French Teacher Refresher Course, Nice

Nice is an elegant and lively city on the French Riviera with an impressive range of cultural festivals, galleries and museums, and a mild climate all year round.  The old town of Nice is famous for its cobbled alleyways, restaurants, street cafes and colourful markets and it is easy to visit picturesque countryside areas of the Provence region.

Our school is located near a pedestrianised street  near the Promenade des Anglais and the beach with plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops close by.  This French Teacher Refresher Course is offered on two dates in July – see below for full details.

“I found my teacher to be excellent. He was always well prepared and had fantastic pace in every lesson and so we quickly covered a variety of grammatical topics as well as various other topics. Classroom speaking activities, done in pairs or in groups, were fun and really pushed everyone to be the best they could be!”
