I find Claudine who is a French native, to be a very good tutor for my 17 year old son, who is a senior in High School and preparing for the IB Diploma next year. She is always prepared for her lessons and adds some good humor as well. My son likes working with her and I am very confident that the well help him to achieve his goal of a high points result in his French IB exam.

talented teacher

Claudine is a talented teacher who listens to the needs of her students. She knows when to stop and write out something she has said. Her native language skills are exactly what I needed to prepare for my trip.

Great French Tutor!

I have the pleasure of learning French with Claudine as a complete beginner, and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher! She is incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging, making each lesson both enjoyable and effective. She also brings a lot of enthusiasm and passion for the French language and culture, which makes learning with her even more inspiring. If you're looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and skilled French teacher, I highly recommend Claudine. Merci beaucoup, Claudine! I’m excited to continue my language journey with you.

Excellent French tutor

Claudine is a highly dedicated tutor who has helped me a lot with my French. She always takes the time to prepare each lesson in advance to ensure it is interesting and relevant to my needs, and patiently explains each concept. A native speaker, she has helped me with pronunciation as well as understanding many of the nuances of words and phrases. She is very diplomatic when making corrections. I have really enjoyed the lessons. Highly recommended!

Excellent Tutor and More.

I have been working with Claudine for almost 5 years now and can’t stress enough how great of a teacher she is. I worked with her to prepare for our previous family trips to France and not only did she help me dust off my very rusty French, she helped plan activities for the whole family. This go around my two teenage daughters want to learn some basic french before we go visit this summer. They have had two lessons with her and love the lessons. In only two lessons they have gone from almost no French to being able to speak some basics. I can't recommend Claudine enough. Give her a chance and you won't be disappointed.

Patient and Amazing tutor

I will be moving to France in January and I wanted a tutor to help me with speaking before I left. M. Claudine has been one of the best tutors I’ve ever had. She not only has lesson plans for every session, she also encourages me to practice certain aspects outside of class. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for help with their French.

Amazing Tutor!

Love, love, love learning French with Claudine. I’ve only had a few lessons so far but I am very happy with how she teaches. She uses books, movies, music and a bunch of other methods. I like that because it’s interesting and always different. I highly recommend her if you want to learn French.

Excellent Tutor and More.

I have been working with Claudine for a month now and she is excellent. I haven't spoken French in 20 years and planned a trip to Paris with the family. I wanted someone to help me refresh my speaking abilities. Claudine has done that and more! The very firsts lesson she quickly assessed my French speaking capabilities and then we jumped right in! The last few lessons have been an excellent refresher. The best thing is that she did not stop at simply practicing during our sessions. After asking about the family and our trip, she has provided excellent recommendations on places to see and a wide selection of great activities to do with the kids. I can't recommend Claudine enough. Give her a chance and you won't be disappointed.

Neil, 10 lessons with Claudine

Knowledgable, patient, and strengthens your weak spots!

Claudine so far has helped me understand a few basics when it comes to French literary writing techniques, as well as the proper use and understanding of French verbs and the conjugations associated with those verbs! I am very excited for our next few sessions, as Claudine has already helped me improve greatly with my writing in our first session!
