I have been studying French with Kareen for over two years. She is an amazing teacher! I had tried taking French lessons a few years ago but just didn’t connect with the teacher and classroom situation. Kareen’s open and encouraging style made a big difference for me. Her approach is very supportive of where you are on your learning journey. She paces the work so that you progress naturally. She doesn’t overwhelm by going too fast or with too much material. She makes the learning fun by including different ways to learn a language. Kareen augments her one-on-one lessons with learning aides. She provides information to many online resources that you can use to improve your speaking ability. She uses a text that is paced appropriately for a new learner. She encourages you to use other tools too, such as Duolingo, watching movies in the language you are studying, reading material in the language, etc. French is Kareen’s native language so she knows all the nuances of it. She teaches the ‘perfect’ grammatical language and then also augments this with information about how native speakers use the language. This can be very different and very important. Kareen makes ‘doing business’ with her very easy and simple. She is always on time and quickly responds to queries. She utilizes all major online video conferencing platforms. Payment can be done online via Venmo. She is just absolutely top notch! J’adore mon professeur de Francais! Elle est le meilleur!
