Thanks to Yvan, I aced my speaking exam ! His conversation classes helped me speak naturally and confidently, and I was able to use many native expressions that made me sound like a real Parisian. Yvan's gentle corrections and focus on everyday French, including slang (argot), made a huge difference. I couldn’t have done it without him—highly recommended!

He’s incredibly patient and attentive, providing clear explanations and helpful tips to refine my accent and sound more natural. Yvan tailors the exercises to my needs, breaking down tricky sounds and practicing them until I feel confident. His feedback is always constructive, and I can already hear the progress I’m making. I’m so grateful for his support and expertise—he’s truly helping me take my French to the next level!
