Alpha.b Institut Linguistique

Alpha.b Institut Linguistique is located at 2 rue d'Angleterre in central Nice, occupying a private mansion two minutes from Avenue Jean Médecin and within a short walk of the Promenade des Anglais. The school has operated since 1993 and has taught more than 40,000 students from 80 countries across its history. All classes have a maximum of 10 students.

Combining group and private French lessons

The course range is extensive. General French study is offered in Continuous, Intensive and Combined formats, the last of which layers individual private lessons on top of a group morning programme at four levels of private tuition intensity. Formal qualification preparation covers DELF and DALF examinations, as well as the DFP, for which alpha.b operates as an on-site examination centre. School-leaving examination preparation is offered for A-Level, German Abitur, and the Irish Leaving Certificate. Age-specific programmes serve family groups with children aged 9 to 15, teenagers aged 16 and over, and adult cohorts specifically structured for learners aged 30-plus and 50-plus.

A combined course is useful for learners who want the interaction of a regular group and concentrated time with an instructor. For examination candidates, the private part can focus on a particular task, such as organising an argument in writing.
