I would like to thank you for the tuition you have given me over the past 6 years in small groups. You have given me lots of confidence in speaking and this I could see for myself during the language course, held in Lucca. Many thanks Jane.
I should very much like to take this opportunity of recommending Jane Froehlich as a language teacher. I have spent several very happy and interesting years learning Italian under her tuition in a group and I am only ending these lessons due to health problems. I shall continue to study and practise on my own as I really enjoy the challenge. Do make a start, or brush up, on learning a language. I know that you will thoroughly enjoy it. Contact Jane NOW and happy studying.
Having Jane as a tutor has really helped our understanding of the structure of the language rather than just learning sentences. Jane is very dedicated and ensures that you continue to push forward in your language skills whilst being patient to other demands on your life. As mature students with full time work this has been very helpful and we could not have accomplished the level of knowledge we did without her help and understanding.
Paul and I started lessons with Jane as complete beginners and have very much enjoyed getting to grips with the basics of Italian. Jane was able to address our differing needs very well and it was lovely to have ‘one-to-one’ sessions as we felt we progressed quickly. There is a good mix of reading, writing and listening and being able to have conversations/lessons spoken in Italian really helped. The homework was challenging but not onerous and Jane is very supportive as a teacher.
We have learned Italian with Jane for 2 years. Her lessons are structured and varied and include grounding in grammar. They are also heavily geared towards being useful as a tourist. Having been to Italy this year, I found I could make myself understood in Italian and also understand the majority of the responses back! This enormously increased my enjoyment of the holiday.
I have found Jane Froehlich to be a thoroughly well prepared and effective teacher of Italian to a group of adults. I have attended various Italian courses at different institutions and am most delighted with the tuition I have received from Jane. Her lessons are structured to include a good level of variety to sustain interest with a balance of speaking, listening and written activities supported by a promotion of useful vocabulary and understanding of grammar. Consequently I find myself motivated to pursue my study between lessons and feel that my progress has largely been due to Jane’s skilful teaching.
I attended the above course taught by Jane Froehlich and thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the course. Jane was always punctual and lessons were well planned, well presented and varied. Given the relatively small amount of teaching time (2 hours per week) Jane covered a lot of topics/grammar and I would have no hesitation in recommending Jane to anyone wishing to learn Italian.
I attended this course which started in September 2013 and found that it met all my expectations. The range of previous experience of Italian within the group was quite wide and Jane was able to adapt her teaching to suit individuals. She ensured that students were not always working the same groupings and adapted tasks and questions to suit different abilities. She provided extra support and encouragement for those who needed it whilst also providing challenge for more able learners. Each lesson contained a mix of speaking, listening, reading and writing activities with a good balance of vocabulary and grammar work built in. Games and role plays were used effectively to enhance learning.
I took some Italian classes with various other groups and teachers but decided that I needed to concentrate my efforts. I had taken some French classes with Jane and swapped these to Italian. Thanks to Jane, I am now getting to grips with the language. Her preparation for lessons is second to none: she is organised and professional, and knows exactly how to move lessons along for your own individual needs. I have also attended a small group of people for Italian conversation, and these have been great fun. We have just returned from a trip to Italy which was superbly planned, fulfilling, interesting, and has taken my Italian to a new level. I can personally recommend Jane for French and Italian, and I know she is fluent in German. She is amazing!
Jane has taught me Italian for 3 years, and French for nearly 2 years. I have enjoyed the tuition both in small groups and in one-to-one lessons, I have always been impressed with Jane’s approach to the lessons, which are always very well prepared and suited to my needs. I have never considered myself a natural linguist, but Jane has helped me gain lots of confidence in both languages.
