Revision Courses

I was at frenchnotes oral workshop at Easter. I found the notes really useful before oral and really enjoyed the class. They also helped me prepare for written exam. Thanks again Elizabeth for your worthwhile course.

I first came across Liz on Snapchat and this immediately caught my attention because I felt she seemed to be up to date and in touch with her students. I subsequently discovered that she ran workshops in Mary Immaculate College in Limerick covering specific topics in great depth with a booklet containing extremely beneficial notes each time. Despite having to travel 2 hours to each workshop I attended all twelve of them as well as a practical oral workshop prior to the oral exam. I think this indicates how highly I rate Liz. She is extremely invested and knowledgeable in the language of French. Her expertise and exam preparation down to the finest details ensures that students targeting a high grade in French will achieve their goal. I found her approachable, kind and helpful and always available even outside workshop times. Thank you so much Liz for all your help and hard work.

I just want to thank you so much for the workshops. They gave me so much more confidence in my french and my quality of writing increased so much! The small classes meant I learnt a lot more and I was able to participate more in the class in comparison to at school. I enjoyed every workshop and really saw the benefits in my exams and in my understanding of french. Thanks so much for everything.

I went to French lessons with Liz every Tuesday throughout 6th year and thoroughly enjoyed them. I learned so much in even just one lesson. I also did a workshop and learned new ways to remember verbs and vocabulary and also had the craic while doing so. Got excellent notes and worksheets too. Would definitely recommend!!

I found the French Notes revision courses extremely enjoyable and beneficial throughout 6th year. The focused courses once a month were very useful because I didn't have the time to attend weekly grinds.The content is challenging but it sets you up for the exam because when you practice leaving cert papers it seems a bit more manageable.

I began my studies with Liz in October, nervous and overly aware that my standard of French was perhaps not as high as many others who would be attending the course, however Liz's incredibly kind and caring nature made me feel welcome and at ease from the moment I reached Mary I. Her support for each of her students both inside and outside of the classroom was undeniable, helping us in any way possible- from answering our questions on social media to preparing us for the oral exam over the phone. Without Liz I could not have achieved the result that I did. Her fresh and unique teaching methods majorly improved my understanding of the language, transforming French from a subject I was struggling with to one of my strongest. I truly appreciate everything Liz has done to help me and I cannot recommend her highly enough to other students.

For me the French Notes revision courses saved my leaving cert French grade and really sparked an interest in learning the language. During each course Liz would explain and break down the most difficult aspects of the language to ensure we could understand and improve our aural, oral and writing skills for our exams. The environment of the courses was always friendly and Liz ensured we never felt under too much pressure. I cannot recommend these courses and Liz’s teaching enough! Without her I would have never achieved the grade I did!

My name is Sophie and I attended Frenchnotes.ie courses that are held in Mary I. I attended all 12 of the courses in 2017/2018 including the oral workshop and I think this shows how much I enjoyed and how beneficial I found this courses. I believe they were the only reason I achieved my H1 in French. The course content at the start was difficult but as they went on I found them easier and easier. This wasn’t because Liz was making them easier it was because my French was developing and improving. I loved the way that every course focused on a particular topic because once I left that room I knew that I had that part of the course covered. The small classroom sizes made sure everyone got Liz’s undivided attention throughout the four hours. I found Liz very helpful and understanding throughout all the courses. The booklets you receive at every course were very helpful as they included vocab, listening exercises, and grammar points all relating to the topic. Liz’s attention to detail with the booklets ensures every student reaches their highest potential and I would highly recommend these courses to anyone no matter the level of French you have. Thank you so much Liz for all your hard work.

Liz is one of the most inspiring teachers I have ever had. She transformed my French grade through her unmatched teaching and never ending support and not only gave me confidence in the fact that I could achieve what I wanted in French, but somehow gave me the assurance and certainty that I could succeed in every other subject too. I always looked forward to going to her classes even on the worst of days, because I knew that I’d come out in a better mood no matter what. This is something that is so unbelievably rare and that is the lifelong goal of so many teachers but comes so naturally to her. I attended both her weekly grinds and her intense revision courses and both were outstanding. She goes above and beyond for her students, she was always there to help at any time and I cannot thank her enough. If you are struggling and want the tools and guide to excel in French, I cannot recommend Liz more, my only regret is that I didn’t meet her sooner.

Thank you millions for everything, Sadhbh x
