Danny LACERDA

Danny is an excellent teacher and her teaching style is a lot of fun. The lessons are really enjoyable and always involve plenty of laughter. When I began my journey with her I was a complete beginner and really struggled to put even two words together in conversational French, let alone a full, coherant sentence. Six months later and she's got me to the point where I feel confident enough in my ability that I'll happily be chatting with the locals during my impending trip to France. Danny creates an environment where you are actively encouraged to try, even if you're not sure. There's no judging or stern words, even if you really struggle with the same concept, week in-week out (as I did). Things get explained, very patiently and as often as needed, until it clicks for you. If you're looking for a teacher, I have no hesitation in recommending Danny. She is up there with the best.

Danny has been my teacher for over a year now and I cannot thank her enough for her effort. Thanks to her, I successfully passed the DALF C1 with high marks, bringing me from lacking confidence in speaking French to obtaining a formal certification. I loved her lessons, they were personalized and helped me work on the specific areas that I needed. Even the conversation courses were very well-structured, pushing me to use higher level vocabulary and keeping running lists of my mistakes that I could study later. I would highly recommend Danny to anyone looking to improve their level of French!

Danny est vraiment une professeure extraordinaire, elle m'a beaucoup aidée, et pendant nos cours, j'apprends toujours beaucoup. Grâce à elle, j'ai beaucoup progressé dans mon apprentissage et j'ai plus de confiance en moi quand je parle.

Danny is an excellent teacher. She's interesting and dynamic. She's puts me at ease as a student, while simultaneously challenging me.

I had a great first lesson with Danny. Even though I am still a beginner, I found it very effective that she spoke mainly in French, pushing me to respond in French and practice my conversation skills. Her feedback on how to word phrases/sentences naturally in French was very helpful. She was very encouraging, and I enjoyed the lesson a lot.
