our story
The Turner Learning Center (TLC) was founded in 2003 by Frank and Marina Duchêne.
Their goal was to provide a structured and viable English Language Learning Service for their children’s English language Learning,
to ensure they are proficient upon leaving high school.
Knowing that it takes 1200 hours of academic exposure, in a one to one setting, to reach proficiency, the complexity of managing long term objectives had to be put into place.
TLC created their unique English Language Learning management system based on the acquisition of 120 credits allowing teachers and learners to monitor their learning easily.
With our management team working from France, England and Greece as well as our teaching team of 55+ teachers (living all over the world), our extensive curriculum comprised of 35 potential courses, our online homework solutions and our effective testing and assessing tools, we presently teach over 650 students in individual and group settings, either face to face or online, all over France.

about us
WHAT WE DO:
Speaking English proficiently is not something that just happens, it is the result of a combination of goal setting, regular evaluation and academic exposure. However, with structure and viability long term goals reach fruition.
There are many ways this objective can be achieved:
- - Face to face one to one setting in the student’s
- - Home ONLINE one to one setting
- - Face to face in a small group setting
- - ONLINE in a small group setting
But they all have one thing in common:
To speak English Proficiently students need to reach C2 of the CEFR. To get there they will need to acquire 120 credits while moving up 6 different CEFR levels (A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2)

HOW WE DO IT
about us
HOW WE DO IT
We assess our students:
Our students are assessed:
At the beginning: every student has a baseline Test to establish how much English they know and are attributed a number of credits accordingly.
During the academic year students are assessed internally to ensure that they have understood what has been taught.
At the end of every Cycle students are expected to validate their English Language Learning level by sitting internationally recognized English Language exams. These exams are taken outside of TLC, an independence that guarantees the quality of our teaching.
We advise our students:
Our Students which curriculum would be most appropriate for their needs and long-term objectives. There are 8 possible objectives and 8 possible curriculums at TLC:
