After a long expatriation with his family in the United States, Antoine Gentil returns to France. It is then that he is struck by the excellent command of English and the perfect accent of his little sisters: he realizes the beneficial effect of total immersion in the process of learning a foreign language in a young child. So why not offer language immersion at home?
The idea saw fruition in 2009
After a master's degree "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" at ESCP-Europe, Antoine Gentil decided to create Speaking-agency with his friend and colleague Julien Viaud. Today, Speaking-agency is the leader in its market for childcare in foreign languages and home language courses with native speakers or bilingual speakers. The SME worksin nine cities in France and offers workshops in public schools as part of the reform of school timetables.
