Learning French turns out to be a travel adventure. Fabienne’s classes are shaped with a definite structure that covers all the relevant subjects I want to be able to communicate about, but she makes it feel flexible, and adapted to those of us in the room. It’s been really fun, and funny to be there—lots of humor and popular culture and learning about French movies and Parisienne mindset. It’s the kind of class you go to, and then want to keep studying with her. She’s always in good spirits a...

The experience has been perfect. Great one-on-one instruction paired with just the right amount of challenging material. Not too easy and not too difficult. The instructor (Guilia: aka the best!) ensures slowing or picking up the pace where ever it's needed. I highly recommend.

I took the FrenchUp course from the Novexpat recently that also helped me a lot to prepare for the DCL exam! The sessions were extremely useful, covering important grammar rules, writing structure, and logical connectors. The guidance was clear and practical, making me feel well-prepared. Great support in all aspects!

I've been taking small group lessons for 6 months now and my french has improved immensely. I've gone from A2 to B1 without even thinking about it. The 1-1 coaching is made to measure and outstanding with Fabienne. I look forward to my classes every week.

As a veteran teacher myself, I love how the lessons were structured in Novexpat. I always felt like the learning was focused on useful and relevant material. In addition, I'm a mom of two toddlers so the flexible scheduling of the courses (during naptime!) was super helpful. I have made a lot of progress in my French language skills and I'm excited to take another course with Novexpat.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The tailored approach to my learning was incredibly effective. My teacher is dedicated, patient, and always able to explain and answer any questions. I now feel confident and competent enough to talk to anyone and read any book I choose, but learning a language is a journey!

I found the program to be fun and engaging. I especially enjoyed the discussion we had, being able to ask questions, and the subjects the course covered. In general it was good practice for speaking; I recommend it if you want to have a bit of routine practice and expand your vocabulary.

I highly recommend Novexpat! Cecile, my French teacher, was very patient and supportive. She explained things clearly and had a gentle teaching style, which was especially helpful for someone who struggles with languages. I also appreciated learning French in cafes instead of classrooms. Also, the co-founders did an excellent job with my course and exam registration and follow-up. All around a pleasant experience!

I followed the FrenchUp program. The combination of online courses and face to face (on Zoom) teaching worked perfectly for me. Plus, the program was very flexible, and the teacher adapted the courses to my level. It was what I needed to build up confidence and upgrade my French knowledge.

I have been looking for a partner to help me improve French. With Novexpat, I have found that partner. My sessions involve conversation, explanation and practice with new concepts. With my teacher Patrizia, I am experiencing progress and learning. I am very happy with Novexpat.

I absolutely recommend this program! - it is not only a French course, it is also a discovery trip to understand better French culture, you learn a lot of interesting things along the way! Fabienne is super energetic and generates a very positive vibe in the group! I did not find especially remarkable the tool while on the course, but once we finished, it has been great to be able to review the vocabulary, to go through the recommended material that I did not have the chance to explore then...

I really can't say enough good things about Novexpat. Over my ~5 years in Paris, I studied at multiple schools, meetups, etc. Novexpat was the best by far! Everything I was taught was super relevant, practical, and immediately useful. My only regret is that I didn't start studying with them sooner! If you want to get results quickly, study with Novexpat!

Fabienne and the Novexpat program are absolutely phenomenal! I came into the program as a complete beginner speaking no French at all, and even after 6 months I was able to go to Paris and communicate in shops, restaurants, etc. Having taken other more traditional (i.e. book-based) courses with other languages, I have to say my comprehension and ability to speak has progressed much more rapidly that I could have hoped. Also, Fabienne is a join to work with and learn from. Highly recommend taking a...

'Classes with Fabienne are incredibly useful and pleasant at the same time. Weekly conversation classes give just the right amount of push to help even the people on busy schedules to gain confidence. Through-out the well structured lessons one has the occasion to put French into practice and hold conversations of various lengths and complexities with like-minded people. Novexpat founders and their team are very open and warm. The diligent and vibrant team, while putting relentless effort in alwa...

Our instructor Giulia helped us quickly improve our written and spoken French, and also teaches us how to use local and common idioms and mistakes to avoid. The in-person lessons are very thorough and useful, but taught in a way that is patient, friendly, engaging and fun.

I had a great experience with Novexpat and I highly recommened. The teacher and the staff are all very nice and helpful making the experience of learning french really enjoyable and efficient. Xhat I like the most is the way the lessons are organised in different sections that are interconnected to ech other, really helping to fix and retain the grammar and vocabulary. I feel that I have really improved my French thanks to Novexpat and I feel more confident! Many thanks!

I really enjoyed learning french with Fabienne (Novexpat)! The conversation courses, they provide, are very well structured, topics explained in an easy way! Learning new phrases and taking them into a practise directly during the course made them to sit in my head:). Friendly and enjoyable learning with a great teacher! Courses were even more effective thanks to the teachers skills to master “zoom”and their interactive french learning web (Novexpat) for practicing learned topics afterwards. Gre...

I learned SO much. I have been studying for 3 years and this was the most useful for everyday life. I heard about Novexpat through a friend. The first day I was given words one could use when meeting someone new. I thought how silly. I've been meeting new people for 3 years. But these phrases and words were not how I had been introducing myself. What a difference this class made. I felt more french and more confident with each lesson. Each week I learned useful everyday words and expressions that ...

