Alexis Nahan

Not only are these lessons filled with enjoyment and inspiration, but Alexis is also a miracle worker! I met him as my first tutor only 3 weeks ago, and even in this very short time, he has already given me the tools and strategies I need to thoroughly and successfully prepare for my upcoming DELF B1 exam. I had originally signed up for the exam last month as a personal challenge, but then I quickly panicked when I realized I had no idea about how to actually prepare. Alexis to the rescue! In just these few lessons, he has broken everything down for me, given me real-life strategies for each part of the exam, and guided me through many practice simulations so that I will know exactly what to expect on the exam day. Instead of feeling overwhelmed as I did before, I now feel organized, disciplined, and calm about how to prepare each task, step by step. I still have a month left in my studying, but my readiness and confidence is growing by the day, all thanks to Alexis.

Alexis challenges me to be my best, every class, every time. He is always well-prepared. He takes notes, provides a written summary after class, and anytime I'm struggling during class, he takes the time to make sure that I understand the concept before moving on. He's created an extensive library covering virtually every aspect of grammar, and can instantly share a document to assist my mastery of the language. To top it off, he's a genuinely caring human being. Alexis has my highest recommendation.

This was my first lesson with Alexis and it was perfect for me. He explained his plan clearly, was very well prepared, and solicited feedback numerous times in order to keep the session aligned with my needs. It was just the right combination of challenging and invigorating for me — someone who has been studying on his own for a while but hasn’t taken a class in decades. I’m very much looking forward to future sessions!

I have been working with Alexis for over a year and a half and it has been an absolute pleasure. I've tried so many teachers over the years but what makes Alexis stand out is not only his skill in tailoring lessons precisely to your needs, an overall great human to relate with. With him, I've learned more than just the French language but also a lot about integrating in a new country, art, politics, etc. He is really motivating and inspiring to constantly do better each time.

I'm starting to notice, after less than 2 months of lessons, that I'm starting to actually get what's going on in French. I'm really seeing progress and am very proud of myself. I wouldn't say I do much besides the lessons and homework, so I can wholeheartedly confirm that Alexis is a great teacher!

The amount of preparation that Alexis puts into each lesson astounds me. He's an extraordinary teacher!
