Stories from happy parents

"I would not hesitate to recommend Zazou et Lilou to anyone looking for children’s French lessons. Dorée has been absolutely fantastic with my 4 year old son; French class at our home has been the highlight of his week.
Each class Dorée focusses on a different theme, tailoring it to the seasons or something that’s happening in my son’s life that week. Every session is filled with creative ideas ranging from sticking and drawing crafts to making animals out of food! All designed to engage and maintain a small person’s attention. Dorée has gone above and beyond in accommodating our needs with boundless energy and enthusiasm for her student.
The level of communication and follow up I’ve received regarding my son’s progress has been wonderful. We are provided with photos and videos of the class alongside activities for us to use as ‘homework’ to maintain consistency between each class.
I cannot sing their praises more highly! 5 stars!"
Amie - Greenwich
"Dorée is so patient with our son L., he benefits from that sort of attention and we think that he responds well to being in his own home. We are so happy we found you"
Cathy - Blackheath
