Private teachers in France

I had about 12 lessons with Rose over the course of three weeks. Each lesson was two hours long and was in a small group of three of us--me and my two teenage daughters. We had a great time and learned a lot. Rose was wonderful. She was very reliable and came prepared with a good mix of learning material for us every day. She always had challenging material for us to practice on, but she mixed it up with easier songs and videos and games so we could rest our brains when we became tired from focusing for so long. As you can imagine, having her students be a mom and two teenage daughters wasn't always easy for Rose. We have our own family dynamics and she might have felt awkward at times, but she managed us very well. One of my daughters is very shy and Rose was extremely patient and kind with her. I highly recommend Rose as a tutor. And, I highly recommend encouraging your friends and family to join you for lessons if you are at about the same level of language experience. We had a lot of fun and our French improved a great deal.

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.

My experience with Mathieu has exceeded expectations. He was quick to respond to my initial request for a lesson and communication since has been effortless. Mathieu was able to pick up on my exact French level right away, and has since made me feel comfortable speaking in a foreign language. Our online lessons are always high quality, as if we were sitting in the same room. Teaching is clearly a passion for Mathieu and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve French of any level.
