Benji Baqué

I highly recommend Benji to anyone looking to learn French. After studying with him for a couple years, I've had great success, moving from high beginner (A2) to high intermediate (B2) and enjoying trips to Paris in the summer where my French was not only good enough to get around, but to enjoy time out with acquaintances from line dancing. I was able to understand and participate in table talk for hours about various subjects. My regular practice and progress with Benji is the major contributor to this success. (As well, Benji helps me a lot with selecting, correcting, and producing the materials I use for making digital flashcards--so he's also a major part of the second major contributor to my success.) If you're looking for a French teacher, you should try a lesson with Benji!

After taking lessons from Benji for almost 2 years now, I can honestly say that he's motivated me to continue to learn french as much, if not more than when I started. All of our lessons are high engaging, fun, and most of all I learn something new each class. Sometimes we have a planned lesson and sometimes we just talk about a fun topic for an hour. Don't hesitate to request a class with Benji if you're looking to improve your french and have a great time while doing it!

Notre leçon était très utile et amusant. Je vous recommanderait Benji pour être votre prof de français ! Il est attentif et il explique clairement.

Joshua thoroughly enjoyed today’s lesson which took him on a journey to the game of Dungeons and Dragons. My son who would rather do anything rather than study French is progressing faster with Benji’s help than I am as an adult with 3 teachers and aggressively studying several hours a day. I’m so grateful we found Benji. Whatever his method is it’s working! I’m looking at his schedule today to see if he’ll help me as well! I need the keys to the kingdom of language that he has to share! Merci à vous Benji. À grâce à vous mon fils aime son travail français! Je suis bien heureuse!

Benji had prepared a presentation for me and it was very informative. I learned some new words and was also encouraged to talk. We will meet frequently until my exam.

I just finished my first lesson with Benji, and it was awesome! I felt comfortable trying to speak more than I was confident to do, and he helped me feel safe and relaxed. He asked questions, gave examples, helped refine pronunciation, and more. He was really personable, kind, and skilled. I booked a package and look forward to more!
