I am delighted to see my former star student (and our top graduate in French) Liz Hayes putting to such good use her formidable mastery of the French language, not to mention her passion and her skills as a teacher. Inspired and inspiring, she engages 100% with her students and is capable of bringing out the very best in them while still making the learning experience supremely enjoyable. A rare and exceptional motivator, extremely attuned and responsive to her students’ needs.Bravo et bon succès à Frenchnotes.ie!

Elizabeth Lyne Hayes is an excellent teacher. My son, while bright did not engage with the subject in school and we decided to send him to the French Notes classes. What we found was a teacher who was professional in her approach to teaching but more specifically the French language. Elizabeth made the subject interesting and relevant, the result being that my laid back son changed his attitude to learning French. Elizabeth’s handouts and notes were at all times clear and well researched. Indeed she produced a range of packages to suit students who had different interests to help with essay writing. These included up to date and relevant topics on politics, the economy, and social and cultural issues. She also had a way of getting the best out of every student she came into contact with even the most laid back of her students. Our son got an excellent result in his leaving certificate but it was his attitude to learning that has left its mark for ever.

My daughter has found French notes to be a very useful companion to her Leaving Cert French studies and revision. The website is very easy to navigate and my daughter found the diary entries, verb drills and vocabulary sections to be very beneficial to her revision plan. We would have no hesitation in recommending French Notes as a study aid to any student.

I was delighted with my A1 last year and I don’t think that I would have achieved this result without your help. I found the notes on the written section excellent and my class mates had nothing like them.

I have been a member of Frenchnotes for a year and have found it to be an invaluable resource. Having had 3 sixth year groups this year it gave me a multitude of ways and ideas of how to present the material to all levels. The sample answers are written in a clear and accessible manner and all come with a very useful section containing the key constructions and vocabulary.

I was very happy to see comprehensions that are linked to several key areas of the course such as drugs in sport and the housing crisis. This is something that would take hours to compile.

One of the things that impressed me the most was how current frenchnotes is. The topics of fake news and the mobile phone ban which featured on this year’s leaving cert paper were covered by frenchnotes this year.

The grammar is presented in a very student friendly way. There are also plenty of exercises to reinforce the material. The integration of grammar and comprehensions that is furnished on frenchnotes is a fantastic way to learn.

The sample postcards and notes for Junior cert are very useful for revision.

Having corrected both Junior cert and Leaving cert French I would highly recommend frenchnotes to all teachers and students. If you want your finger on the pulse for everything topical in leaving cert French look no further than frenchnotes.
