Jo Picot is the club manager for LCF Fun Languages in the Kapiti Coast area.

I am a native French, born in Reunion Island where I studied English at Universite de la Reunion (France). I feel very passionate about children having a second language as the benefits are tremendous, it enhances their confidence, self-esteem and attention span (to name a few), but most of all it is FUN.

Having taught French to children in the UK, I am delighted to be offering French Clubs again in the Kapiti Coast to pre-school and primary school children.

Join our FUN Language Clubs to give your child a headstart! I offer a fun, interactive and positive environment through a carefully structured and proven course designed to stimulate children's natural enthusiasm for language and communication. .

Please contact me to register your interest.

I would be delighted to offer classes at your child's school. This can be arranged by mutual consent between your child's principal, availability of rooms at the school and numbers of children interested.
