For those visiting France’s Gourmet Region for the first time Burgundy offers a rare treat, for those who have visited many times before we are sure you will find something different.

The variety of Burgundy is its heart and soul. From bustling towns on market day, tiny streets running through the middle of a wine village, the serenity of the Morvan Nature Park with its multitude of streams and rivers like shimmering veins running through its green body. You will find villages that time seems to have glanced at and decided they were perfect so left them alone. Lakes that suddenly appear and take over the landscape with their sun reflected bodies. You’ll hear the cry of the buzzard as he shouts out his warning, hey this is my place, leave it alone, but the cry is not for you. This is the land that drives poets to pick up their pencils, artists to prepare their canvas and make sure they have enough shades of green and blue.

In short Burgundy is what dreams are made of, time slips by unnoticed and then, at the end of the day a gentle aperitif under a fading sun followed by food and wine that gets the poets pen moving yet again. Bliss.

English tuition for your child, no matter where you live.

Sue Aitken (Director) talks about Blackhen Education.

When did Blackhen Education start? August 2010

Why did Blackhen Education start? After moving to France we recognized the importance of English speaking children maintaining their English skills. As a result, Blackhen Education was formed. We wanted to offer children, where ever they might live in France, the opportunity to develop and maintain their English.

What did you do before you started Blackhen Education? Both my partner Andy and I had been teachers in the UK for 20 years. We had experience of teaching both Primary and Secondary aged children, as well as being A’ level examiners for Edexcel.

What do you offer at Blackhen? English courses (Ages 5 – 14)
For this age group we offer study packs that focus on reading and writing skills, as well as exploring fiction and non-fiction texts. Our lessons are topic based and allow for research and discovery of British history and culture.

IGCSE English Language / IGCSE English Literature (Age 14+)
Both of these subjects follow a two year course with the Edexcel examination board. There is no course work for either course and students sit two written exams in the final year. Both IGCSEs are recognised by UK universities and colleges.

What makes you different? All of our courses are online. Study packs can be bought individually, or as part of a year’s course. This allows your child to work at their own pace. Some of our students arrange to take our study packs into school, to work on during their English lessons. This is a popular option.

What is next for Blackhen? 2012 has been a very busy year. Blackhen has grown considerably, partly due to our introduction of IGCSE English Literature. This has proved very popular. Due to a number of enquiries we will also be offering IGCSE English courses to adults this year. We are also launching a new range of one off study packs ‘Blackhen Basics’, that focus on grammar, punctuation and spelling skills.
The next 12 months are looking to be very busy and exciting!

For more information about our courses you can contact us at: sue@blackheneducation.com

or visit our website:

You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter

10% discount on registration with Blackhen if you mention BritFrance before end of December.
