Kerry C.

14 French lessons

So I contacted Michelle on here, and we hit it right off. She has a great sense of humor and a vast knowledge of French. Although the work itself was grueling, it was far easier when she explained it and gave me some excellent tips along the way. The result is that I saved time, became more confident and less stressed, and even had some fun along the way. Oh, and I even got an A in the class! I literally cannot say thank you enough, in English or in French! Thank you!!

Kellie M.

10 French lessons

She is very patient and answered any questions that I had. Since she is a native French speaker, she was able to help me learn exactly what I needed to go to France and taught me phrases and verbs that I would need on a regular basis during my time there. Her flexible schedule was very helpful, we even did a few lessons over Skype and that worked very well. She was able to tailor our sessions around my needs, which really helped me improve my French!

Alicia H.

7 French lessons

My core classes were getting the best of me so having to shove an elective like French in the mix didn't really excite me. Bethany was very patient and I was impressed with her knowledge of the French language. She did above and beyond what I would have expected at her pay rate. If she didn't know the answer, she was on top of it right away. I really liked that she prepared for my assignments ahead of time - it made our meetings together more efficient.
