 French Helpline
*After storm damage to our French property I contacted Deborah at French- Helpline to act as a negotiator with our French insurance company. Deborah very effectively and efficiently tracked down who I had to deal with and established an email link. Through this link I was able to have a large tree removed, repairs agreed on the roof and a new shed ordered to replace the one that was blown away. I will certainly be using French- Helpline should I need further assistance. Bridget
*Very impressive service! With your help and friendly personality, it has made the very daunting procedure of buying a property abroad very simple and stress free. From a simple translation to arranging a visit of a tradesman or organizing the delivery of our furniture, all have been done promptly and professionally but with a personal touch. I would highly recommend Deborah Cheney from French Helpline.Thanks once again,Ian from Hertfordshire - South of France
* After successfully purchasing an apartment in France (Nr. Montpellier) we had the seemingly insurmountable problem of organising the connections of all the utilities (with very little French).Then we found Deborah and all our worries evaporated. She organised us and liaised with the Electricity, Telephone Companies etc and. translated all the formal documents for us. All the connections were made and direct debits set-up, within a matter of days. We then set about buying furniture and with Deborah’s help the delivery and installation of the white goods went very smoothly. To be honest without Deborah we would probably still be in our apartment, sitting on the floor without light and eating a take-away. We are eternally grateful thank you. Len & Maria Arnold from Enfield/Montpellier.
* I have been learning French with Deborah since September 2006 and hope to continue to learn with her for a long time to come. My main reason for learning the language is because of my passion for France. I holiday there every year with my family and make frequent visits to Paris. I hope to one day have a property there and I would not hesitate in involving Deborah in my hunt for the perfect home. I know she would be a great help to me when sorting out all the legalities of buying a property in France; of which there are many. I visited Brittany this year and a number of French people commented on how well I spoke the language. This was the best thing anyone could have said to me. I look forward to my weekly lessons; it is an enjoyable and fun hour with a patient, fun and professional teacher. Jane from London
French And Spanish Tuition
* "At the start of my first GCSE year I had been predicted a grade E for my overall GCSE mark for French. However with the help of Deborah I found that I was capable of gaining a much higher grade and my final GCSE mark was an A. During the lessons I was encouraged to speak more French which in turn helped me with my pronunciation and my listening skills which all contributed to my final grade. I also found it beneficial that Deborah was confident that I could gain a higher grade and was also enthusiastic about teaching French which I felt had become rarity amongst teachers. The lessons had both a combination of being educational and fun which I believe assisted me in gaining a high grade at GCSE as I became more at ease with the language and felt that making a mistake was ok to do as I could then learn from it. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone that needed or wanted to learn or improve on their French as she is both confident and encouraging towards her students which is an important quality needed for teaching but is rarely found." Angela, GCSE student, from Enfield
* Deborah is an exception teacher, with enormous charisma as well as academic ability. She always presents well prepared and interesting lessons, lots of group participation and enjoyable activities. Deborah shows real interest in her students - failure is not in her vocabulary! All Deborah's learners complete their courses successfully. And importantly, the quality of the teaching is such that it can be put into practice immediately. If you want to visit france for a holiday, or are thinking of having a holiday home there, Deborah's courses are guaranteed to give you the skills you need to communicate effectively in France" Frances, Beginner student from Tottenham
* "I have been receiving French tuition from Deborah over the last several months. During this time, my French has improved tremendously and most importantly my confidence has increased. I am much more confident now in engaging in conversation whilst on holiday in France. Previously I would have been uncomfortable doing this.Deborah's style is very relaxed and informal, which makes the learning "easier". So much so, my son now has a weekly lesson with Deborah and my daughter will follow shortly!" Jo, French Conversation from Enfield
 French & Spanish Language Club
* "I am very keen to get my children to learn a foreign language at an early age and I find that they enjoy attending the classes at Ecole Nicole run by Deborah Cheney . Her method of introducing the language through colouring and pictures and calendar related topics is fun for the children so that they are learning without really knowing it and it is encouraging to hear them say the odd French word occasionally and singing the French songs." Antoinette Doyle, Parent to 6 and 4 year old
* "Deborah began to teach Benson when he was 3 years old. Deborah made me and Benson feel very at ease and within just a few sessionsBenson was already counting to 10 in French, her approach to teaching is one
that revolves around "learning while having fun" and really does work. I even learn't a few things which has helped me to progress with Benson. Benson is just turning 6 now and responds well to basic prompts in French, and is able to put together small sentences...when he wants to!!!!! He genuinely enjoys his weekly lesson. Fantastic!!!!!! Would recommend her to anyone.
Many Thanks
