Cliff H.

13 French lessons

It has been a great experience all around. Not only are my daughter's grades in French higher than ever before (High School French 3 at Carolina Day), but Dena helped my daughter prepare for a 2 week exchange in Dijon. It took a lot of pressure and nervousness away. There was a lot of apprehension about understanding spoken French and functioning in school while there.
Karen L.

3 French lessons

We do not speak French at home, so during the summer they do not use their French language skills very much. I asked Veronique to come to our home (prior to school starting) to work with all 3 kids in French so that their transition back to school would be smooth. It was a great experience. My kids really enjoyed the time that they spent with Veronique each day and looked forward to each tutoring session.
Byeongju P.

105 French lessons

Sylvie taught French to my three children for over two years between September 2012 and October 2014. Her Ph.D. degree was a key reason in initially selecting her. I thought I would get someone who understands the language and culture to the full extent. What I had hoped for I did get, and even more. Sylvie is nice and has this exceptional ability to get children interested in French and to develop passion for learning French in them.
