Gersende

This is my fifth lesson with Gersende, who helped me prepare for an upcoming trip to France by prepping common travel situations. She answered my many many questions patiently and gave me lots culture and travel tips. Gersende is patient, professional, and a great conversationalist. She made me feel very comfortable speaking from lesson one, and she types down words that I've mistaken or am confused about so I could keep them in my notes. She shares lots of great learning materials too, such as podcasts and learning websites. I cannot recommend her enough! Merci beaucoup Gersende! I hope to learn with you again after my trip!

Gersende is my favorite Italki professor. I've been using Italki for years and I've tried over 15-20 different teachers. Gersende is a true expert at correcting and noting mistakes. She is a great conversationalist, very professional, and always on time. She is so good that I am nervous in writing this post, because I'm afraid too many people will start taking lessons with Gersende and I won't be able to find time slots with her!

I like that Gersende focuses on grammar and provides exercises for practice. Thank you for teaching, Gersende!

Very patient, gives good feedback, and caters to your learning style.

I had a great lesson with Gersende. She is very thorough in checking my writing and explaining errors. She gives several suggestions of alternatives to better express my ideas in French. She helps to address grammar concepts that I do not feel comfortable using. I like how I am encouraged to stick to French throughout the lesson. It helps push me beyond my comfort zone. I highly recommend Gersende to those looking to improve their French.
