REGIONAL LICENSEE OF THE YEAR...
Huge congratulations to SIAN ELIN JONES who has been awarded Licensee of the Year for the South West & Wales.
Sian joined La Jolie Ronde back in 2013 with just 14 pupils. She has steadily grown her business to now teach around 90 course pupils each week, in 3 schools and continues to have new pupils joining every term.
Sian's enthusiasm for teaching French is evident. Her outstanding classes flow professionally, without disruption and are dynamic, appropriately timed and great fun. Her pupils display a brilliant command of language and attention to pronunciation is accurate and acute. Her lessons are delivered in a manner that does not simply just 'meet with' but surpasses expectations in all categories!
A double celebration for Sian as she also received her 5 year service award. Many congratulations Sian, you truly deserve this award and we look forward to working with you for many more years to come.
