François continues to make me feel comfortable during lessons while providing great explanations and content that is just challenging enough that I learn some new vocabulary and grammar while building on my foundation. François is open to suggestions on how you want your lesson to go and is ready to provide you with a lesson that is purely speaking in French on the fly to structured lessons with activities and grammar/vocabulary. He is always open to feedback and that makes him a great teacher. I will continue my lessons with him and it’s something I look forward to every week. 10/10 recommend him! Merci François!

Woww. Je suis très impressionnée par notre premier cours avec ce professeur. Monsieur Normandeau est le meilleur professeur de prononciation ici. Merci beaucoup.

It's always a pleasure speaking with Francois. Our conversations are as natural as possible given my level of French, so I often forget I'm in a 'lesson' and that I'm speaking French!

François is a wonderful teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient, and nonjudgmental. I get the sense he genuinely want’s to help people learn. I am happy that I found a great teacher. If you want to learn French I suggest booking a lesson with François!

François m'a donné de bons conseils pour améliorer ma prononciation avant mes vacances à Montréal. Il a été très patient et m'a bien conseillé. Je recommande.
