching French to foreigners from over the world for several decades, and opened my school here in Semur en Auxois a decade ago.

I am among the handful of « FLE » certified professors in France who offer complete immersion at the teacher's home but actually the only one in the country to take no more than 2 students per session, in order to offer high quality courses that meet their needs and satisfy their personal or professional objectives.

Furthermore, I am the only one who has accumulated significant experience abroad, teaching at renown institutions in Europe and Asia.

My classes are also unique in that I do integrate pronunciation modules. No other school in France or abroad does that. I host students from all over the world and of any age, with a strong proportion of them coming from the US, Northern Europe and Japan as well as emerging economies such as China and Brazil.

French Language Lessons:

- Beginner to advanced levels

- Private / homestay classes
- Immersive French lessons: 22 hours/week
- 1 to 3 week courses
- Home stay and meals
- Guided tour of Burgundy: twice a week

Student Testimonial: 
"Maryse brings years of experience in teaching French to Americans. She really cares about your learning process. In addition, she is lots of fun, with a great sense of humor and lots of energy. She also will help you to understand the French culture and people. The setting is also magnifique--the town of Semur is small and friendly yet large enough to have everything you could want need. I highly recommend this experience.
