One teacher was really professional, giving good structured lessons.
An other teacher, so it seemed, was just teaching anything without a clear concept.

One of the worlds best surf sites is really the big advantage of Biarritz.
The town is great and beside good clubs and nice restaurants it offers some cultural activities (e.g. exhibitions, music festivals,...)
But the season is definitely over by the end of September.

As I already took a french class once in Montpellier I have something to compare with. So what was poor in this school in Biarritz is that there were only 2!!! different levels / classes!! Hence students with different levels have been in one class together. This does not help anybody. For some students with low level the teaching was to fast and the ones with advanced level do not really improve their knowledge because you always have to wait until the teacher explained to the low level ones.

Ma mere d`accueil est tres sympa! Elle s`appelle Violette Benros. Elle cuisine tres bien et ma chambre etait propre et clair. C`est assez loin du centre et de la plage, mais ca prend que 10 min pour aller a l`ecole. Merci beaucoup!
