"I would highly recommend Soline. I had the full immersion experience with great teaching, wonderful outings, first class accommodations and the pleasure of spending time with her family. I found the small town of Volvic to be very historic and interesting. This was a first class experience."

Charles (Australia)

"I cannot thank Soline and her lovely family enough for creating such wonderful memories for me in Volvic.The fascinating history of the town, the volcano tours, the water story, the food, art and landscape, not to mention my increasing confidence in the French language, all made for a wonderful stay.
The format of teaching French in an immersive setting is to be highly commended. The extra activities that Soline organised, together with her charm, grace and teaching ability, made my whole French immersion experience great value for money."

"What an amazing week! If you want to improve your french and break out of your current plateau, do not hesitate to spend at least one week with Soline. As an intermediate french speaker, I am looking for ways to supplement my classic french lessons, and this is a fantastic way to do this. After one week I was speaking with more fluidity and I had a better comprehension of the trickier french grammar points, cherry on the top is the accomadation, very nicely styled and very comfortable.

You will not regret a second of your stay with Soline."

Caroline (US)

"Je suis revenue pour la deuxième fois pour une semaine d’immersion avec Soline. Comme ma première immersion l’année précédente, c’était une excellente expérience. Soline est une excellente instructrice et une hôte formidable. Elle a fait deux randonnées avec moi dans la magnifique région du Puy-de-Dôme . Je recommande fortement d’étudier avec Soline pour améliorer votre français et pour profiter d’une merveilleuse visite de la région."

"This week was the highlight of our three weeks in France. From the moment Soline picked us up at the train station to when she dropped us off for our car rental, she was encouraging and accommodating. In our formal lessons, she was able to accommodate our very different skill levels by using games and activities that were both fun and challenging. (...)

I cannot more highly recommend this experience: French immersion lessons, afternoon excursions and comfortable accommodations right beside our host."

David & Wendy (UK)

"Of course everyone’s reasons for learning French are different, but Soline’s flexible approach allows for each Immersion Course to be customised to guest’s needs and priorities."

Peter (US)

"My stay with Soline and her family was fantastic. I am a relative beginner at French, but Soline shaped the lessons to match my skills. I worked hard everyday, but made great progress, and had fun doing it. Every afternoon Soline served a wonderful dejeuner. We were often joined by her partner and two boys who welcomed me in to their home and family.

If you are interested in improving your French, I would highly recommended a week or two of French immersion with Soline."

Yvonne (Australia)

"Soline was a very patient teacher and so easy to get on with. Studying French with Soline was completely different to classes I’ve taken before. Each morning we spoke in French and it was practical, real, and useful. I feel much more confident in speaking and listening in French thanks to her. The lessons were hands on, good fun and tailored to my needs"

Sarah & Devin (US)

"Learning (and relearning) a new language is not easy or quick, but the week with Soline improved my ability to communicate in ways that self-study never could and has inspired me to keep working at it. I'm so grateful for the experience and the progress I made. Merci beaucoup, Soline!"

"A Wonderful French Immersion in Volvic with Soline!
I have been dreaming of doing some kind of French immersion for years and I finally decided to treat myself. Looking back, I reflect upon my good fortune in having chosen French In Context in Volvic and Soline as my teacher. She is an excellent teacher with the patience of a saint, but she is also such a lovely and interesting person. I wanted to improve my French conversation and this meant Soline had to endure my halting attempts to find long lost words. Soline speaks with such a perfect French accent and really clear diction. She spoke to me at just the right pace for me to understand. I felt like I was in very capable hands as far as French instruction goes, but there was the added pleasure of getting to know Soline a little as we discussed all manner of topics. Her patience and gentle encouragement gave me confidence and my French definitely improved."
