François is an exceptional French tutor. He crafted a personalized learning plan based on my specific goals, significantly improving my learning and retention. His virtual classroom is incredibly welcoming and free of any judgment. This is vital when learning a language, especially online, where it can be easy to feel self-conscious. François understands this and creates an environment where you feel encouraged to try, even if you stumble. His lessons go beyond grammar and vocabulary, offering insights into French and world cultures. He doesn't just give me the definition of a word; he delves into its nuances, its significance in different contexts, and its cultural connotations. He helps me understand not just what a word means, but why it's used and how it connects to the broader tapestry of the French language. If you're looking for a supportive, enriching, and truly effective French tutor, François is the perfect choice to guide your language learning journey.

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!
