Build confidence
​
Learning foreign languages at secondary school is a very different experience from primary. A weekly top-up, to go over new concepts, help with homework or plug any holes in understanding, can go a long way to smoothing the transition. Students will experience a practical blend of conversation, phonics & spelling, vocabulary building, writing skills and, most importantly, enjoyment!