Very positive experience. The course is really well structured. My main objective was to improve my oral French in normal day to day situations. This was extremely well covered. The classes are divided by subject which makes them very interesting and immediately useful. I could feel my confidence to speak French increase with every lesson. The teacher, Fabienne, is amazing and the duration of the lessons is perfect with a short break and lots of practice time. The platform Neo is also full of reso...

Between both the FrenchBooster & FrenchUp programs I've seen a huge improvement in my French. I use French at work and in my day to day life, but it has been useful to have the opportunity to practice while being corrected when speaking. Also to focus on improving my comprehension and grammar. The resources are very strong and help to reinforce each lesson. I would highly recommend Novexpat to others (just as I have already done to quite a few friends!)

The french booster program with NovExpat was excellent. During the duration of the course we were taught lots of French idiomatic expression used in daily life for different topics, which not only helps to communicate better, but to understand as well. The Neo platform is the best, as you can learn and practice at your own. The classes are very dynamic. The groups are small. Thank you Fabienne and keep up the amazing work!

This was a great experience for me. There are lots of things that can be tough when moving to a new country, and two of them are culture and language. This was a chance for me to learn about French culture while improving my language skills, while also learning with a patient and kind teacher.

Novexpat is wonderful. My two teachers, Fabienne and Cecile were gentle and patient with me. I had bad experiences in the past where I felt too uncomfortable to speak and try in French but not here. The French Booster was so fun and helpful in learning more vocabulary for my daily life in France. I will be taking French Up soon to further improve my French. I highly recommend Novexpat!

I am very pleased that I took the 8 week French Booster course with Novexpat. I really enjoyed the structure of the small-group participatory lessons, the accompanying website and homework, my classmates, Fabienne (the teacher) and of course the results: greater confidence not only in written and spoken French but also tips and tricks for fitting in to life in Paris.

I have loved my one-on-one classes with Novexpat! I feel like Fabienne really understands my level and with one-on-one classes she really takes the time to make sure I understand the new material before moving on, or if I already know a part of the lesson we are able to move along faster than if in a classroom environment with many other students. She is extremely patient and allows me to ask as many questions as I wish and also makes me feel extremely comfortable and confident. The learning style...

Their FrenchUp course is tailor made and suits well my needs in terms of flexible scheduling as well as tailormade program. Also the support with DCL exam preparation was very helpful, and the result was better than I expected. I will continue with Novexpat next year

Fabienne's lunchtime online conversation course is a great way to build upon and challenge your existing skills. The small group, friendly atmosphere, and online review tools are really helpful.

I really enjoyed my Novexpat program and found it invaluable! With my very motivated teacher, we followed a program mixed with discussion & formal courseware on their custom platform. The courses cover vocabulary, grammar, verbs & conjugation (in a fun way!) and also include day to day jargon as well as cultural soundbites on films, music etc to help you not only learn the language, but the culture too. :)

I have been taking the course for several weeks and it is helping me improve my French so much. The online classes are small and the structure allows for you to practice what you are learning conversationally. For reference I am level B1. Fabienne is very patient and really knows how to teach! Highly recommend!!!

I cannot recommend Fabienne's class more! She is a true delight. Moreover, the webapp NEO is useful and attractive with exercises you can do and do again, and again. Because of the pandemic, I took the course online, but have no regrets. I feel as though I received the full learning experience. Trust me, I have taken many French classes (in 3 different countries and 4 cities), and this is the only class I recommend. Enroll and Enjoy.

I participate in the French conversation classes which are an hour each for 2 days a week. You have the flexibility to choose Mon/Thurs or Tues/Fri. Fabienne is a great teacher and hosts a class which has a good balance of structured learning in 'every day' French (focusing on a specific topic each time) and giving us all an opportunity to talk in class. All in all very enjoyable and practical. Highly recommended!

Fabienne and the NovExpat team are changing the way people learn French. Her methods go far beyond teaching grammar and conjugations; they teach you the living language - that which is most relevant to adapting and integrating into the French culture. I can’t say enough about how much and how quickly I learned - and how enjoyable the lessons have been! I see Fabienne for private lessons now but the French Booster course was so good, I plan to take it a second time!

I really loved my French course. It was useful and fun with a structured approach where I actually felt like I learned something every class. I was also able to put it to use immediately and I also recognized the phrases in every day life immediately as well. I could relate to my colleagues at work better and gave me more confidence to speak. Highly recommend!

I really enjoy Novexpat's French classes. From the first 20-minutes meeting up until completing the first 30h FrenchUp course, my French teacher, Fabienne, a co-founder of Novexpat, encouraged me so much in terms of learning French. She made me not to be afraid of expressing myself in French. The vocabularies of each topics are super useful and practical in daily life. I am much more confident in speaking French.

The learning experience over the past 6 months with Novexpat has been wonderful. The lessons were very structured allowing me to grasp the concepts easily and with time for reinforcement of the earlier concepts learnt. I am also able to connect well with the instructore (Laura) which helps as it allowed us to chat on topics beyond the lesson and practice on the concepts learnt.
