We have an average class size of 5 to 8 students all through the year (10 from June to September) and this allows teachers time to focus on the individual students. Our teachers give each student enough time to facilitate his/her personal progress. Interactive dynamics in small-sized groups help students improve their communication skills.
Our courses are organised to involve our students in a task-based, interactive and communicative dynamic. Our students' participation is enhanced through all learning skills. They may get involved in different immersion, integration or creativity projects (meeting local inhabitants, visiting schools, creative writing, etc.).
Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Student comments about One-to-One Package 8
Jean
"My one on one class was perfect for me since my level of expertise is very uneven due to the fact that I have studied it on my own. Both teachers were excellent and very knowledgeable about the language, as well as flexible with regard to meeting times and places. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I will definitely recommend this school to friends and hope to be back in the future myself.

Student comments about Homestay
Megan
"I had a bit of a unique situation with another student on arrival. There weren't any families available for the full 12 weeks we signed up for, so we were placed together with one family for the first two weeks, and then moved to others (separated) for the rest of the time. The first family was perfect, always there for us if we needed them; they showed us areas of the city and region, explaining French culture and exposing us to lots of different foods. Very much like a family. The second family was more hands-off, giving me a room on arrival, and then I only saw them at dinner every day. Breakfast was self-serve. I ended up changing families as I needed more contact that I had become used to with the first one. The school was very understanding and worked hard to quickly find me another family - one that had consistently high ratings from students - and the one they found was perfect. I already had a high level of French (B2/C1 level), so we chatted a lot at dinners and throughout the day if I was home in the afternoon. It was a very positive experience with them. Bit of a journey with the host families, but the school always worked very quickly to remedy any issue I had."

Student opinions about Tours Langues, Tours
Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.

“I chose Tours Langues particularly because it is located in a city where English is not commonly utilized. I also chose this school because of its small size; there were about a dozen students or so while I was there, and my classes ranged from 2 - 7 students, so I certainly was able to get attention and assistance from the teachers.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Students should certainly visit the nearby castles during the weekend. That was a highlight of my stay in Tours.

Megan
33 years“Everyone was always very kind and helpful. It was like a family atmosphere. Teachers, staff and the owner of the school included. I felt supported from the moment I arrived, and I was there for 12 weeks from Oct-Dec 2023.”
“Not a lot of resources outside the classes. Some shelves of DVDs and books to borrow in a couple classrooms, but that's about it.
Also, if you're not at the level of one of the currently ongoing classes, your only option is private lessons, which cut your hours in half. It's a very small school, so there are often only a handful of classes, and they're mostly at the beginner/low-intermediate level, so for advanced learners you'll likely be in private lessons at half the hours like I was. ”

Quality of teaching / language progress: My one on one class was perfect for me since my level of expertise is very uneven due to the fact that I have studied it on my own. Both teachers were excellent and very knowledgeable about the language, as well as flexible with regard to meeting times and places. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I will definitely recommend this school to friends and hope to be back in the future myself.

Questions and answers about Tours Langues
- What is the Erasmus number?“E10187712. After registration, your Erasmus documents can also be signed if you need them before you arrive.”Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 13, 2023
- I am looking for an Erasmus language course at level B1. What activities are planned for May?“We do not plan activities/excursions a month in advance. It's still too early to know exactly what we'll be visiting this week. We accept students every week and we talk to them to find out what they would like to do or see. Therefore, our planning is always short-term. But for sure we will visit a château (probably Chenonceau or Villandry château, because the gardens are beautiful in May) or Leonardo Da Vinci's house. The activities always take place on Friday afternoons.”Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 13, 2023
