What Our Students Say
EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Posted on Google Steve RutledgeApril 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am putting this in English for the benefit of those considering studying French. I’ve studied French in the context of US university courses, at Lyon Bleu, and at Alliance (also here in Lyon). All have their good and bad sides. I found Geraldine Jay a perfect fit for what I needed. She will focus on what you need to work on, and she gives excellent personal attention with an eye for what her students require on a personal level. I have worked with her twice a week (an hour each session) for about seven months (from September to April) and feel I’ve been able to make real progress. She tailors her teaching to what you need personally. I am taking a temporary break because it is spring, the weather is beautiful, and I want to do some traveling here in France before the tourists arrive. I look forward to working again with her in the future, probably this fall if not sooner (I am aiming to try to pass the B2 DALF), and I cannot recommend her highly enough. And let me add that I always had a great time and looked forward to and enjoyed my lessons very much. Formidable et super chouette!Posted on Google Rhys JonesDecember 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want to learn French Géraldine is the person you want to see. I’ve been learning for a couple years (in Australia) but she has taught me more in one month than could ever hope for. More importantly she is a wonderful & patient person who knows how to push a student without overwhelming them. Thank you again for making my time in Lyon the best, hope to learn more from you in the future, Merci!🙏Posted on Google Andrea sciuffJuly 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I thoroughly enjoyed my French classes with Geraldine! She makes learning French fun, yes, even the grammar! She is an intuitive teacher who explains the concepts of the language in an easy-to-understand manner. As a highly experienced teacher, she understands the difficulties of learning the language and is both kind and sympathetic, never berating you for mistakes as some teachers do. The class is a mix of writing, listening, and speaking, with lots of interesting topics and good conversations. I highly recommend her if you are looking to learn French in Lyon! Merci Géraldine :-)Posted on Google Melanie HamlettMay 6, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geraldine is honestly one of the best teachers (of anything) I've ever had. She's very intuitive and meets you where you're at. For instance, I have serious ADHD and other learning issues, so she knows how to cater her lessons to me so that I'm full of confidence after each lesson instead of shame. I've struggled so much with French in my five years here and have taken numerous classes and private lessons with different teachers. Geraldine is the only one who could figure out how to make French fun and engaging instead of overwelming and stressful. She's worth every penny. She's also fun, funny, empathetic, direct, focused and doesn't waste time on stuff that we won't use. So must stuff I learned in other classes was useless in practicing every day living in France. Not with Geraldine. She really knows how to merge the French language with the every day living in this culture. I only wish I'd found her sooner and hadn't wasted so much time and money on classes that left me more confused and insecure than confident and proud of my progress.Posted on Google Nina CoatesMay 6, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd learned French with a few teachers since arriving into France 6 years ago. As a professional teacher myself, I found that I was disappointed in the standard of the teachers at the language school I went to, Alpadia, plus the private teachers. I found that I was tutoring the teachers on how they could actually teach. I was demotivated and disappointed. I was paying for costly classes and progressing little. And then ... I began learning with Géraldine Jay Language Solutions. She is a real professional teacher with decades of experience working in French education. I 've finally found a teacher whom I'm genuinely inspired to learn French with. Each class is organised and has a clear structure and learning objective. I'm actually enjoying speaking and feel much more confident...all thanks to Géraldine.Posted on Google Sally BomerApril 5, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Géraldine is an excellent teacher, engaging and fun person, and very fluent in English, which means you can ask her anything about French/English grammar, comprehension or speech, and she can explain it. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Jackson HaywoodJuly 17, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geraldine has been incredible. She is clear, engaging, and encouraging. She really makes an effort to tailor your lessons to you personally and lessons never feel like school.Posted on Google Alexandra LeinJuly 10, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Géraldine is my French teacher since 2 month. She is very experienced, engaged, reliable and highly professional. The quality of the French course is excellent. I have already improved my French level a lot. The French course is tailored to one`s individual needs - including Business French. She has a lot of learning material at home. It is an advantage that she is also fluent in English and has international knowledge, having lived abroad for several years. I highly recommend Géraldine as a French teacher and it´s a pleasure to work with her.Posted on Google Joann Buckley CollinsJuly 3, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I studied French with Geraldine for about 5 weeks online, and then 4 weeks in person in Lyon. I came in with some base knowledge of the language, but working with her really improved my conversational skills and my confidence with speaking and listening in French tremendously. She was able to explain French grammar concepts in a clear and simple way. Things that had eluded me even after multiple years of French classes as a younger person suddenly made sense. She was also able to tailor the classes for me each day to talk about what was going on in the news, or what I was going to be doing (learning how to talk about wine when I was about to go on a wine tour, learning how to talk about French politics when it was in the news, etc.) which was extremely useful.Posted on Google Ilaria KantorovaJuly 3, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geraldine Jay is absolutely fantastic teacher with great sense of humour and really nice program how to go inside French language.
