The Language Experience is based in Colchester, Essex and was founded by Véronique and Ian Pearson. We have been successfully providing bespoke language solutions for over 12 years.

We have helped students with varying ambitions from gaining qualifications to conversing with the locals on holiday or starting a new dream life abroad.

Our tutors are experienced native French speakers who are dedicated to help you achieve your goals and make your experience pleasurable.

Véronique is a French national and a graduate of the University of Essex where she studied a variety of European Modern Languages and Linguistics.

It was here that she developed the idea of focusing on authenticity to allow her students to learn their chosen language 'as if they were there'.

Ian is also a graduate of the University of Essex and spent ten years in the insurance industry in the City of London.

He joined the Language Experience full time in 2008, focusing on business development.
