Yoann montebrun

Yoann is an excellent and fun teacher. He is always fully focused on the lesson, remembers your strenghts and weaknesses and, in addition to giving and correcting assignments he always uses the subject of the assignment to segue into further conversation (but is always willing to talk about ANYTHING you want) and improve your speaking and understanding REAL French.

We - mainly my twins (turning 10) and I - have been taking lessons with Yoann for close to 4 years. We probably took more than 1,000 classes so far. Currently, my kids follow the whole syllabus of French school curriculum with Yoann. That includes French grammar/reading/phenology, math and geography. They read Harry Potter in French for fun. I boast this because I want to highlight Yoann’ ability. It’s a miracle that my kids that were born in the US to non-French speaking parents to have fluency in French. All the classes were online, and it takes so much soft skills to connect with 6 year olds online to be able to teach them. It’s extremely rare to meet someone this decent and dedicated. He is very very knowledgeable in his craft - teaching and pedagogy. It’s clear that teaching is his vocation and passion. He’s cultured, humble, emotionally intelligent, intellectually curious, disciplined, punctual, adapts to different learning styles and professional. He is THE best teacher.

Today was my first lesson with Yoann. I'm a beginner. He ask me a series of questions (all in french) and ask me to read a short text in order to understand my current level and tailored the class and the methods to it. He showed me a lot of online resources as well as books that we are going to use to improve on the 4 habilities of the language. He was extremely kind and competent. I'm very happy with this first class and look forward to continue learning with him. Hoy fue mi primera lección con Yoann. Soy principiante en el francés. Me hizo una serie de preguntas (todas en francés) y me pidió que leyera un texto breve para comprender mi nivel actual y adaptar la clase y los métodos a él. Me mostró muchos recursos en línea, así como libros que usaremos para mejorar las 4 habilidades del idioma. Fue extremadamente amable y competente. ¡Estoy muy feliz con esta primera clase y espero seguir aprendiendo con él!

Great teacher to learn

Yoann m’a offert une perspective unique en ce qui concerne l’apprentissage du français : l’amélioration des points faibles, la révision des sujets qu’il croyait demandaient plus d’attention et la variété d’activité, tout cela était une grande aide pour mon parcours linguistique. Je suis vraiment reconnaissant pour toutes ses astuces et sa direction. Je vous conseille vivement les cours avec Yoann pour mettre à jour vos connaissances de français ou pour simplement discuter des sujets qui vous intéressent.

Yoann is energetic while also being patient. I recommend him to folks that are looking to improve their French with a native speaker.
