"Thank you a lot for the lessons, I really feel that I have improved my English since we first started together 2 years ago.

"I think your teaching was interesting to improve my speaking. The start of the lesson was good - to speak about the weekend, news in my country - I could improve my fluency. It was interesting to read the articles on the BBC - it allowed me to complete my vocabulary." - Delphine Groslambert, Belfort, France
"I really enjoyed this year of English lessons with the discussions on different topics and when we talk about the news from France.

After this, I feel much more confident in a discussion with colleagues. - Emmanuel Lhotte-Nguyen, Paris, France

"I would like to thank you again for all the English lessons you gave to me. My English level depends a lot on my confidence and you really improved it thanks to your training methods. Talking about different kinds of topics (news or personal life) was interesting as well as instructive. The mix between the general talking and the grammar exercises was perfectly adapted to my needs. Thanks to you I think I improved my expression, my understanding and my grammar skills." - Jeremy Audel, France
"I really appreciated all my English classes with you. With your teaching, I have enriched my vocabulary with new words, new expressions, and also new phrasal verbs.

Now I feel more comfortable and secure when speaking English and more fluent, too." - Celine Decouflet, France
"During the last academic year we developed good weekly contact. I think I have progressed in conversation flow and grammar." - Gabriel Turbino, Spain

"I would like to thank you for all the lessons you gave me. Now I am more fluent and confident to speak and express myself. You have really found a good way to teach me English, on the basis of conversation and without too much grammar (but enough to remind me of the different rules essential in conversation). You gave me an actual opportunity to speak and train my oral English. A lot of other English teachers I had before you spoke too much, didn't give me room to express myself during the lessons or were too pedantic. From the beginning you understood my needs and expectations and it was really interesting to speak with you!" - Stephanie Alexandre, France
"Before the end of my lessons, I wanted to thank you for all your advice, corrections and also your patience. I really appreciated learning and working with you.

I also really enjoyed our general conversations, which were really interesting. You succeeded in identfiying my centres of interest. Good job!" - Nicolas Dieudonne, France
"You were always punctual in starting the lessons. Your way to explain the (grammar) lessons was very clear and dynamic. When I made mistakes, you rectified them very quickly.

"Marcus Coats is a great teacher, taking care of grammar errors of his students, listening carefully and willing to give some advice and support to further improve the pronunciation and knowledge of the English language." - Valerie Jaouen, France
