From privately-tutored adults
“Gratitude for conversations with Ghada:
extremely varied, as language is a living thing, but there is a plan!
vocabulary – enriched
grammar – improved
a greater appreciation of language and culture
Result: more confidence in my ability to speak French.
It has to be said that the above is usually accompanied by hoots of laughter.
All in all, a generous sharing.
Vive french@leschampions.co.uk!” Gillian, Great Paxton
“I’ve only just started my lessons but Ghada’s lessons have helped me understand French grammar much better. She is a patient teacher and always explains everything thoroughly. With Ghada’s help I hope to improve my French speaking skills enough so I can communicate in French by this summer when we’re on holiday in France!” Mrs T. Tubbs (St Neots)
“Ghada, I think anybody wishing to learn French would benefit from lessons with you. You have so much patience, your lessons are interesting and relevant and you note so many alternative words and phrases when we are speaking we cannot help but widen our vocabulary. Sometimes it is amazing that you can figure out what either one of us are trying to say, but you work it out and then are able to teach us both to say it properly! We really appreciate your lessons and way of teaching. Merci beaucoup!” Mrs. C. B., St. Neots

“Ghada has provided French tuition to both my children through her volunteering at their primary school, where she has taught French to entire classes as well as to groups of children. Ghada was extremely successful in captivating the whole class through her love of languages, inspiring the children to use French vocabulary outside school and enabling them to speak French when on holiday in France. Ghada has an extremely positive attitude towards teaching and a wonderful ability to make the lessons fun and engaging through songs and games. I would thoroughly recommend her as a French teacher.” Mrs. Penny Norton
“Ghada’s teaching style is really warm and encouraging – her approach is careful and thorough but not at the expense of having fun. My daughter really enjoyed her lessons, especially all the songs. The lessons and home activities are really thoughtfully prepared but the pace is very much child-led – which is important after a full day of school! We would definitely recommend Les Champions, both for beginners and children who have already made a start with language learning.” Mrs. A. W.
From parents of privately-tutored, home-schooled, primary and secondary age students
“Our children have enjoyed French lessons with Ghada since March 2014. She has provided tailor made lessons for our home educated children covering a wide range of material and giving the kids a great foundation. They have enjoyed varied lessons using songs, reading and visual media. Thanks Ghada!” Mrs. L. A. (St Neots)
“Thank you for the time and attention you give to my children.” Mrs. J. R. (St Neots)

Facebook post – “I don’t normally advertise but if you are looking to learn or brush up on French I can highly recommend Ghada Chammas Yazigi. I have listened to [my daughter] Sophie progress over a short space of time and am so impressed I felt the need to share it with you. Ghada is very motivational, highly qualified and focuses on the correct pronunciation rather than rushing you through sentences. She will also try and fit in with your busy schedules too. I would not hesitate to recommend [her] to people at all levels of knowledge of the language.” Mrs. Charlotte Farrah (St Neots)
From parents of privately-tutored preschoolers
“My children are blossoming in Ghada Yazigi’s classes. She harmonizes solid pedagogy with a light-hearted –yet composed– style of teaching that is perfectly tailored to the needs of the class, in our case pre-schoolers. I will consult Mrs. Yazigi for whatever level or type of French expertise and instruction our objectives might include in future, from academic to professional.” Mrs S. Lloyd Parry, Cambridgeshire
Facebook post – “We would recommend your wonderful lessons to anyone Ghada.” Mrs. E. M. (St Neots)
“Thank you for making French fun.” Mrs. J. R. (St Neots)
“You are so very good at engaging with the children, the singing and the chatting and the actions [are] wonderful, I don’t know how you do it!” Mrs. E. G. (St Neots)
“Ghada is a fantastic teacher, very friendly and enthusiastic! My little girl loves going to her classes and seems to absorb everything she says. I was amazed when after just one lesson she knew all her colours in French. Highly recommended!” Mrs. C. B. (St Neots)
