I have been taking weekly French lessons with Edite for 4 months, and I couldn't be happier. She always shows up on time with a fabulous attitude, and she makes our lessons something to look forward to. Even though I'm not a very good student, I've gone from speaking hardly any French to being able to read and converse at a basic level. And I've had fun doing it. I highly recommend Edite to anyone looking for a French tutor in the D.C. area! You won't be disappointed!

Oksana S.

Since no one can help him with French at home and during summer holidays kids tend to forget a lot, we hired Ms.Odile to review his past year. The fact that Ms.Odile is a native French speaker, has experience in teaching French to kids and lives near by, were the factors in hiring her. She was always punctual and answered all the questions we had. Mr.Odile was also flexible about the schedule and easily reach by phone or e-mail. My son had great lessons.
