Language lessons in France

Charlotte is a superb instructor. I took classes with her at her home for several months to improve my public speaking skills. During each session, Charlotte helped me work on my tone and delivery through various public speaking exercises. Charlotte asked me to prepare short written assignments before our meetings, so that I could practice delivering my script using various speaking techniques during the class. For these assignments, Charlotte was very engaged and made sure that the assignments would assist me in my specific professional goals. She did this by tailoring the subject matter to my professional work - mostly legal and political matters - and she pushed me to consider what I wanted to achieve from my audience with each speaking opportunity. Charlotte, however, is not only a skilled professional. She is also a tremendously kind, energetic and dynamic person to work with. She made me feel comfortable sharing my vulnerabilities, which made the process of receiving constructive feedback a fun and welcomed experience. She encouraged me to practice my public speaking in French - which is not my first language - and made me feel at ease. She is kind, understanding and an incredibly nice person. If you are looking for a professional who is dedicated to helping you improve, welcomes your goals and ideas, and who is a pleasure to meet with each week - then look no further than Charlotte.

I cannot recommend Jade highly enough. I had three lessons with her during my visit to Paris, focusing on listening comprehension and my pronunciation and grammar, in a very informal, conversational sort of way. She was very encouraging and incredibly patient with my listening difficulties, good at finding multiple ways to say things until I could understand. She listens intently and her corrections are very gentle and with good humor. She also had many wonderful suggestions of exercises to do to improve on my own time. She's interested in language itself too, and had interesting anecdotes about the structure and etymology of French that made it easier for me to remember certain vocabulary or rules. She's a wonderful teacher and a fun, enthusiastic person. Highly, highly recommended.

It has been a great pleasure learning French with Mathieu. He is very experienced in teaching French and he has developed his own systematic way of teaching. Mathieu also adapted the teaching to my level quickly from speaking, listening and writing perspective, and was able to find the best way to help me improve my French. On top of that, he speaks very good English and Chinese, which makes my understanding some French grammatical rules much more solid. I would highly recommend Mathieu who wants to learn French.
