Testimonials

Our facilitator Annabelle runs the Live, Learn and Speak in France 5-day French Course locally in Bellac and we wanted to share some of the wonderful reviews received:

TaMzin

This was a thoroughly enjoyable week, with a huge amount of subjects covered. We even managed a field trip into Limoges.  Many different techniques were employed to build up knowledge and understanding of the French language from real time French guides in the museum to videos, speaking, writing and quizzes. All geared to increase knowledge and confidence. The time went incredibly fast. Thank you.

Your French language course was excellent and has given me confidence to speak French in circumstances I would otherwise have struggled in. It was a small group class with a friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back for more.

ABBIE

I highly recommend this course. Annabelle is extremely personable and had us fully engaged the whole time. I learnt so much in 5 days and feel 100% more confident going forward.I thoroughly enjoyed the course and am looking forward to signing up for another Thanks to all at Assist – Virtual Support Solutions

I am a difficult one to teach as I have dyslexia and a fear of the classroom, however, Annabelle’s courses are so friendly, casual and we have fun whilst learning I didn’t feel that fear.  She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable and you learn without realising it.  I really enjoyed the course and found it incredibly useful.  I have certainly come along in my French and my confidence using my French after attending.  Thank you Annabelle.

AMANDA

I have just completed the A1+/A2 intensive French course with Annabelle and was so pleased with all that I learnt. Annabelle was a very patient encouraging teacher and we covered a large amount of information and the course was paced just right. I feel my French grammar has vastly improved and my pronunciation is better too. I would thoroughly recommend Annabelle to all looking to improve their French language skills. She tailored the course to my needs as well as accommodating the needs of the other participant. A very worthwhile investment of time and money.

Thank you to all the attendees for their kind words.

Thank you, Natalie at Assist-Virtual Support Solutions.

She has been so helpful, kind and patient with me, helping educate me on how to set up and run my art business, I couldn’t have done it without her help. I have been shown step by step and now can move forward confidently, again thank you.

As founder and CEO of a high growth tech-based start up, I was looking for support with social media planning, emails, meetings and administration.

However, as all start up founders know, the team required to remain lean and financial resources were limited.

We were seeking a value for money but high-quality service.

That’s when I started to work with Assist.

Their knowledge around LinkedIn and their expertise in diary planning and travel coordination saved me a heap of time, quite a bit of stress and allowed us to continue to grow and scale.

I believe this is an excellent solution, particularly for modern, remote teams, and is flexible enough to align with a business through those early stages.

Thank you again Nat and Claudia for a great few years, what a journey!

I’m just dropping you a line to express how pleased I’ve been with your company’s services and especially the work of your colleague Angèle.

In what has been a stressful time for my wife and I Angèle has been informative, helpful, and reassuring – but perhaps more importantly has assisted in a painless reintroduction to the French healthcare system, a resolution to an unfounded 16k tax bill from the impôts, and the slightly complicated application for my carte de séjour.

I would like to go on record as being extremely pleased with the work that Angèle has done on our behalf and to reassure you that I would definitely recommend your services to others.

Angèle has been a marvellous ambassador for your organisation.

Where to start? What an incredible service from Natalie and Angèle – spectacularly efficient and they’ve lifted us out of a very dark and stressful time.

Angèle has been incredible and I think we are almost there with our VISA amendments and carte de séjour! 

I would not hesitate to recommend the team at Assist Virtual Support Solutions. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts xxx 

Assist Virtual Support Solutions was an amazing experience from start to finish.

Our website was updated with the help of Wil who did a fantastic job. Claudia and Natalie were attentive to the needs of our Chambre d’hotes business, they provided information that fed into the website and designed our new business cards.

They were professional at all times and extremely efficient.

I would fully recommend Assist Virtual Support Solutions.

We struck Gold at Assist! And were so fortunate to find Claudia and Natalie after our dear brother’s passing in France last year.

What with Covid worldwide and us living in Australia unable to speak French, it was Assist who helped us through an immense crisis. “Assist” is what they do – perfectly.

There was no job too large or too small for them and they handled everything beautifully with great attention to detail.

They assisted us with understanding French laws, the organization of the funeral, music, an order of service, the wake afterwards; then just recently assisted with the scattering of our brother’s ashes. They also made up a lovely keepsake in the form of a photo slide-show for those of us who could not be in France for the funeral.

We cannot speak highly enough of Claudia and Natalie at Assist who approached every task with kindness and grace. 

Thank you so much Assist for all your help.

Highly recommend both Claudia & Natalie.

Brilliant support for my new business, couldn’t have done it without them.

Thanks ladies

A delight to work with. Very efficient, helpful and good value. We continue to be very impressed by their service.

I cannot recommend Assist enough.

After my father-in-law died suddenly last year. Natalie, in particular went out of her way to help us with everything we had to do.

She helped us with organising the collection of the body from the hospital, organising appointments at the funeral home in Bellac and helping us with all the arrangements necessary. She liaised with the church and helped us during the meeting and of course helped us with the mountain of paperwork.

Even on the day of the funeral she and her husband Charles Hodencq helped out with everything from translating the service to just being there for us.

Natalie even took the time to design and print out the order of service for us.

Natalie also arranged a meeting with the local notaire and come to translate for us.

Thank you so much Assist for all your help.

“What a brilliant service! Prompt response times and the combined skills of technical and creative give an all round efficient VA service.”

I have spent my career working for large corporate companies across the globe, which means being able to work under significant pressure every day, being able to stay organised and to manage my workload and meetings across a number of time zones.

Assist has meant I am able to apply my focus where it’s needed most, and trust that I have a team of professionals backing me up and providing me with a reliable, quality service that can work independently and keep me informed. Thank you to Assist for making my life easier!

We needed a lot of help with our Carte Vitale application and Assist – Virtual Support Solutions were brilliant! Thanks to Angèle for her immediate response to our email and her expertise in understanding and assisting us with the paperwork. I’d happily recommend this service to all.

Their own description of the services rendered to our new online venture listed ‘organising, designing and creating posts for social media, daily posting to Facebook and Instagram including My Story, weekly postings to Twitter and analysis’ to demonstrate this market effectiveness.

They did much more. Their initiative opened up the whole media sector to us and in the process, educated and guided our future course in this important marketing sector.

Tangible results were obvious. Nearly 50% enquiries from the USA when we discovered a glitch in the dispatch software. Result after the fix was our first orders from New York.

In Dubai, our online reputation was reinforced with particular reference to ASSIST encouragement in ‘Blog’ writing and the consequent media exposure and the perception of our company was enhanced to the level that a major wholesale customer is now engaged and awaiting supply when the Coved emergency is over.

I cannot recommend them more strongly for their insight, reliability, ability in a range of administrative fields and their enthusiasm on behalf of their clients.
