About
Conversational skills and Writing correctly in any language is important for communication. French is a difficult language but is not impossible. I will meet you where you are and gradually progress from there. Patience and consistent work is truly the secret of moving effectively.
I love watching each person I work with grow in their confidence as they progress in the language. I have been tutoring for three years now and love conversations on various topics...this is part of the French culture, general knowledge is important and helps in coming across as authentic. Sharing your passions is a great way to connect with people and learn a language quickly.

Hear the teacher speak and see if they can correct your writing. French is a difficult language when it comes to grammar and orthography... these make or break you!

What challenges them the most. And never hesitate to double check what you think you have understood. It will benefit you in the end.
