Feedback Report For Cedric
From: Katy
Subject: FRENCH (intermediate level)
Rating: 5/5 Rating
Report: Cedric is the BEST teacher! I can sometimes feel stressed going into my lessons due to lack of preparation time but I never need worry - Cedric has a fantastic, open learning style and instantly puts me at ease, and I honestly don`t know where the hour goes! He is very laid back and will tailor the entire lesson around you, taking the conversation in a different direction to the one he`s planned, if necessary. This gives me confidence to ask questions and Cedric is always great at gently correcting my grammar and vocab without making me feel self conscious. I have been at intermediary French level for some year, dipping in and out as time allows, but my vocabulary and grammar have improved so much since having lessons with Cedric. My husband is at a lower learning level to me, but is also learning with Cedric and I know he gets as much out of his lessons as I do - all in all, we would both highly recommend Cedric to anyone, whatever learning stage you are at - you won`t regret it! Cedric is `le top`!

Feedback Report For Cedric
From: Nicholas
Subject: ITALIAN (advanced level)
Rating: 5/5 Rating
Report: I am very much enjoying my lessons with Cédric. He is a first rate tutor who understands your needs and interests and shapes the lessons accordingly. In my case the emphasis is on conversation from which particular points of grammar are identified and corrected where necessary. Our conversation ranges from day to day concerns to literature, film and art. The fact that Cédric can switch so easily from Italian to French to English is an added bonus. Highly recommended!

Feedback Report For Cedric
From: Chris
Subject: FRENCH (level A2)
Rating: 5/5 Rating
Report: I’ve been having French lessons with Cedric for just over a month. I was quite anxious before the 1st lesson because of terrible memories of French at school in the 80s. I needn’t have worried. Cédric is very patient, enthusiastic, inventive and keeps lessons interesting. I chose well!
I look forward to my weekly lessons.

BIO: I come from the beautiful city of Florence, Italy, where I was born. My cultural background is a mix of Italian from my father and French from my mother, which has shaped the way I see the world. I`ve been bilingual since I was a child, speaking both French and Italian effortlessly.

When I was 5 years old, my family moved to France, where I went to school and eventually decided to study Italian at university. This choice was driven by my genuine interest in exploring and understanding my cultural heritage.

Looking back at my journey from Florence to France and then to London, with my bilingualism, music, and academic pursuits, I cherish the richness of life`s experiences. My story is one of cultural diversity, a love for languages, and an ongoing quest for knowledge in various fields.
